Urban Money Matters
Curtis Carroll found a way to use his downfall
as a major key for a come up. As a young
man, he committed a crime that pretty much
sentenced him to life in prison with no chance
at redemption. While being detained, he found
a way to make his past work for his future all
while using the time he was given to end his
life, he found his form of freedom. Starting with
the basics of learning how to read. Carroll had
gone by his entire life pretending he knew how
to read. Sounding out words, avoiding writing
and every other thing he could do to mask a
form of education he hadn’t found useful living
a life of crime.
After teaching his self to read starting with small
words and building on others he was incredibly
enthusiastic, seeing the world around him
as new. Even from jail, his excitement grew.
Reading every single thing around him. Getting
his hands on a newspaper, however, changed
everything.
Creating a foolproof financial bible, Caroll
learned how to not only read the stocks, but
he created a system that if followed, can lead
a lot of people to a depth of understanding
of what making money and having it work for
you as easy as simply reading a book. People
always say, after a long sentence there is no life
after prison, well not if Curtis has his way. After
watching the interview between Sway in the
morning and Curtis, he has made sure that if
they grant him a second chance at life, he will
be set to have a true chance at living in his truth.
People believe that the choices and decision
we make in life are permanent and who you are
will be your forever identity.
