I first heard Bruce Bryan's story on Joe Rogan's podcast in June 2023. I was moved to tears at what this man has endured despite his innocence.Released from Sing Sing Correctional Facility in NY, Bruce was granted clemency & is awaiting full exoneration.How Bruce was wrongfully convicted of such a heinous crime will make your blood boil. How any human could be robbed of 29 precious years yet choose to see it as an opportunity to be better not bitter, will inspire you to embrace the power of perspective in your own life. The reason I was captivated by Bruce Bryan's story was for the very reason that he embraces the notion that 'life comes from us, not at us'. He so beautifully said in our conversation, 'I chose not to become a product of my environment but rather to make my environment a product of me'. I am blessed to say that Bruce & I now consider ourselves mates. It is easy to bond with a friendly soul, who speaks out with an air of wisdom & smile's with a zest for the opportunities of a new life on the other side of his greatest hardship. Now committed to his work alongside his lawyer & great friend Josh Dubin at 'The Perlmutter Centre for Legal Justice', Bruce is a criminal legal reform strategist, mentor & speaker. In arguably the most moving story I have ever shared on this podcast. We discuss: - Bruce's life before & throughout his prison sentence.- The mentors & fellow inmates who inspired Bruce to embrace education, introspection & a meditation practice to transform his life.- The lessons he learnt through his adversity.- Day to day life in prison.- The legal slavery that takes place within correction facilities.- The prison business that thrives on returning inmates.- The links between poverty & crime: how we can make a difference.- Bruce's inspiring message & purpose on the other side of it all.There is a GoFundMe to support Bruce while he finds his feet.
