Join host Nyomi Banks for this inspiring episode featuring Chancellor K. Jackson, author of "Fourteen Days in Beijing" and testament to the power of transforming adversity into abundance. From a promising football career to an unexpected detainment in China, Chancellor's journey demonstrates how gratitude and resilience can turn life's most challenging moments into platforms for empowerment and purpose.
🎯 What You'll Discover: • How to maintain mental strength and accountability during life's lowest moments • The power of transforming trauma into purpose through storytelling • Why adversity introduces us to our true character and potential • How to rebuild identity after losing what defined you • Practical ways to turn setbacks into comebacks through mindset shifts • The importance of embracing every choice and decision as part of your growth
💫 Chancellor's Transformation Story: Born and raised in Atlanta, Chancellor didn't start playing football until 8th grade - late by Georgia standards where most kids begin at 4 or 5. Through sheer determination and manifestation ("I'm going D-I" became his daily mantra), he earned a Division I scholarship to Stetson University. After graduation, he moved to China to teach English, but six months into what was supposed to be a year-long journey, everything changed with three knocks on his apartment door.
⚡ The Beijing Experience: On April 4, 2019, Chancellor was arrested by Beijing police for cannabis use and spent 14 days in Beijing Penitentiary as the only foreigner among 14 Chinese cellmates. With no shared language, no communication with the outside world, and only a plastic bowl and spoon, he faced the ultimate test of mental resilience. Rather than breaking him, this experience became the foundation for his purpose-driven life.
🌟 The Power of Accountability: "I constantly knew what I was doing and the repercussions from my decision making. I can't really get upset with nobody but myself. I got to take this to the chin. I knew my mental was still going to be intact, my spirit was still going to be intact."
🔥 From Prison to Purpose: What started as casual storytelling to friends about his experience became a bestselling book when his friend DeMarco Reddens suggested he write about it. Taking Chancellor's phone and creating an outline in his notes app, DeMarco sparked what would become a publishing empire - six books and counting, with "Fourteen Days in Beijing" hitting #1 in multiple genres over 15 times.
💎 The Coaching Connection: Chancellor now uses his experience to coach young football players, teaching them that "adversity introduces a man to himself." His prison experience provides powerful lessons about pushing through challenges, maintaining character under pressure, and discovering what you're truly made of when everything is stripped away.
🛠️ Building Abundance from Adversity: Chancellor's journey from detained teacher to bestselling author and coach demonstrates several key principles:

Speaker 6 (04:19):
Thanks sim.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
And when you expel, I want you to breathe out tension.
Now gently bring yourself back to this present moment.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
All right, Chancellor again, welcome and if you are new
here to the Season and Self Love podcast, it's something
we do every day Monday through Fridays, just to help
ground us real quick before we get into the topic
in hand.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
All right, So let's start from the beginning. Tell us
a little bit about.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Your upbringing and what life looked like before everything had changed.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
Yeah, so, born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, had a
great childhood and played football vast majority of my life.
I didn't started playing till eighth grade, but that was
a huge component to the overall development of who I
am and just a part of my identity.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
I played all throughout high school. I got to play
at the next level.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
I played four years down at stetsy University, where I
got my bachelor's bachelor's degree in Communication and Media Studies.
After I graduated from Stetson, landed my first job teaching
English and kids in China. So moved to China fresh fresh,
fresh out of college. I was supposed to do a year,
only ended only ended up doing six months before things
went left and I was arrested and served for teen
(05:40):
days in the Beijing penitentiary. Once I got out, I
was immediately deported from the country. Came back to America,
back at Square, went all over again, and just had
to rEFInd myself and continue to work in education. Fell
into coaching football and started writing my first book, fourteen.
(06:01):
And after I published that, it was just.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
It took off on from there. It was just it
was just on from there. I hear you, you know
your experience.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
First of all, it sounded like it was great in
the beginning, but then all of a sudden it just
got so intense. So this is my question, when you
were in that moment. I want to know when you
were in.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
That moment sitting there, Let's say day day two. I
ain't eve wanna talk about day one. Let's go to
day two. How do you.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Feel when you were in day two city in that prison?
What was your thought pattern?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Then?
Speaker 6 (06:33):
Religious trying to make sense of how this thing from
the work, Like, I don't know. Nothing has been explained
to me as far as how this process works, what
my specific charges.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Are, how long I'm going to be here, what are
the rules of jail?
Speaker 6 (06:47):
Uh? Nobody knows I'm in here and right now only
foreigner in itself for fourteen other Chinese men, none of
which I can speak to. So it's just pretty much
just the unknown. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. What's
gonna take place?
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Or how long? Or how to think for the playoff?
You know what I'm saying? What all I'm so, it's
just I guess.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
You say, a little bit of anxiety, but curiousness at
the same curiosity at the same time, and but most
importantly accountable.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
I definitely was accountable because It's like I constantly knew
what I was doing, and I knew the repercussions from
my decision making.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
So now things have hit the fan and here we are,
we ended up in this situation.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
I can't really get upset with nobody but myself, Like, right,
you know what I'm saying, I gotta take this to
the chain, havever.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
It's fill the play out. I knew.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
I was like, I don't know what I'm gonna have
to endure, but I know when it's all said and done,
my mental still gonna be attacked, my spirits still gonna
be attacked.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
I'm still gonna be me. It's gonna be a trial
of mind for sure.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Yeah, yeah, you know that's something that we talk about.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I hear about the mindset, but also we talking about
the choices and decisions that we make in life. You know,
sometimes the things that we do, sometimes people want to
try to shame us or whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
But for me, I said, we need to embrace.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Every action, every choice, and decision that we made in
life because it truly builds who we are in our character.
