I’m Michael Santos and I write to thank you for considering Earning Freedom Mastermind Products and Services. Our products and services will improve outcomes in your school, jail, or prison, or I will insist on giving you a 100% money back guaran-tee.

Please do your diligence. Your research will show that I am authentic and that I make an absolute commitment to provide clients with a 10x return on investment—or clients pay nothing.

At-risk populations respond to Earning Freedom products and services because people who succeeded after struggle deliver the message. Since we offer programs in audio format, video format, or literature, we offer many benefits to administrators who are concerned with safety and security:

• Earning Freedom products contributes to staff safety by building intrinsic moti-vation for people in prison.

• Earning Freedom products do not threaten security because formerly incarcer-ated people teach without every coming into contact with people in your institu-tion—no possible introduction of contraband.

• Earning Freedom products create a true inside-outside reentry program, as inmate family members can simultaneously listen to all podcasts and episodes through iTunes, YouTube, or through MichaelSantos.com.

• Earning Freedom products provide an ongoing steam of content that shows peo-ple how to develop critical thinking skills necessary to reject criminal lifestyle and prepare for success.

• Earning Freedom products provide stories of people who returned to society suc-cessfully.

• Earning Freedom offers ongoing support for staff and inmates.

• Earning Freedom offers train-the-trainer sessions for those who request it.

• Earning Freedom products may be offered through open-ended self-study, or through facilitator led programming.

• Earning Freedom products can be woven through a case-management system to collect data—showing how Earning Freedom products accomplish the following tasks:

» Increase enrollment for all other institutional programs. » Lower levels of disciplinary infractions for those who participate. » Build intrinsic motivation for at-risk populations to prepare for success. » Build critical thinking skills for participants.

Our products include the Earning Freedom podcast that are immediately avail-

able. Those episodes follow a format as follows:

• Each 30-minute podcast shares strategies that I learned from masterminds like Socrates, Mandela, Gandhi, and others. Those strategies empowered me through 26 years in prison. Others can use those strategies to transform their life in a self-directed way.

• I interview other formerly incarcerated individuals who emerged successfully and we discuss how their adjustment inside led to new opportunities and success.

• I interview community leaders who offer guidance on what people with criminal backgrounds can do to transition into the job market.

We produce regularly updated content in the following formats:

• Audio podcasts in MP3 format• Video files in either MP4 or .Mov format• Literature in either PDF or Epub format or softcover books

Please contact me. I would like to share how and why Earning Freedom products and services can serve as a valuable resource for your institution and contribute to your community’s safety.

Sincerely,Michael SantosDesk: 949-334-9119 / Cell: 415-419-1728

Testimonials

I regard Michael Santos as an eminent policy analyst in the field of sentencing and corrections. At Stanford Law School, we welcome his great wisdom about the most needed and feasible improvements in reentry practice and programs.

Joan Petersilia,Professor of Law, Stanford Law School

I wanted to find a Reentry program to build intrinsic motivation for people in prison. The Mastermind course has been that program. I personally facilitate the Mastermind course to our prison’s most problematic prisoners. To be effective as a reentry program, a prison audience must trust and relate to the message. The men in Maine engage because they see that Michael succeeded after release, just as they would like to succeed. I feel the program is most effective when a facilitator can translate the workbook and video presentation onto a whiteboard. This strategy keeps highly resistant participants engaged and challenged.

Michael Tausek, Deputy WardenMaine State Prison

Prisons should give serious consideration to the curriculum prepared by Michael Santos, specifically designed to prepare inmates for release. I read his book, Earn-ing Freedom: Conquering a 45-Year Prison Term. He has the life experience, knowl-edge, skills, and intellect to contribute to the rehabilitation process.

Honorable Robert Tafoya,Superior Court Judge, Bakersfield, California

Michael Santos is a great resource for students at UC Berkeley! I invite him to speak regularly to my large class in Wheeler Hall, with more than 500 students in attendance each time. His dynamic presentations always inspire and educate the Berkeley community. Michael shows the power of human potential and we welcome him to present at Berkeley anytime.

Professor Alan Ross,University of California, Berkeley Haas Business School

I’ve done business with Michael Santos and I will continue to do business with Michael Santos. He inspires me every day and I’m glad to have his friendship. I’ve never had any doubt of the success he would build.

