What if your prison sentence was the best thing that ever happened to you? Sounds ridiculous at first - but a mindset that takes failure and tough times and turns them into something to learn from and be grateful for is a mindset that will help you power through anything life throws at you.

Brandon Metzler is a real estate investor and serial entrepreneur who focuses his time and energy on empowering others with a sense of self-worth and an entrepreneurial spirit.

On this episode of ConvictEd Life, Zach and Travis sit down with Brandon to dive deep on how Brandon fell in with the wrong crowd at an early age and eventually got his life in order during his time in prison, how life stops when you’re inside and advice for adjusting to a world that’s changed a lot while you were away, and what you need to know about getting started in real estate from zero. Join in for an episode that will help you tap into a positive mindset that recognizes opportunities wherever they show up.

What You’ll Learn:

• What getting back to normal life on the outside looks like according to the law, including things like voting and buying a gun
• How the prison system fails the people in it by releasing them with no resources to help them navigate the outside world
• Why seeing your worst moments as your biggest blessings is a key part of succeeding when you get out
• And much more!
