Shaun Attwood, author of three raucous autobiographies: Party Time, Hard Time, and Life Lessons, joins us today for another Art of NGF Victim to Adventurer podcast.
Shaun came to the US from England and made himself a millionaire playing the stock market.
When all that success just didn’t measure up, he dove deep into the rave scene in Arizona, and all the drugs that went with it.
Not only that, but he made himself a drug kingpin, and created a mini-empire moving ecstasy from Amsterdam to Arizona in quantities that would melt your mind.
Fast forward to the SWAT team breaking down his door.
Next scene, the courtroom, where he faced a 200 year prison sentence.
After getting his sentence lowered, living through the challenges of prison life, reading thousands of books, getting out, and returning to the UK, Shaun built up his writing career, started on a endless series of speaking gigs–including most recently a TED talk–and made an entirely new life for himself.
We get into the crazy details, the madness of his experiences, and his very own trajectory toward the life of a true adventurer.
