My name is Duane. People that know me call me sych and some people call me 1st…. I’m from Syracuse, New York but I grew up in Miami . As a kid I traveled a lot because of the sport i trained in and loved called boxing. I even received a full scholarship to North Michigan University. I was living in the Olympic Training Center, but I blew that by getting into trouble and that was my fork in the road. I made the wrong choice and within 9mths I was in jail… TRICKED by the system. Once I went down that road it lead me to a 40yr prison sentence in New Jersey State Prison, where I wasn’t supposed to be released until 2028. I got a complete reversal for racial profiling and was released May 3rd 2002. I did time in Federal prison in New Jersey and was released 2012. Since then I’ve been a business owner a few times. I currently work for the City of Syracuse… My Goal is to make a difference to our youth.. Because I want them to know that what ever choices you make, you better know As Much As You Can about it because “WE” don’t get breaks for what we don’t know!!! I lost 15yrs of my life because I didn’t know!!!!Listen Up Listen In can be heard on all podcast platforms and on the website at: www.listenuplistenin5687.com Email: [e-mail] Send a voice message to my podcast, Listen Up Listen In: https://anchor.fm/b-d92/message--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/b-d92/message
