16 Years ago a Man with a promising future made a terrible mistake. Charles Duke Tanner was 19-0 and was taking the boxing world by storm. But Boxing slowed down, like he said.."you only get paid when the cameras are on" in a moment of desperation fueled by his desire to lift his family and close friends out of poverty, he made a compromise. One he owns up to by the way. Duke received a double life sentence for a non violent first offense. A sentence that would be unheard of today. But this was the Era of the War on drugs and Duke was being used as an example. Listen to this powerful story of hope,
On the heels of many great people advocating for Duke. The President of the United States of America, Donald Trump read Dukes file and said.."Grant him Clemency" As amazing as that is its just the beginning for this Champion. Its boots on the ground and gloves in the ring for this man who desires to be part of the change we so desperately need. Duke wants to use his story to connect and build leadership skills in this new generation of world changers. Its not about gaining followers. "Its about leaders making leaders that pass em up" Then as they reach a new level of achievement, they turn around and point to us and say. "I learned this from him" Thats all the Glory we need.
Dukes Got Next Tanner, Desire, Discipline, Drive.