Just knowing that you were in that prison for fourteen days,
when I'm looking at you right now. I said, that
was a moment that you were told to be still
because you were moving under line on where you were
supposed to be, you know what I mean. And so
(08:35):
in that process of you sitting there and I can't imagine,
and please, I don't want to assume, but I'm just
going to say, as you sitting in there in that room,
there was so many download, so many message that was
coming to you across in that very room. And then
you were able once you left there, you were able
(08:55):
to begin to write that experience from and let me
say this from a heeled place.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Does that make sense?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (09:03):
Yeah, it's definitely hitting it right in my head. Yeah,
it's definitely. I didn't even catch all of the signs
and messages for shadows that I received. It wasn't until
out of wrote the book. And now I'm editing the book.
Oh man, that went clean over man, oh man, that
went clean over my hand. It was giving me signs
(09:25):
the whole time. I was just and so in the moment,
you know, I mean, it was like, yeah, it was crazy.
I was like, okay, yeah, the ancestors they were with
me for sure, for sure, and just my ability to
I didn't It wasn't like I had pen and paper
or anything like that. When I was in there, all
I had was a plastic bowl and the plastic spoon.
(09:48):
So I had literally nothing to keep track of what
was going on day by day. So once I started
writing the book, it really surprised me how I was
able to remember everything is such full detail, such full
detail from the conversations I had, like everything, it was powerful.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
It was like a movie.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
It was like a movie.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Yeah, literally, yeah, it.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Was like a movie. So tell us about writing that
fourteen day in Beijing.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
How how did gratitude help you to transform that trauma
into something just so powerful empowering.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Yeah, so like I knew.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
I mean, of course, like I'm going through this because
my decision maker, But I felt like it was bigger
than that, Like you know what I mean, It's something
really supposed to take away from his experience, but most important,
I was.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
Supposed to do something with it.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
Now, once I got back to America, of course, a
lot of people, a lot of people one ain't even
know I even moved to China, so know, they thought
I was They thought a year had already passed like
a But it's been a year already.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Well you're back, man, it's a crazy time to be flying. Like, bro,
it's only been six months.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
But it just lets me know people living there own
lies there in their own world, so they not really
paying attention fully what's going on, but just informing these
select few of what just took place in why I'm
back in America.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
I'm talking about y'all's dropped, like undivided attention. Mine's blown.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
You know what I'm saying, Like people looking at me different.
It's like, Okay, I got something on my hands. Half
about sharing his story to the masters, I don't know,
but I figured it out. And one day I was
kicking it with one of my good partners, DeMarco Reddins.
He was a traditionally published author before we graduated high
school in twenty fourteen. So he hey, brother, you ain't
think about writing a book about the experience. I was like, well,
(11:37):
that's a good idea. I don't even know where to start.
That's a good idea. He took it even further, took
my phone from me, went to my note section and
left me an outline, and I just started the outline
by me doing that. I called a feel for how
I wanted to go about writing the story, so moved
it from my phone to a Google doc so I
could type it up. And it took me about four
months to get the story written and then just spending
(11:59):
that six months and ready for publishing.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Nice.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Nice, you know on one of my notes here, just
that experience alone, and I can remember what was the
basketball player that was overseen Brittany, Yeah, Brittany, you know
her and knowing just sitting in fear, and I know,
even though it was only fourteen days for you that
was in Beijing, but also just being away from you know,
(12:23):
from home, from everybody like that. Now coming back home,
was there any type of bitterness towards you know, the
country that had just kicked you out, that ported you out,
or was there anything like, you know, like like I
could have I should have, I would have could have
should have?
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Oh yeah, for sure. I mean I was beating myself
up as soon as the cups got put on. I
was like, man, see, I was hard on myself right
then and there because I knew it was over. It
like this entire journey is over, and I wasn't ready
for it to be over. That's the biggest thing. I
feel like if I start something, I like to see
(13:02):
it all the way through.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
So if I'm supposed to do a year, I want
to do my full year, you know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (13:06):
And I knew after a whole year in chime my bra,
ain't no telling who I would be where I'm gonna
be mentally, physically, spiritually, you know what I'm saying, the
whole nine so, and it ain't no ten what other
opportunities somebody have opened presented themselves after doing that full
year out there as well?
Speaker 5 (13:21):
So it was definitely like a bittersweet.
Speaker 6 (13:27):
Just because it's like, man, I was having so much
fun and joined the experience and they then came to screeching.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
Screeching stuff.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
But at the end of the day, I also know
that nothing lasts forever and all things come to it
and eventually, and that the a marathon continues most important,
like this chapter might be done, but a new one
is beginning.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
So exactly exactly, So let's talk about gratitude. It's easy
to feel, you know, grateful when things are good, but
how do we assess the feeling when life is hard.
When you came back home, what was that like for you?
Just even getting back into just even into life. And
(14:09):
I know you said your friend has said, man, you
need to, you know, write a book about this.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
But what was those emotions going into that? You know it?
Speaker 5 (14:18):
Really?
Speaker 6 (14:19):
When I got back, my biggest thing, my biggest concern
is like, Okay, how do I get my money from
the bank in China pack into my possession? Like that's
my biggest thing, because like I was, I was pressing that,
like when they was take me to my apartment to
pack up the rest of myself, say hey, make can
we stopped by a bank bruh so I can get
the rest of my bread out. I get that, then
(14:39):
I'm good. But we just weren't able to We ain't
have enough time to do that. And it was ATMs
in the airport. But I can only pull out like
so much money per transaction I had to set there.
I would have had to sat there and did about
eight nine, probably ten transactions just to get you know
what I'm saying, my bread out, and we just ain't
had the time for it. So that's my biggest I
(15:01):
got to figure out how to get this bread back.
