Knowing “the hold” & “the fold” alternatives were made famous representing poker. Cheese on the TRAP is similar for illicit activity and an excerpt from the book "House of Paign". The allure of the TRAP is hitting harder than any options being placed in front of youth & young adults in many cities, towns, and municipalities. The premise of metaphorical cheese (aka quick reward)...is in direct opposition to the realistic traps (aka long-term peril). What IF, there was a workable solution that outweighs the draw of the fast money, promiscuity, and street cred that TRAP Stars obtain? Escaping the TRAP is training based on the philosophy and teaching techniques used by Lincoln & Hill to display to youth & young adults there are gratification alternatives that are delayed instead of instant.

This training concept is a core principle of Lincoln & Hill and is delivered across multiple training & the book that can be purchased on My Author Page/E Mark Pelmore.
