In this episode of the Million Dollar Mastermind podcast, host Larry Weidel is joined by Casey Diaz, a native of El Salvador and a former gang leader. Growing up on the mean streets of Los Angeles, he was forced to fight for his life. His life was forever changed in that cell when one day, God miraculously approached Casey. Upon his release from prison, Casey landed a job making signs and today runs his own company, Samiah Signs.
He is the best-selling author of "The Shot Caller" about his experiences. Casey has recently released the second book in The Shot Caller series: "Ok I Will," written with Mike Yorkey. Casey is also a speaker, doing interviews and speaking engagements on Gang Prevention, Anti Recidivism, Crime and Prison, Domestic Violence, The Structure of Gangs, and my Personal Testimony. He also has a podcast called The Shot Caller with publishing expert Joel Kneedler.
Casey's journey from a violent gang member to a motivational speaker and author is a powerful tale of redemption and transformation. Starting in LA's gang scene at just 11, he rose to become a feared leader by 18, marked by severe domestic violence in his early years. After a transformative experience in prison, Casey rebuilt his life, founding a successful sign business and sharing his story widely through public speaking, podcasting, and media appearances.
