From Prison Cell to Business Success - Joe Kwon | I Catch Killers

[@truecrimeaustralia]

From Prison Cell to Business Success - Joe Kwon | I Catch Killers Convicted drug dealer Joe Kwon shared a prison cell with a billionaire accountant, who changed his life forever. In exchange for providing his protection, Joe’s new cellmate taught him about business and encouraged him to read. After being released, Joe went to university and set out on his own, working with some of the country’s leading companies and helping other ex-cons earn a second chance. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ I Catch Killers with Gary Jubelin True Crime Listen on Apple Podcasts ► Connect With True Crime Australia Online: bit.ly/46xCXDb ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ► Subscribe To Our True Crime Australia KZbin Channel: bit.ly/3iU23Fm ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ► Follow Us on Facebook: facebook.com/TrueCrimeAustralia ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Introduction 02:45 - Business for good 06:37 - The start of ConFit 11:21 - Supporting kids in prison 17:20 - How to reduce recidivism 23:22 - Helping stop youth crime 27:30 - From prisoner to scholarship recipient 30:39 - Inside Scandinavian prisons 36:47 - Inside US prisons 41:29 - What is ReLove? 44:22 - Devils and angels #truecrime #truecrimeaustralia #crime #crimestory #crimejunkie

He’s calm, articulate, inspiring and not an ounce of arrogance about him. He’s even made me feel more positive and motivated!

[@lindab424]

I am not Joe's mum but I am a mum and I am really proud he has been able to turn his life around and do such positive things. Joe, you should be also be very proud of yourself. Great podcast Gary.

[@michaelsavas3521]

Great work gentlemen lovely story, props to Gary for shedding light on it!

[@lesflynn4455]

Joe has so much to be proud of. Incredible U-turn. He's a keynote speaker at big corporate events, with massive companies funding his business. I'm sure he's not rolling in money but making a good wage, doing good stuff for people. What a legend.

[@sydney8382]

Great guest, big up to Joey, I was glued through the whole podcast

[@glennjohnvanroon1026]

Great podcast Gary

[@poizen-ivy]

wow, what a positive and impressive dude.

[@Marina-wo2xp]

What a wonderful episode! Thank you Gary and well done Joe. It's this kind of work that makes our society a better place to live. People need hope - need to know they can be accepted by society, in order to reform. Like was said, not everyone wants to change, but worth helping the ones that do 🙏🏻✨️

[@jonathankerr882]

Joe your mum would be very proud, your a true inspiration. Well done mate

[@ljawgtn1393]

Just Wow! The trajectories you are altering for the better would be hard to put a number on. Impressive. So happy for your Mum, and a shout out to the "billionaire accountant" too. Top show 🙃😊

[@scottcroucher8821]

Grate business man That’s what the community needs And joe is that

[@doingadlay]

So good

[@michellee8369]

Great channel Gary I’ve become a more empathetic and understanding individual. And well done Joe you have worked hard and deserve the best keep at it brother.

[@bigbangger998]

Good on ya Joe. It's people like you that make the world a better place 👍

[@anniemac7545]

What a wonderful story, I feel proud of you, even though I don't know you. I literally got goosebumps over your story. I love the name of fitness business...! Brilliant. I've always believed that most recidivism in prisons, is due to not having the tools, knowledge, self belief and support. Discrimination is hard to fight out in society. We certainly could take a leaf out of Scandinavian prison system, compared to the USA's prison/judicial system which is seriously disgraceful, over crowded, discrimination is rife, any hope is demolished, after all some states still have the Death sentence.. Rikers Island is the worst of the worst. All the best in your journey of life Joe.🥰😇

Joey Kwon man your awesome bro. I’m 47 and still don’t know what I am passionate about. After listening to you I’m truly inspired thank you bro

[@CarlosGutierrez-o8x]

Well done

[@TheButchersApprentice]

I dont know how to put the words into how impressed i am, this kid has so much guts. The scandinavia setup really shows how australian societal mantras are still a just a modern version of port arthurs old gaol.

[@doingadlay]

Very intelligent man

[@triebo1]

generational crime is the core of the problem criminal parents raising criminal children i applaud you for trying to help these young people to try and change their lives. your transition is impressive good luck

[@mental-qd5lh]

Well done brother

[@lesflynn4455]

Wow. Just getting the visa to visit the US would have been a nightmare for a dude on parole.

[@rumpleforeskin9543]

Interesting young man.

[@Toonakes27]

Spanian needs to learn from this guy, well spoken and positive vibes

[@NuriiG]

👌👌👌

[@tt0xb]

Need to get this bloke out into the rough 'burbs instead of Spanian the dropkick so kids can have something to aspire to.

[@jamesbooster]

Agree. But it would make it less interesting for views. But definitely agree Joe would be far better mindset for the burbs.

[@Timberstuff]

Not sure if I agree that everyone deserves. Some things are no redemption act's.

[@sallyannefuller1000]

Yep. Keep Government funding out if u can. Sooner or later they will want a say in what u do. Yep. My experience and observations with male youth especially is the only men that speak half decently to them is the Police and Security . Bad attention is Good attention even through the teen years.

[@jamiemackintosh2929]

well done joe 👏

[@kritz1267]

fraud

[@Whatamachineaustralia]

Try hard

[@GeraldineMaher-o8h]

Amazing 🤗🙌

[@mischakonopka5642]

Inspirational story. Hopefully the young people doing time get a chance to see it. Joe will certainly change more than one life through his efforts. Former boxer Nader Hamden is doing similar work in youth centres these days too. Might be a good interview for another day.
