055. Tommy Breedlove: Living the Wall Street Lifestyle Nearly Killed Him

Starting with humble beginnings where his dad was a Delta mechanic and mom worked several part-time jobs, Tommy wanted to be the first in his family to go to college. At 18 years old he had a number of full ride scholarships to go to several different colleges, but because he grew up in and around a ton of violence and abuse both inside and outside of the home, Tommy never felt safe and ended up committing a violent crime. Through the grace of God and because it was his first offense, he was only sentenced to two years instead of seven and thankfully with good behavior and a work program he was released after six months. While in prison an extraordinary thing happened ... he met a kind and compassionate man who helped him not become a prison statistic, but instead learned how to regain his confidence and courage back.
