One day I got into a fight and I spent eight days in solitaire confinement thinking about my life and the decisions I had made that led me to that dark place, literally. \n\nI came out of the hole a different man with a different heart, mind, soul, direction, and outlook on life. I got mentored by a couple of inmates who eventually made parole but within a year they were both back in. This confused me and ticked me off. I wondered how I was going to make it out there. \n\nSince my release in 2006 we’ve opened up a transitional house for men, with another ”ranch” coming, launched a documentary, been on the Mike Huckabee Show, launched this podcast, and it goes into prisons all over the nation.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/20355536/Podbean_Background_check_logo8cpa4.jpg","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/20355536/Podbean_Background_check_logo8cpa4_1200x628.jpg?s=ffdf39534e17b6d328f8cd0690a1598e&e=jpg","podcastUrl":"https://backgroundcheckpodcast.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/backgroundcheckpodcast/feed.xml","theme":"elegant","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pu/pbblog-nxb7i-13699d0","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":10,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-06:00","useDaylightTime":0,"value":-6,"text":"(GMT-06:00) Central America","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":null},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":221,"showComments":false,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":false,"author":"Jay Dan Gumm","engagementStatsBaseUrl":"https://d1.podbean.com/webplayer_engagement?u=68051583e603b7248301e578","shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-nxb7i-13699d0-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/background-check-podcast/id1798865904","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://r4j68.app.goo.gl/?link=https%3A%2F%2Fbackgroundcheckpodcast.podbean.com%3Faction%3DopenPodcast%26podcastId%3Dpbblog20355536%26podcastIdTag%3Dnxb7i&dfl=https%3A%2F%2Fbackgroundcheckpodcast.podbean.com&utm_campaign=pb_web&utm_source=podbean_web&utm_medium=dlink&imv=670&amv=530&isi=973361050&ibi=com.podbean.app.podcast&ipbi=com.podbean.app.podcast&apn=com.podbean.app.podcast","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/0Qf3jldnPzccXlqE3TX1jz","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/fd5f2c3f-591c-46e2-bcc2-46e26c2d4fdb","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"iHeartRadio","link":"https://iheart.com/podcast/269088930","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/iHeartRadio.png","title":null},{"name":"PlayerFM","link":"https://player.fm/series/3649361","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/PlayerFM.png","title":null},{"name":"Listen Notes","link":"https://feed.podbean.com/backgroundcheckpodcast/feed.xml","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/ListenNotes.png","title":null},{"name":"Podchaser","link":"https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/background-check-podcast-1235651","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/Podchaser.webp","title":null},{"name":"BoomPlay","link":"https://www.boomplaymusic.com/podcasts/128551","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/BoomPlay.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Geometric Humanist"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Geometric Humanist"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#8fc31f"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"
