About this episode
The episode discusses how to prepare for the final days before federal prison, focusing on family dynamics and building routines to combat boredom.
When people ask me how to prepare for the final days before prison, I start at home. This is harder on your family than it is on you. No sleeping in. No complaining. You set the tone by functioning and leading. Once the household is steady, I focus on what comes next. Minimum-security prison isn't what TV shows. The real risk is boredom. That's where bad decisions start. We build routines early so clients arrive prepared for the obstacles ahead—even on days they don't feel like preparing. Leadership doesn't pause because prison is coming. Join our weekly webinar every Tuesday at 11AM Pacific / 2PM Eastern.