That's first and foremost. Also I was going through a
breakup that like my whole world came crashing around that
time and got arrested. I lost my job and got
kicked at this country and got banned from this country,
and now I'm losing my girl the same time. It's like,
(15:21):
it's not it was just it was a low, low,
low period. But just being around my boys, my partners
and good friends, being around loved ones definitely helped keep
me motivated and driven. I spent a lot of time
in the gym. To me, I was spending hours and
(15:44):
hours days on days in the gym, So just pouring
that love back into myself. And then once I got
into coaching football, now it's like, okay, now it's bigger
than just me, you know what I mean. It's got
other people that's depending upon me, and I got to
develop these kids on top of that. So yeah, it
(16:06):
was it was a process definitely once I got back,
but I was up for and I knew that everything
was going to work out. Yeah, it's gotta cross this bridge,
you know what I'm saying. It's just one step at
a time.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Now, with with your experience even with football, but also
your experience with what you went through when you were
in Beijing, because I really wrong. I want to talk
about the book The Fourteenth Days of Beijing.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
What have you?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
How have you applied that to your coaching style now
with the the young men that you work with now, Just.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
An aspect of just pushing through adversity.
Speaker 6 (16:54):
Adversity is something that everybody is going to face in life.
And these boys playing, trying to play, trying to chase
his football dream. You're gonna face adversity, face adversity during
training lifting weights, or you're out running in this hot sun.
You're gonna face adversity during the game.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
We might be on a down, just a losing streak
right now during the season. You know I'm saying, this
is another form of adversity. Or you might get hurt,
get injured.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
You're to face some type of adversity playing this game,
and adversity introduces a man to himself. M So just
being able to see things through and push through when
times get hard. Just seeing how much bagball you got,
how much character? What's your true character like? You know
(17:44):
what I'm saying, during the father wards where the true
leader thrives, see what you really made of.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
The show for the show.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Yeah, nice, that was nice. So let me ask you this,
have you is that? Is this your only book that
you've published, or have you publis other books?
Speaker 6 (18:01):
I published more since then. So fourteen Days dropped in
twenty twenty. Here we are twenty twenty five, and we're
six books in total.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
Four of those books I've wrote.
Speaker 6 (18:14):
The other two I didn't write, but I just helped
the authors google writing process and helped them publish it
as well.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
But yeah, we six books in.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
I have two romance novels in addition to Fourteen Days.
And I also just dropped a self help book in
April titled The Power of Becoming Seven Pillars of Growth
and Empowerment. And that's pretty much a book full of
quotes and insights centered around seven core themes love, discernment, success, happiness, adversity, healing,
and confidence. And just through the pages, you'll learn how
(18:48):
to re evolutionize your happiness, amplify your confidence, move with
an unshakable sense of self worth, shake limiting beliefs, nurture
healthy relationships. You know what I'm saying, Like it's a
dope breathe for sure, for sure. And we had successful
lunch with that one as well, fourteen Days Beijing.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
It was my best seller.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
Of course, that has done numbers since it dropped, and
it's still is the most popular story by demand today.
But we did have successful Lunch with the Power of
Comment as well that went.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
It led the charts in two different genres.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
Fourteen days I don't hit number one in multiple genres,
you know what I'm saying over fifteen.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
So but yeah, that's where we're at with it now.
Speaker 6 (19:35):
And a big shout out to the other two authors
that I've worked with, Anthony McKinney and Tanisa Sadler. Not
only was I able to help them through the writing
and publishing up their books, but their books went number
one as well.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
You know what I'm saying in multiple genres.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
So, Tanisa, she was fifteen years old when she wrote
the story, sixteen years old when she published it, and
not only did she goes number one, she you have
the number one spot for like nine straight days.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
So stop playing.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Wow, amazing, we're talking about adults. We're talking about teenager
children's that you have reached back to and grabbed them
as happened, allowing them to tell their story and be
just creative that's that's that's some good stuff there.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Chancellor, appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Yeah. So actually, everything that you've been through, it has
definitely had not gone and banged, because honestly, if you
had not gone through those fourteen days in that Beijing prison, then.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
You wouldn't be living in your purpose.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
Thanksully, Yeah, as.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Truly, truly, you know, I love how you you're building
your brand. How has those challenges served as a foundation
for your abundance?
Speaker 6 (20:49):
Just honestly, just be believing in myself again and refining
that passion that football wants, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
Because football was first little first passion.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
I put everything I had into perfecting that and trying
to take it as far as I can. Like I said,
I ain't start playing football till eighth grade. I'm from Georgia.
Anybody that knows about down South Georgia football, it's serious.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Most casts being plays they was four and five.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
I was late to the game by at least a decade,
so I had catching up to do from a physical
standpoint as well as a mental standpoint, just learning the
game of football. But even though I started late, I
still was able to go d one. But that's because
I through my own shure, will and efforts and energy
of putting it for this sport, That's why it was
able to I was able to make that happen.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
It also manifested it as well. I used to say.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
It countlessly and effortlessly when I was a freshman high school, Like,
but I don't care about nemer for what y'all got
going on.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
But I'm trying to go D one.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
That's all I care about. I just want to go
D one. And literally we made that happen. So when
it fast to when now football is gone? M h chance,
who who are you? What's next?
Speaker 2 (22:07):
What's next? Like?
Speaker 5 (22:08):
What do you enjoy doing? B Like? What are you
good at? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
I got to re identify myself all over again. This
is this ain't an easy pier to swallow, but I
was up for the challenge. At the same time, It's
like identified and embodied the student athlete, the football player
for a good amount of time, and I did it
to the fullest. And now it's like, Okay, I gotta
take all that energy and apply it to something else.
I just find football, and I'm like, it's gonna be
(22:33):
a journey to figure that out. But I'm up for
the challenge. And it took all of that going to China,
get mocked up the whole.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
No, just be where we are right here right now.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
So well, that's good even with football being a part
of your foundation because it taught you a lot. It
taught you discipline, it gave you, you know, the framework
on how to make all of this, you know, come
to light to even you know, it's so many different
positions in football, and even though you might train for
this one position, that next year you.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Come around, you might be doing a whole nother position.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Right, So, even in that mindset are going in that
kind of helped.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
You for life.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
And I don't know if a lot of people on
the outside of sports look at it that way. You
understand what I'm saying that sports actually do help you
for your life.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Your life changes in your life growing.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
I myself played basketball, so I played every position in basketball,
you know what I'm saying, which actually helps you to
you know, kind of turn or reinvent yourself or you know,
knowing that you are multi fascinate at what you do.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
So for our listeners out there, that's going through a
tough time. Maybe they feel stuck or lost or you know, overlooked.
