If you’ve been indicted, you may value my work as a prison consultant. I show people how to overcome current challenges by making deliberate choices. Deliberate strategies empowered me through the 26 years that I lived in federal prison and I’m convinced that a deliberate strategy can help anyone who needs to overcome struggle.
Many people who contact me face charges for white-collar crime or for business-related crime. Defense attorneys help them with the judicial proceedings. In my role as a prison consultant, I help them focus on what steps they can take to prepare for success through the journey. Besides working with clients to position them for the lowest-possible sentence in the best possible environment, I help them understand how they can use their time wisely so they emerge from prison successfully.

One strategy that worked well for me was to write my own narrative. In today’s podcast, I’m pleased to present Patrick Ambron. While in college, Patrick joined friends from Syracuse University to launch BrandYourself.com. The innovative company provides resources for people who want to contribute to the narrative of their life. This service can prove especially useful for anyone who has a criminal record.
As Patrick discussed during our podcast today, no one can escape the power of an Internet search engine like Google. When people want to learn about someone else, the search frequently begins with an inquiry on Google. Individuals who fail to take action allow others to control what Google will present. Those who want to influence the narrative will take a more deliberate approach.
Patrick suggested a multipronged strategy:
Build a personal website. Load regular content onto the website that will highlight the positive aspects of your life. Create a series of social media profiles. Cross link the website with the social media profiles so that Google has more content to share. Participate in other social media sites like Quora to demonstrate areas of expertise. Continuously add new and relevant content.It doesn’t matter whether you’re in prison or you’re going to prison, you can find ways to stay relevant in the world. Through our MasterMind program, I showed the many ways that I was able to use my time in prison to prepare for success. You can and should do the same. Those strategies will help you mitigate the damage that articles about mortgage fraud, healthcare fraud, securities fraud, or tax fraud can cause. If you want to prepare for a better outcome from federal prison, then I urge you to use the guidance that Patrick provided on today’s podcast.
