They let me out at Whole Foods making sandwiches, 40 hours a week, minimum wage, but I'm happy that I'm closer to home.

I can eat good food.

I'm not in a max-aid prison anymore.

And it's like, okay, I'm starting.

I'm starting new.

March 3rd, 2020, I get released.

Three weeks later, the pandemic happens and it's like the city shuts down.

And now it's like, oh, shit, I just got out of prison.

And now the world doesn't know if it's going to, you know, see tomorrow.

It was an easy way for me to get back.

And I met one of the publishers while I was kind of promoting that I had this manuscript out.

And they were like, all right, you know, like, we'll give it a chance.

And I was like pitching, pitching, pitching.

One friend of mine had a podcast.

I got on his podcast, letting them know I had this.

They reached out to me and we're here.

Well, no, this was many moons ago, so I don't think he has it titled the same, but it was called Trapping Anonymous.

And it was basically me detailing what I was doing as like I did today.

It was the first time I did it.

I never got in front of a microphone and I kind of let it be known, hey, listen, this can happen to anybody.