What would you say to them?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Right now?
Speaker 6 (23:56):
A quote automatically comes to mind by Nipsey Hustle, and
the quote is long winded, running through this life like
it was mine, detent, but sending every goal high, one
thousand purpose to the path to my own destruction or success.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
But what is mistake without the lesson? You see?
Speaker 6 (24:19):
The best teaching life is your own experience. And none
of us know who we are till we fail. Persons
defined by their reactions to any given situation. Well, who
would you want to define you? Someone else or yourself?
What have you choose to do? And get your heart
to it? Stay strong?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Nice, that's a nice one. That's a real nice one.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
It'll hit deep because I felt it. I felt it,
and you know why I felt it is because I'm
just going through an amazing transformation for myself. I'm having
a surgery done that I just got to explain my
rest and plants removed. And so I've had that over
(25:04):
twenty years of my life, more than over twenty years
of a lot. But also I've headed throughout my whole
entire career. You know, so that is what made me
my money, that made me, you know, famous, all of
those things. So now it's like now I have to
find why I found it. But just going through the
process of having to find out who you are without
certain things that you've had in your life. So again,
(25:26):
like I said, that's like reinventing yourself or better yet making.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
A full.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
A full circle around into your natural being. I have
this conversation with my my therapist here that's on our show,
and one question that he asked me, he said, taking
them out, what would that do for you? And I said,
and thought about it for a second, I said, what
it would do? It would make me hold meaning that
(25:54):
I'm very spiritual grounded and very spiritual connected. And I
knew there was something that was missing for myself. By
being whole, by being able to tell my story, by
being able to be in this progress, we got.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
The season of self love.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
How can I truly talk about being the season of
self love when I have these implants in my body
and I'm not loving and embracing myself in fullness, but
also it's disconnecting me to my spiritual core of it
because I have a foreign object inside of my body.
That's of a choice. It's not something that's keep me alive.
(26:32):
It's of a choice, you know. And so in that case,
I said, you know what, imagine what I feel like
once I take those out, because I'm not at a hundred.
I'm always sick. But once I take things out and
the wisdom and everything spiritual and everything that I get
from my experience in life, I'll be at one hundred
times a hundred.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
You know, so even piggyback or your quote from this hustle,
it's like, now I used to be a for trot.
I no longer am a sprinter. I run a maratha,
I am a long distance runner. Yeah, so I I
I definitely That's why I said, I really loved that.
(27:15):
And I wasn't even a nipsey hustle fed.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
I really didn't really.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Get into, you know, a lot of his things and
teachings until probably after he passed away, because that's it
was just in your face. But I'm kind of glad
that I am a little bit older than you. So
I kind of like was like, wow, this is this
was a deep brother. I kind of understand where he
was coming from.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
You know from what.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
He's where he was speaking and saying, and kind of
took it for some of the things that I do
in my life, you know. Moving forward, all right, So,
you know what, tell me a little bit more about
your book, because we didn't really get into it. I
want to be nosy and I want to say, what
did you do to get put in jail?
Speaker 6 (27:55):
But so it's four nineteen, I'm finna get ready to
hear it's the day off of me. I'm gonn getting
ready to head to this little team building event my
company's hosting. Every month, they host a list of like
five or six different events that you can people can
sign up for, and that's the way for you to
of course meet other people within the company network.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (28:17):
Just find a community out there in China and stuff
like that. So I was gonna be meeting some colleagues
and friends up there, and I always gonna be doing
customized in Chinese fans. I was like, Okay, this seemed
like a cool little little thing to do. I'm like,
I'm a pre game before I go, though. So I'm
in an apartment, I'm drinking some Chinese wand cools, listening
to music, smoking a little cannabis, vibing out, enjoying myself.
(28:40):
I get done, get dressed and shot. I got everything
I need be for. I walk out the door and.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Hear a knock.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
Guests are unfamiliar and I'm just curious to see who
it is. I look through the people and there's to
three opers from the Beijing Police. I instantly got spooked.
You know what I'm saying, like, oh what they doing here?
Scram put everything up, open the door. They come in
question me about drugs. I'm here playing food like I
don't know what they're talking about. Fast forward a little bit.
Another officer enters the apartment with something in his hand
(29:10):
and they communicate to me that I need to pinto
this cup.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
So it's a drug test right there on the spot,
I said, oh, yeah, it's over with. It's over with. Yeah,
So due to drug test results came back instantly. Now
the cups is on me.
Speaker 6 (29:25):
All fours of communication seas exists from this point moving forward.
Bounce around from one precinct to another precinct before I'm
taken to the jail, warm house and once I get there,
unlocked up twenty four hours a day, seven days a week,
fifteen minutes of one sale, nine with the beds, three
soups a day, and all I had was a plastic
bowl and a plastic spool.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
So they do not play there, No, not at all. Wow. Wait,
so let me answer this. Did you know? Don't you know?
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Did you know that you were not supposed to be
smoking weed?
Speaker 6 (30:05):
I was fully aware that that was the first thing
they like we was going through, explained all of that,
you know what I'm saying, and me just so gullible.
I just moving like in being an American, I'm like,
man getting locked up in China, that's not like a
crazy story.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
Oh well, you know what I'm saying. I ain't any
think much of it after that, and the.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Yeah, so whoa, And I guess what I'm thinking, you know,
because here in America, you know, they slap your hand
in and move you along.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Okay, move you along.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
They was like, hell no, we're about to get it
out about it.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
And I'm still a slap on the wrist, cause it's like,
if I didn't write this book, nobody wouldn't know this
happen to me. It didn't follow, It's not on my record.
