My buddy Cat and I go way back to childhood, hustling side-by-side trying to make our big dreams come true on the streets of Queens. I was building a game-changing clothing empire from scratch, while Cat tirelessly trained to become a champion prizefighter.
But our fortunes forked down radically divergent paths one fateful day when Cat got thrown in prison for a bone-chilling stretch...for a horrifying crime he never actually committed.
With Cat caged behind bars, my clothing business exploded into a worldwide phenomenon. But while I jet-setted to glitzy red carpets around the globe, my man was eating slop, dodging shanks, and scraping to survive each day in a soul-crushing cell.
After nearly a decade incarcerated, Cat finally emerged from prison into a strange new world, with a warehouse of mind-blowing stories no one's heard publicly before now. From bowls of maggoty prison gruel and riots in the yard, to cozying up with criminals and cons, Cat's seen it all.
You'll NEVER guess the twisted characters he became cellmates with!
Luckily Cat managed to stay positive and kept his mad street smarts locked down tight. Because between corrupt guards, ruthless gang wars, and batting back the excruciating pain of his squashed dream, my man stared down the precipice of losing his grip on reality more times than he can count.
But after all Cat's been through, he still keeps it ultra-real. Hear his unbelievable battles first-hand when Cat and I take it back on my podcast. From golden boxing gloves to shivs and shanks, you WON'T BELIEVE the twists and turns his journey took!
So tune in for PART 1 of my raw, no-holds-barred conversation with Cat. His mind-blowing saga is one HELLUVA rollercoaster ride!
