Nelson sits down with Kyle Sandler, the man behind the viral TikTok page @federalprisontips and the internet’s #1 source for all things federal prison. Known today as a trusted consultant who’s helped thousands of inmates and their families navigate the federal system, Kyle’s story begins in a much different place.

Adopted as a child—an Asian kid raised by Jewish parents in Baltimore—Kyle got his first taste of legal heat as a teenage DJ nearly caught in a payola investigation. He pivoted and became a tech entrepreneur, founding the first Android blog and eventually selling it for $10 million. But success spiraled out of control when he raised too much investor capital, unknowingly violating federal securities laws and ultimately turning his operation into a Ponzi scheme. After receiving a target letter from the FBI, Kyle became a fugitive—until his eventual arrest and sentencing to 8 years in federal prison.

From prison camps to lows and even a medium-security facility, Kyle’s time inside was anything but average. He reinvented himself as the go-to jailhouse lawyer, offering legal help and gaining the respect of inmates and staff alike. Today, he's made it his mission to educate others and bring transparency to the federal prison system through his viral content and consulting firm, Federal Prison Tips.

This episode is packed with lessons, legal insights, and a jaw-dropping redemption story. We even talk about some of the most popular cases in the federal system today like, Diddy and Luigi Mangione and we get Kyle's thoughts on what's going to happen Don’t miss it.

Nelson sits down with Klazzik, a man whose journey from chaos to creativity is nothing short of remarkable. As a young man, Klazzik was consumed by violence—involved in over 37 street fights before adulthood and raised in a trap house where drug dealing was a daily reality. By his teenage years, he was selling crack, building a reputation that ultimately led to a federal investigation and a 10-year prison sentence.

But behind bars, Klazzik found something unexpected—art. Rediscovering his passion for drawing, he became the go-to tattoo artist inside the prison system, earning respect across multiple facilities for his elite-level, freehand tattoo work.

Now a free man, Klazzik has transformed his life, turning his past into purpose and building a thriving tattoo business on the outside. This is a story of survival, self-discovery, and redemption you won't want to miss.
