Tuesday, December 30, 2014 This morning I went outside, grateful that I would surpass the 2,400-mile running goal that I set before the year began. I purposely set a much lower running goal than during previous years because I anticipated that business and career responsibilities would interfere with my running schedule. Still, I expected that […]

Monday, December 29, 2014   Katrina Parks, a film producer, gave me some great news today. I’ve been in contact with her since earlier this year, when my friend Shon Hopwood connected us. For those who don’t know, Shon is the author of Law Man and an incredible inspiration to many. After concluding a prison […]

Sunday, December 28, 2014   I’m enjoying this challenge of writing the daily blog for PrisonProfessor.com. This strategy should help me gain traction in spreading awareness of the business that I’m building. By April I will have written more than 100 articles. They will cover topics that include every type of white-collar crime. To gather […]

I really love Newport Beach and Orange County in general. Carole and I have been discussing where we will […]

Friday, December 26, 2014 Determined to make further progress toward my running goal, I set out to run 15 miles this morning. Now I’m within striking distance of reaching my goal, but I still have to run more than 28 miles. That doesn’t seem like much, given that we have five more days before 2014 […]

From my journal, I see that exactly 500 days have now passed since I concluded my obligation to the Bureau of Prisons. I was still in the San Francisco Halfway house on my first Christmas […]

Wednesday, December 24, 2014 Today I received some great advice that is going to help me with the development of PrisonProfessor.com. I spoke with a successful Internet entrepreneur who runs three websites. One of them is well established, generating more than $10,000 per day in revenues. His second site is only two months old, but […]

Tuesday, December 23, 2014 I received a call from a producer at PBS today. She told me that the network was going to rebroadcast the profile it filmed about our work on the PBS NewsHour. That’s great news, as I’m always grateful to expand our brand awareness. She wanted to supplement the episode with more […]

Monday, December 22, 2014 Christian Denmon is a principal at the law firm Denmon & Denmon, in Tampa. He reached out to me a few weeks ago to share an infographic that illustrated the horrors of our nation’s commitment to mass incarceration. I used his infographic in a speech I made at UC Berkeley. I […]

Sunday, December 21, 2014   I purchased a MacBook Pro and a 27” iMac computer a few days after Carole picked me up from prison. That was in August of 2012. I remember being incredibly excited about the thought of getting my hands on a computer. During the decades that I served in prison, I […]
