In this episode of Unlocked, Savannah Chrisley sits down with Ian Bick, host of the Locked In podcast and one of the most unfiltered voices in the criminal justice space right now. What starts as a playful moment about their “locked” and “unlocked” podcast worlds quickly turns into a raw conversation about ambition, mistakes, and what it actually looks like to rebuild a life in public.

Ian shares how he went from being a teenage concert promoter booking major artists to getting indicted by federal agencies at just 19 years old, and how a series of bad decisions spiraled into time in federal prison. He opens up about the realities of life behind bars, the systems that shape people long before they ever see a courtroom, and why he believes restitution, accountability, and storytelling are the real work of redemption.

Savannah and Ian also talk about how Locked In was born out of his own experience inside the system, and why he now uses his platform to humanize everyone involved, from former inmates and law enforcement to families and victims. Ian shares what it was like returning to a “prison” setting for a MrBeast challenge that helped him pay down his court-ordered restitution, and how that experience reshaped the way he looks at freedom, purpose, and responsibility.

This episode is honest, funny in the moments where it can be, and deeply reflective where it needs to be. It’s a conversation about second chances, telling the truth even when it’s uncomfortable, and choosing to do something meaningful with the parts of your story you can’t change.
