In this conversation, I sit down with Trey Jones. Trey Jones is a former convict who spent 10 years in a Tennessee prison, and while in prison, he had a near-death experience that awakened him to a very new and different perspective.
While tattooing, Trey was offered a bump, of which turned out to be fentanyl, that put him out for 18 minutes.
After six cans of Narcan and three defibrillator shocks, Trey awakened to a new lens on reality. He joins us to share his current teachings on victim mindset, his insights on what he calls ‘inverted narcissism’, and his wisdom as a coach - Trey moves now as a Personal Authority Coach under the moniker ‘PrisonToPurpose444’ (He’s the founder of ‘From Prison To Purpose’) - He does 1:1 interventions to dismantle victim identity and rebuild authority. He lives a more grounded life these days, as a proud father with his partner and son in the Great Northwest. I actually met him at the edge of a forest - where a gathering of dancing energy healers, eccentric thinkers, connecting artists, and modern shamans met to evolve together, transmute, and dance through their dharma as one.

Notable quotes from Trey on the show:
“Victim mentality is just inverted narcissism.”
“Healing isn’t being understood. Healing is becoming someone that your past can no longer control.”
“Your willpower is a muscle. The more you exercise it, the stronger it is.”
“I don’t believe everyone has to die to find their true self.”
“Empathy without standards creates weak adults.”
“Staying hard is the quickest way to never change.”
“The true you is the witness behind it all.”
“We’re all just trying to pick different versions of ourselves up because we’re all a little piece of the puzzle.”
“If you have a dream or a higher calling, just fucking chase it. Nobody’s going to pursue your passions like you are.”
“Everything in my life needs to change, because everything in my life up to this point led me to this moment.”
“My purpose now is to offer the same perspectives I went through so people don’t have to reach the same levels of rock bottom.”
“Identity is your subconscious beliefs on who you are. You have to surround yourself with people who believe in the identity you believe in.”
“We come down here and everyone gets amnesia. The beauty of life is discovering life itself.”