They don't follow me nowhere like, oh it don't like
literally if I didn't, if I don't, if it wasn't
up to me sharing it, But nobody even noticed I
went through anything like that for sure.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Wow. So to me, can you go back to China?
Can you even go back there?
Speaker 6 (31:07):
I was placed on a five year band, so my
band ended last year, So technically I am like, I
can't go back and visit China if I want to?
Speaker 5 (31:15):
Would I go back? I would't. I probably won't go
out of my way.
Speaker 6 (31:19):
But if in it itself again, for sure, most definitely,
and I will record, I would document it this time.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
That's great content for the book. So you're saying that, so.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Yeah, yeah, So my next question to you is what
what what can the listeners get out of reading your book?
Speaker 6 (31:39):
Entertainment as well as enlightenment, knowledge of a different culture.
And then there's also other cultures within that story as well,
with Brazilians and Chinese folks, Russians, you know what I'm saying.
So you you learn about a bunch of different cultures,
you know what I'm saying, while we underneath the same
(32:01):
roof patience, resilience, gratitude, faith. Yeah, it's a lot that
it's a lot that one can take away from fortunate mission,
and you also get some get some good laughs in there,
like just I'm gonna certain say it.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
So I have a natural sense of humor. I got
a great so even my style of writing, like it
would be moments I'm just being myself. It's like, okay,
you're you'll find yourself laughing in this serious moment, even
though it's I'm saying it's probably not a good moment
to be laughing at. But I'm more than like it
was probably chunkling myself when I was actually going through.
Speaker 3 (32:40):

Speaker 1 (04:22):
And when you expel, I want you to breathe out tension.
Now gently bring yourself back to this present moment.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
All right, Chancellor again, welcome and if you are new
here to the Season and Self Love podcast, it's something
we do every day Monday through Fridays, just to help
ground us real quick before we get into the topic
in hand.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
All right, So let's start from the beginning. Tell us
a little bit about.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Your upbringing and what life looked like before everything had changed.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
Yeah, so, born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, had a
great childhood and played football vast majority of my life.
I didn't started playing till eighth grade, but that was
a huge component to the overall development of who I
am and just a part of my identity.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
I played all throughout high school. I got to play
at the next level.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
I played four years down at stetsy University, where I
got my bachelor's bachelor's degree in Communication and Media Studies.
After I graduated from Stetson, landed my first job teaching
English and kids in China. So moved to China fresh fresh,
fresh out of college. I was supposed to do a year,
only ended only ended up doing six months before things
went left and I was arrested and served for teen
(05:40):
days in the Beijing penitentiary. Once I got out, I
was immediately deported from the country. Came back to America,
back at Square, went all over again, and just had
to rEFInd myself and continue to work in education. Fell
into coaching football and started writing my first book, fourteen.
(06:01):
And after I published that, it was just.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
It took off on from there. It was just it
was just on from there. I hear you, you know
your experience.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
First of all, it sounded like it was great in
the beginning, but then all of a sudden it just
got so intense. So this is my question, when you
were in that moment. I want to know when you
were in.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
That moment sitting there, Let's say day day two. I
ain't eve wanna talk about day one. Let's go to
day two. How do you.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Feel when you were in day two city in that prison?
What was your thought pattern?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Then?
Speaker 6 (06:33):
Religious trying to make sense of how this thing from
the work, Like, I don't know. Nothing has been explained
to me as far as how this process works, what
my specific charges.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Are, how long I'm going to be here, what are
the rules of jail?
Speaker 6 (06:47):
Uh? Nobody knows I'm in here and right now only
foreigner in itself for fourteen other Chinese men, none of
which I can speak to. So it's just pretty much
just the unknown. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. What's
gonna take place?
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Or how long? Or how to think for the playoff?
You know what I'm saying? What all I'm so, it's
just I guess.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
You say, a little bit of anxiety, but curiousness at
the same curiosity at the same time, and but most
importantly accountable.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
I definitely was accountable because It's like I constantly knew
what I was doing, and I knew the repercussions from
my decision making.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
So now things have hit the fan and here we are,
we ended up in this situation.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
I can't really get upset with nobody but myself, Like, right,
you know what I'm saying, I gotta take this to
the chain, havever.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
It's fill the play out. I knew.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
I was like, I don't know what I'm gonna have
to endure, but I know when it's all said and done,
my mental still gonna be attacked, my spirits still gonna
be attacked.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
I'm still gonna be me. It's gonna be a trial
of mind for sure.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Yeah, yeah, you know that's something that we talk about.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I hear about the mindset, but also we talking about
the choices and decisions that we make in life. You know,
sometimes the things that we do, sometimes people want to
try to shame us or whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
But for me, I said, we need to embrace.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Every action, every choice, and decision that we made in
life because it truly builds who we are in our character.
Just knowing that you were in that prison for fourteen days,
when I'm looking at you right now. I said, that
was a moment that you were told to be still
because you were moving under line on where you were
supposed to be, you know what I mean. And so
(08:35):
in that process of you sitting there and I can't imagine,
and please, I don't want to assume, but I'm just
going to say, as you sitting in there in that room,
there was so many download, so many message that was
coming to you across in that very room. And then
you were able once you left there, you were able
(08:55):
to begin to write that experience from and let me
say this from a heeled place.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Does that make sense?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (09:03):
Yeah, it's definitely hitting it right in my head. Yeah,
it's definitely. I didn't even catch all of the signs
and messages for shadows that I received. It wasn't until
out of wrote the book. And now I'm editing the book.
Oh man, that went clean over man, oh man, that
went clean over my hand. It was giving me signs
(09:25):
the whole time. I was just and so in the moment,
you know, I mean, it was like, yeah, it was crazy.
