Show Summary:
On this episode we interview Johnny Ward, MA, author, and CEO of From Prison II Purpose.
Johnny admits he was just some dude from the streets, serving a 20 year aggravated sentence, but that didn’t stop him from getting his GED in prison. But he didn’t stop there. He went on to get his Bachelors and Masters degrees. All in the ten years he was in prison.
His passion is contagious. You can hear it in his voice that he wan’t to help as many people as he can as well as improve our justice system.
He lives on a beautiful piece of land in Dayton, TX with his wife Patricia, and all their children. Check out the pics below to see his property and his motorcycle. He said all he wanted was a house big enough for each of their kids to have their own room.
Follow him on social media and check out his youtube channel as well. And if you want to know more about our prison system, buy his book.
Memorable Quote: “I’m going to tell you like this, if God wants you to have it, He’s going to give to you. And if He doesn’t want you to have it, He wants you to have something better.” -Johnny Ward
