The Connect- with Johnny Mitchell

Shaun Attwood tells his incredible story of how he went from a working class childhood in England to becoming a successful stockbroker in the United States to running a multi-million dollar drug smuggling empire and eventually doing time in one of the most controversial prison systems in North America. He talks about the web of operations he set up that spanned multiple continents and the blood feud his crew had with the famed mafia underboss Sammy "The Bull" Gravano. Shaun also gives insights on the law enforcement operation that spanned years to take him down and the horrific conditions in prison he faced when he was locked up. Today Shaun has a very successful podcasting career and is an accomplished author. He also does tons of outreach work to help the youth of today not make his same mistakes and steer them away from a life of crime and drug addiction. Go Support Shaun!