I was like, okay, yeah, the ancestors they were with
me for sure, for sure, and just my ability to
I didn't It wasn't like I had pen and paper
or anything like that. When I was in there, all
I had was a plastic bowl and the plastic spoon.
(09:48):
So I had literally nothing to keep track of what
was going on day by day. So once I started
writing the book, it really surprised me how I was
able to remember everything is such full detail, such full
detail from the conversations I had, like everything, it was powerful.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
It was like a movie.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
It was like a movie.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Yeah, literally, yeah, it.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Was like a movie. So tell us about writing that
fourteen day in Beijing.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
How how did gratitude help you to transform that trauma
into something just so powerful empowering.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Yeah, so like I knew.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
I mean, of course, like I'm going through this because
my decision maker, But I felt like it was bigger
than that, Like you know what I mean, It's something
really supposed to take away from his experience, but most important,
I was.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
Supposed to do something with it.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
Now, once I got back to America, of course, a
lot of people, a lot of people one ain't even
know I even moved to China, so know, they thought
I was They thought a year had already passed like
a But it's been a year already.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Well you're back, man, it's a crazy time to be flying. Like, bro,
it's only been six months.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
But it just lets me know people living there own
lies there in their own world, so they not really
paying attention fully what's going on, but just informing these
select few of what just took place in why I'm
back in America.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
I'm talking about y'all's dropped, like undivided attention. Mine's blown.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
You know what I'm saying, Like people looking at me different.
It's like, Okay, I got something on my hands. Half
about sharing his story to the masters, I don't know,
but I figured it out. And one day I was
kicking it with one of my good partners, DeMarco Reddins.
He was a traditionally published author before we graduated high
school in twenty fourteen. So he hey, brother, you ain't
think about writing a book about the experience. I was like, well,
(11:37):
that's a good idea. I don't even know where to start.
That's a good idea. He took it even further, took
my phone from me, went to my note section and
left me an outline, and I just started the outline
by me doing that. I called a feel for how
I wanted to go about writing the story, so moved
it from my phone to a Google doc so I
could type it up. And it took me about four
months to get the story written and then just spending
(11:59):
that six months and ready for publishing.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Nice.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Nice, you know on one of my notes here, just
that experience alone, and I can remember what was the
basketball player that was overseen Brittany, Yeah, Brittany, you know
her and knowing just sitting in fear, and I know,
even though it was only fourteen days for you that
was in Beijing, but also just being away from you know,
(12:23):
from home, from everybody like that. Now coming back home,
was there any type of bitterness towards you know, the
country that had just kicked you out, that ported you out,
or was there anything like, you know, like like I
could have I should have, I would have could have
should have?
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Oh yeah, for sure. I mean I was beating myself
up as soon as the cups got put on. I
was like, man, see, I was hard on myself right
then and there because I knew it was over. It
like this entire journey is over, and I wasn't ready
for it to be over. That's the biggest thing. I
feel like if I start something, I like to see
(13:02):
it all the way through.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
So if I'm supposed to do a year, I want
to do my full year, you know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (13:06):
And I knew after a whole year in chime my bra,
ain't no telling who I would be where I'm gonna
be mentally, physically, spiritually, you know what I'm saying, the
whole nine so, and it ain't no ten what other
opportunities somebody have opened presented themselves after doing that full
year out there as well?
Speaker 5 (13:21):
So it was definitely like a bittersweet.
Speaker 6 (13:27):
Just because it's like, man, I was having so much
fun and joined the experience and they then came to screeching.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
Screeching stuff.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
But at the end of the day, I also know
that nothing lasts forever and all things come to it
and eventually, and that the a marathon continues most important,
like this chapter might be done, but a new one
is beginning.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
So exactly exactly, So let's talk about gratitude. It's easy
to feel, you know, grateful when things are good, but
how do we assess the feeling when life is hard.
When you came back home, what was that like for you?
Just even getting back into just even into life. And
(14:09):
I know you said your friend has said, man, you
need to, you know, write a book about this.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
But what was those emotions going into that? You know it?
Speaker 5 (14:18):
Really?
Speaker 6 (14:19):
When I got back, my biggest thing, my biggest concern
is like, Okay, how do I get my money from
the bank in China pack into my possession? Like that's
my biggest thing, because like I was, I was pressing that,
like when they was take me to my apartment to
pack up the rest of myself, say hey, make can
we stopped by a bank bruh so I can get
the rest of my bread out. I get that, then
(14:39):
I'm good. But we just weren't able to We ain't
have enough time to do that. And it was ATMs
in the airport. But I can only pull out like
so much money per transaction I had to set there.
I would have had to sat there and did about
eight nine, probably ten transactions just to get you know
what I'm saying, my bread out, and we just ain't
had the time for it. So that's my biggest I
(15:01):
got to figure out how to get this bread back.
That's first and foremost. Also I was going through a
breakup that like my whole world came crashing around that
time and got arrested. I lost my job and got
kicked at this country and got banned from this country,
and now I'm losing my girl the same time. It's like,
(15:21):
it's not it was just it was a low, low,
low period. But just being around my boys, my partners
and good friends, being around loved ones definitely helped keep
me motivated and driven. I spent a lot of time
in the gym. To me, I was spending hours and
(15:44):
hours days on days in the gym, So just pouring
that love back into myself. And then once I got
into coaching football, now it's like, okay, now it's bigger
than just me, you know what I mean. It's got
other people that's depending upon me, and I got to
develop these kids on top of that. So yeah, it
(16:06):
was it was a process definitely once I got back,
but I was up for and I knew that everything
was going to work out. Yeah, it's gotta cross this bridge,
you know what I'm saying. It's just one step at
a time.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Now, with with your experience even with football, but also
your experience with what you went through when you were
in Beijing, because I really wrong. I want to talk
about the book The Fourteenth Days of Beijing.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
What have you?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
How have you applied that to your coaching style now
with the the young men that you work with now, Just.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
An aspect of just pushing through adversity.
