MasterMind Course: Earning Freedom
About this book
Michael Santos was arrested on August 11, 1987, when he was 23 years old. During an awkward transition between the day of his conviction and the day that he was sentenced, he learned from MasterMinds. While locked inside the Pierce County Jail, facing a sentence of life without the possibility of parole, Michael read the story of Socrates. Socrates was incarcerated and awaiting his execution. He was given an opportunity to escape. Yet rather than accepting that opportunity to live out the rest of his life in exile, Socrates chose to serve his sentence. Socrates gave a reason that inspired Michael. Michael then made a 100% commitment to learn from other MasterMinds. He went on to learn from leaders like Nelson Mandela, Viktor Frankl, Gandhi, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Jack Welch. They taught him that people have faced struggles and challenges from the beginning of time. Those leaders empowered Michael, convincing him that he could overcome challenges associated with living in confinement, even if he would be incarcerated for multiple decades. Anyone who choses to embrace the MasterMind principles could overcome past bad decisions or current bad circumstances. Through this MasterMind course, readers will learn how MasterMind principles led Michael to strengthen himself through each of the 9,500 days that he lived as a federal prisoner, serving time in prisons of every security level. While incarcerated, Michael earned a bachelor’s degree from Mercer University and a master’s degree from Hofstra University. He published more than a dozen books from inside of prison boundaries. Earnings from those books allowed him to marry the love of his life and support her from inside prison boundaries. When Michael concluded his 26th year as a federal prisoner, San Francisco State University hired Michael to serve as an adjunct professor.
