In this powerful episode of the Rise Above Podcast with Kevin Lanning, we explore Robert’s incredible journey from the depths of addiction to a life of sobriety and service. After falling into the grips of drug addiction, Robert committed an armed robbery that led to a 10-year prison sentence. Inside the prison walls, Robert had to navigate the harsh realities of survival, including seeking protection by affiliating with the Latin Kings.

Now, 12 years sober, Robert opens up about the lessons he learned behind bars, the strength it took to break free from his past, and how he rebuilt his life to become an active member of the sobriety community. This raw and inspiring conversation is a testament to the power of resilience and the possibility of redemption.