Speaker 6 (16:54):
Adversity is something that everybody is going to face in life.
And these boys playing, trying to play, trying to chase
his football dream. You're gonna face adversity, face adversity during
training lifting weights, or you're out running in this hot sun.
You're gonna face adversity during the game.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
We might be on a down, just a losing streak
right now during the season. You know I'm saying, this
is another form of adversity. Or you might get hurt,
get injured.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
You're to face some type of adversity playing this game,
and adversity introduces a man to himself. M So just
being able to see things through and push through when
times get hard. Just seeing how much bagball you got,
how much character? What's your true character like? You know
(17:44):
what I'm saying, during the father wards where the true
leader thrives, see what you really made of.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
The show for the show.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Yeah, nice, that was nice. So let me ask you this,
have you is that? Is this your only book that
you've published, or have you publis other books?
Speaker 6 (18:01):
I published more since then. So fourteen Days dropped in
twenty twenty. Here we are twenty twenty five, and we're
six books in total.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
Four of those books I've wrote.
Speaker 6 (18:14):
The other two I didn't write, but I just helped
the authors google writing process and helped them publish it
as well.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
But yeah, we six books in.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
I have two romance novels in addition to Fourteen Days.
And I also just dropped a self help book in
April titled The Power of Becoming Seven Pillars of Growth
and Empowerment. And that's pretty much a book full of
quotes and insights centered around seven core themes love, discernment, success, happiness, adversity, healing,
and confidence. And just through the pages, you'll learn how
(18:48):
to re evolutionize your happiness, amplify your confidence, move with
an unshakable sense of self worth, shake limiting beliefs, nurture
healthy relationships. You know what I'm saying, Like it's a
dope breathe for sure, for sure. And we had successful
lunch with that one as well, fourteen Days Beijing.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
It was my best seller.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
Of course, that has done numbers since it dropped, and
it's still is the most popular story by demand today.
But we did have successful Lunch with the Power of
Comment as well that went.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
It led the charts in two different genres.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
Fourteen days I don't hit number one in multiple genres,
you know what I'm saying over fifteen.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
So but yeah, that's where we're at with it now.
Speaker 6 (19:35):
And a big shout out to the other two authors
that I've worked with, Anthony McKinney and Tanisa Sadler. Not
only was I able to help them through the writing
and publishing up their books, but their books went number
one as well.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
You know what I'm saying in multiple genres.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
So, Tanisa, she was fifteen years old when she wrote
the story, sixteen years old when she published it, and
not only did she goes number one, she you have
the number one spot for like nine straight days.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
So stop playing.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Wow, amazing, we're talking about adults. We're talking about teenager
children's that you have reached back to and grabbed them
as happened, allowing them to tell their story and be
just creative that's that's that's some good stuff there.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Chancellor, appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Yeah. So actually, everything that you've been through, it has
definitely had not gone and banged, because honestly, if you
had not gone through those fourteen days in that Beijing prison, then.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
You wouldn't be living in your purpose.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
Thanksully, Yeah, as.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Truly, truly, you know, I love how you you're building
your brand. How has those challenges served as a foundation
for your abundance?
Speaker 6 (20:49):
Just honestly, just be believing in myself again and refining
that passion that football wants, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
Because football was first little first passion.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
I put everything I had into perfecting that and trying
to take it as far as I can. Like I said,
I ain't start playing football till eighth grade. I'm from Georgia.
Anybody that knows about down South Georgia football, it's serious.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Most casts being plays they was four and five.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
I was late to the game by at least a decade,
so I had catching up to do from a physical
standpoint as well as a mental standpoint, just learning the
game of football. But even though I started late, I
still was able to go d one. But that's because
I through my own shure, will and efforts and energy
of putting it for this sport, That's why it was
able to I was able to make that happen.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
It also manifested it as well. I used to say.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
It countlessly and effortlessly when I was a freshman high school, Like,
but I don't care about nemer for what y'all got
going on.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
But I'm trying to go D one.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
That's all I care about. I just want to go
D one. And literally we made that happen. So when
it fast to when now football is gone? M h chance,
who who are you? What's next?
Speaker 2 (22:07):
What's next? Like?
Speaker 5 (22:08):
What do you enjoy doing? B Like? What are you
good at? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
I got to re identify myself all over again. This
is this ain't an easy pier to swallow, but I
was up for the challenge. At the same time, It's
like identified and embodied the student athlete, the football player
for a good amount of time, and I did it
to the fullest. And now it's like, Okay, I gotta
take all that energy and apply it to something else.
I just find football, and I'm like, it's gonna be
(22:33):
a journey to figure that out. But I'm up for
the challenge. And it took all of that going to China,
get mocked up the whole.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
No, just be where we are right here right now.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
So well, that's good even with football being a part
of your foundation because it taught you a lot. It
taught you discipline, it gave you, you know, the framework
on how to make all of this, you know, come
to light to even you know, it's so many different
positions in football, and even though you might train for
this one position, that next year you.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Come around, you might be doing a whole nother position.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Right, So, even in that mindset are going in that
kind of helped.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
You for life.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
And I don't know if a lot of people on
the outside of sports look at it that way. You
understand what I'm saying that sports actually do help you
for your life.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Your life changes in your life growing.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
I myself played basketball, so I played every position in basketball,
you know what I'm saying, which actually helps you to
you know, kind of turn or reinvent yourself or you know,
knowing that you are multi fascinate at what you do.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
So for our listeners out there, that's going through a
tough time. Maybe they feel stuck or lost or you know, overlooked.
What would you say to them?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Right now?
Speaker 6 (23:56):
A quote automatically comes to mind by Nipsey Hustle, and
the quote is long winded, running through this life like
it was mine, detent, but sending every goal high, one
thousand purpose to the path to my own destruction or success.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
But what is mistake without the lesson? You see?
