Anthony Autry started using at ten, picked up meth at thirty, and was on LAPD’s Pacific Division most-wanted list six months later. He spent more than ten years in custody. Today he trains at Jocko Willink’s gym, coaches active-duty law enforcement — including a sheriff from the jail that once held him — and is about to become a father for the first time at forty-three.
In this episode:
· The high-speed pursuit that ended his using — and getting pulled out from under a house with a Bentley key in his pocket
· Why he calls getting caught the best thing that ever happened to him
· Breaking down in a jail church service, and the two churches he passed on the bus to court
· The judge who offered him a program instead of prison, and what he promised in return
· Thirty days from graduating, fast-tracking to house manager — then a U.S. marshal walked into the kitchen with a federal warrant
· His brother Angelo’s murder, and the rage that came over him at count the hour it was happening
· What Andrew Huberman told him that led to his first child
· Running his own BMR math from a federal cell to get under 10% body fat
· Reading Jocko’s books from a podium to a unit full of guys — and Jocko later telling him to write his own
· Why the deputies who used to have him in custody now pay him to coach them
Guest: Anthony Autry, founder of Unchained Fit — a men’s coaching program built on nutrition, training, discipline, habit and routine. Formerly incarcerated for over ten years, an RDAP mentor in federal prison, now partnered with Jocko Fuel, competing in jiu jitsu, and pursuing expungement with seventeen character letters from special-operations veterans behind him.
