Peter Meyerhoff. How a 12-Year Prison Sentence Changed His Life. Episode 452 with The Real Brad Lea (TRBL)

Peter Meyerhoff is a very rare type. You could say he had the world in his palm as a kid from athletics, to modeling, and even starring in a movie as a child. Once he hit high school everything changed. He got involved in using drugs, which started out with just weed then came the hard drugs. His life spiraled downhill extremely fast and got arrested multiple times, from stealing cars to robbing houses. He was sent to prison for 12 years at the age of 18 and didn’t get out until after his 30th birthday. Being the alpha male Peter is he ended up getting swallowed up by prison politics and ended up being the shot caller in there. When Peter got out of prison, he hit the streets running. He ended up becoming successful in transferring his pains from prison to drive for success out in the world. He made a couple of million dollars his first 5 years out with only an 8th-grade education.