Speaker 6 (24:19):
The best teaching life is your own experience. And none
of us know who we are till we fail. Persons
defined by their reactions to any given situation. Well, who
would you want to define you? Someone else or yourself?
What have you choose to do? And get your heart
to it? Stay strong?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Nice, that's a nice one. That's a real nice one.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
It'll hit deep because I felt it. I felt it,
and you know why I felt it is because I'm
just going through an amazing transformation for myself. I'm having
a surgery done that I just got to explain my
rest and plants removed. And so I've had that over
(25:04):
twenty years of my life, more than over twenty years
of a lot. But also I've headed throughout my whole
entire career. You know, so that is what made me
my money, that made me, you know, famous, all of
those things. So now it's like now I have to
find why I found it. But just going through the
process of having to find out who you are without
certain things that you've had in your life. So again,
(25:26):
like I said, that's like reinventing yourself or better yet making.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
A full.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
A full circle around into your natural being. I have
this conversation with my my therapist here that's on our show,
and one question that he asked me, he said, taking
them out, what would that do for you? And I said,
and thought about it for a second, I said, what
it would do? It would make me hold meaning that
(25:54):
I'm very spiritual grounded and very spiritual connected. And I
knew there was something that was missing for myself. By
being whole, by being able to tell my story, by
being able to be in this progress, we got.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
The season of self love.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
How can I truly talk about being the season of
self love when I have these implants in my body
and I'm not loving and embracing myself in fullness, but
also it's disconnecting me to my spiritual core of it
because I have a foreign object inside of my body.
That's of a choice. It's not something that's keep me alive.
(26:32):
It's of a choice, you know. And so in that case,
I said, you know what, imagine what I feel like
once I take those out, because I'm not at a hundred.
I'm always sick. But once I take things out and
the wisdom and everything spiritual and everything that I get
from my experience in life, I'll be at one hundred
times a hundred.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
You know, so even piggyback or your quote from this hustle,
it's like, now I used to be a for trot.
I no longer am a sprinter. I run a maratha,
I am a long distance runner. Yeah, so I I
I definitely That's why I said, I really loved that.
(27:15):
And I wasn't even a nipsey hustle fed.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
I really didn't really.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Get into, you know, a lot of his things and
teachings until probably after he passed away, because that's it
was just in your face. But I'm kind of glad
that I am a little bit older than you. So
I kind of like was like, wow, this is this
was a deep brother. I kind of understand where he
was coming from.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
You know from what.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
He's where he was speaking and saying, and kind of
took it for some of the things that I do
in my life, you know. Moving forward, all right, So,
you know what, tell me a little bit more about
your book, because we didn't really get into it. I
want to be nosy and I want to say, what
did you do to get put in jail?
Speaker 6 (27:55):
But so it's four nineteen, I'm finna get ready to
hear it's the day off of me. I'm gonn getting
ready to head to this little team building event my
company's hosting. Every month, they host a list of like
five or six different events that you can people can
sign up for, and that's the way for you to
of course meet other people within the company network.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (28:17):
Just find a community out there in China and stuff
like that. So I was gonna be meeting some colleagues
and friends up there, and I always gonna be doing
customized in Chinese fans. I was like, Okay, this seemed
like a cool little little thing to do. I'm like,
I'm a pre game before I go, though. So I'm
in an apartment, I'm drinking some Chinese wand cools, listening
to music, smoking a little cannabis, vibing out, enjoying myself.
(28:40):
I get done, get dressed and shot. I got everything
I need be for. I walk out the door and.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Hear a knock.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
Guests are unfamiliar and I'm just curious to see who
it is. I look through the people and there's to
three opers from the Beijing Police. I instantly got spooked.
You know what I'm saying, like, oh what they doing here?
Scram put everything up, open the door. They come in
question me about drugs. I'm here playing food like I
don't know what they're talking about. Fast forward a little bit.
Another officer enters the apartment with something in his hand
(29:10):
and they communicate to me that I need to pinto
this cup.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
So it's a drug test right there on the spot,
I said, oh, yeah, it's over with. It's over with. Yeah,
So due to drug test results came back instantly. Now
the cups is on me.
Speaker 6 (29:25):
All fours of communication seas exists from this point moving forward.
Bounce around from one precinct to another precinct before I'm
taken to the jail, warm house and once I get there,
unlocked up twenty four hours a day, seven days a week,
fifteen minutes of one sale, nine with the beds, three
soups a day, and all I had was a plastic
bowl and a plastic spool.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
So they do not play there, No, not at all. Wow. Wait,
so let me answer this. Did you know? Don't you know?
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Did you know that you were not supposed to be
smoking weed?
Speaker 6 (30:05):
I was fully aware that that was the first thing
they like we was going through, explained all of that,
you know what I'm saying, and me just so gullible.
I just moving like in being an American, I'm like,
man getting locked up in China, that's not like a
crazy story.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
Oh well, you know what I'm saying. I ain't any
think much of it after that, and the.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Yeah, so whoa, And I guess what I'm thinking, you know,
because here in America, you know, they slap your hand
in and move you along.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Okay, move you along.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
They was like, hell no, we're about to get it
out about it.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
And I'm still a slap on the wrist, cause it's like,
if I didn't write this book, nobody wouldn't know this
happen to me. It didn't follow, It's not on my record.
They don't follow me nowhere like, oh it don't like
literally if I didn't, if I don't, if it wasn't
up to me sharing it, But nobody even noticed I
went through anything like that for sure.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Wow. So to me, can you go back to China?
Can you even go back there?
Speaker 6 (31:07):

band ended last year, So technically I am like, I

it's a lot that one can take away from fortunate mission,
and you also get some get some good laughs in there,
like just I'm gonna certain say it.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
So I have a natural sense of humor. I got
a great so even my style of writing, like it
would be moments I'm just being myself. It's like, okay,
you're you'll find yourself laughing in this serious moment, even
though it's I'm saying it's probably not a good moment
to be laughing at. But I'm more than like it
