Background Check Podcast
After five DWI’s landed me prison, something had to change. 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. I 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. Since 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.

Show Summary . “Rebuilding Neighborhoods I Destroyed? . Kardell Sims has taken his life and turned it around, from being formerly incarcerated, to guiding others to break free from a path of self-destruction. From an early age, Kardell had the odds against him, spending much of his early years involved with the law. Kardell came from a background with heavy influences of drugs and addiction, and first got involved at the age of 15. He would later spend time in and out of the system. . However, during his last sentence, Kardell realized he needed to completely transform his life. He left behind his old ways by taking courses and learning how to build the type of life he wanted to lead. Once he was released, he secured employment and finished his book, “Inmate to Inspirations.” . Since then, Kardell has used his story to be a life coach for others. Focusing much of his efforts on re-entry and prison prevention, Kardell has been an inspiration for those who’ve been handed life’s hardships. Kardell overcame poverty, gangs, and prison to become a national speaker, 7x author, master certified empowerment coach, and Re-Entry Consultant. . Resources Mentioned in the Show: .