Lee Nobmann, Founder, Golden State Lumber

Michael Santos wants to give back. I find him to be very genuine. He feels very strongly that whatever he can do to help offenders change their lives and become successful, he would like to do. It’s a very compelling story.

Michael Colwell, Assistant DirectorWashington State Correctional Industries

Immediately after his release in 2013, Santos began lecturing at a respected state university. Today, he has a website, course materials for persons facing lengthy prison sentences, scores of supporters and mentors, and the charisma and character to hold a law symposium audience spellbound for every minute of his thirty-minute presentation.

Rory Little,Professor of Law, University of California Hastings College of the Law

Michael Santos is one of the most inspiring people that I have ever met. I had the good fortune of meeting him last year when he spoke at Gideon’s Promise. He has inspired many lawyers. He works with lawyers to improve the outcome for our cli-ents, preparing them so they have meaningful lives in prison and beyond.

Colette Tvedt, Director, National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers

Michael Santos has channeled his fine mind and abundant energy into academic work of excellent quality. His personal and academic achievements while incarcer-ated convince me that he has become a serious and intellectually sophisticated man who has great potential for doing good as well as doing well. His life and skills give promise to anyone enduring challenge.

Alfred Cohn,Professor of Psychology,Hofstra University

Michael Santos’ articles have appeared in scholarly journals and textbooks. His knowledge of the federal prison system and succeeding inside and outside of prison is without equal.

George F. Cole, Professor Emeritus, University of Connecticut

I have noticed over the years that we listen to some people because of what they have to say, and that we listen to others because of where they have been. I listen to Michael Santos for both reasons.

J. Colin Harris, Professor of Religion of and PhilosophyMercer University

“Santos relates how he has structured his prison time to avoid confrontations with other inmates and trouble with guards and has pursued every educational opportu-nity open to him. This culminated in a master’s degree from Hofstra University.”

Edward Humes, Los Angeles Times Sunday Book Review

As Success After Prison shows, nothing can stop an individual who chooses to suc-cess. Despite being incarcerated for longer than 26 years, Michael Santos has come back to society strong. He quickly began applying all that he learned to launch a number of successful business ventures while simultaneously making contributions to society.

Tim Ufkes, Managing DirectorBerkadia

In Success After Prison, Michael Santos shows the results of making good decisions. Even though he started life with a 45-year prison term, he came out and quickly launched a career that brought him into the top percentile of all earners. He em-bodies the characteristics of a hardcore closer. If you follow the guidance in Success After Prison, you will too!

Ryan Stewman,Hardcore Closer

I was happy to assist Michael with the purchase of three investment properties. I found him to be honest and fully capable of articulating an investment strategy—just as he described in Success After Prison. I’m looking forward to assisting Mi-chael with all of his real estate financing needs. His work ethic, as characterized in this book, inspires me to work toward achieving more.

Derek Clemons, Mortgage Banker, Evergreen Mortgage

How do You Prepare for aSentence Commutation?

President Obama commuted sentences for 61 people on March 30,

2016. Many of those people were serving life sentences. Instead of

losing hope, their adjustments while serving time reflected their

commitment to reconciling with society and preparing for success.

Positive attitudes, sustained over time, paid off for people who had

their sentences commuted. A positive attitude and adjustment can

pay off for you, too.

Participate in the Earning Freedom Mastermind Courses. Learn how

behavior inside positions you for success through prison and beyond.

Ten New episodes delivered to the Reentry Center and to Education

each month. Episodes feature formerly incarcerated people who

emerged successfully. Next month I'll present people who received

Presidential Commutations. Emulate their behavior, and success will

come your way, too. Write to the address below so I can learn the

type of information you would like me present next.

EarningFreedom Conquering a 45-Year Prison Term Earning Freedom provides readers with insight on sustaining a high

level of energy through lengthy prison terms. Readers in a prison setting

learn the meaning of visualize / plan / execute. They follow along as I

show them how every decision I made through prison related to the

person I wanted to become upon

release. Through this book, readers

develop an understanding of a

deliberate, values-based adjustment

strategy.
