FOUNDER Overview

MICHAEL SANTOS

While serving 26 years in prison, I drew inspiration from Frederick Douglass, Socrates, Mahatma Gandhi, and others. Their teachings equipped me with the tools to overcome adversity and succeed after release.

The entries below offer insight from leaders who taught me, and that our nonprofit strives to pass along to others.

Goals for 2025: 25 in 2025

I transitioned my career so that my wife and I could devote our time and energy to making a bigger impact with our nonprofit. I set clear goals to achieve during 2025. Some categories for those goals include Fitness, Finance, Contributions.

I continue using the type of daily accountability logs that guided me through 9,500 days in prison. Review the daily blogs to follow along, and get lessons on how you can work toward a higher potential.
