The former ecstasy drug dealer and stockbroker millionaire Shaun Attwood spent 6 years in one of America's deadliest jails. He was lucky - his sentence should have been 200 years. But after his family back in the UK begged for forgiveness, remortgaged their house and sold some of their pension funds to pay for legal costs, the judge softened on his 'hard' time. Life behind bars wasn't all plain sailing. Playing chess with members of the mafia in super max, surviving cockroaches come nightfall and facing the agony of knowing his loved ones were being penalised for every mistake he'd ever made are just a handful of the experiences he recalls during his conversation with FIMpod's Clare Freeman. Now a clean living yoga'ing public speaker and author, Shaun talks to students about the consequences he faced living a life of drugs and crime. His biggest f**k it moment?

Brought to you by ASFB Productions. Music by Thomas Ragsdale.
