How Our Upbringing Affects Us | Luke Jensen on Drugs, Reform, and Tattoos
Luke Jensen joins me on this episode of the All My Friends Are Felons Podcast to share his harrowing story of how he found himself locked in the state corrections system. Luke had a tumultuous start to his life; one that was full of violence, abuse, and drugs. In spite of having no chance at a good life, he decided that the path he was on wasn't going to lead anywhere good and he needed to make drastic changes. Sometimes it takes a wake up call and an empathetic mentor to change our mindset and fix what's truly wrong in our lives. Tune in to hear how Luke turned his life around and is now a successful business owner in Utah, and how he became the family man HE needed in his childhood.
“They read off my record and my rap sheet, and it was quite a read. Hearing that out loud, I remember looking back and vividly just thinking ‘I sound like a bad person. I sound like I’m somebody that should be locked up.’ They read it off and there were 14, 15 charges and most of them had to do with weapons or violence, or fighting, or getting kicked out of schools, and everything like that.” 39:20
