Coach Taylor guides the conversation toward real-life applications, showing how acts of service can create positive change in prison, in relationships, and in everyday life.

  • Living Proof: Growth, Gratitude, and GOGI in Action - EP 25
    Dec 28 2025

    Coach Lance returns to the Prison Positive Podcast to share an inspiring update on his life since being released earlier this year—and to celebrate what’s possible when the GOGI Life Tools are lived every day.

    Since his release, Coach Lance has been working, attending school, and actively pursuing his counseling certification. In this conversation, he reflects on the discipline, mindset, and daily application of the GOGI tools that continue to guide his growth on the outside.

    This episode is also a powerful moment of gratitude. Coach Lance came back to personally thank GOGI and to honor a specific coach who is still incarcerated—someone who shared GOGI with him inside and changed his life forever through service, leadership, and belief. Their connection is a living example of how transformation happens organically inside institutions and continues long after release.

    This is what GOGI impact looks like: people serving people, applying the tools consistently, and creating real change from the inside out. On the Prison Positive Podcast, we celebrate these wins—because every step forward matters.

    Topics covered:

    • Life after release and real-world progress
    • Working, schooling, and pursuing counseling certification
    • Gratitude for GOGI and the coaches who serve inside
    • Peer-led transformation within incarceration
    • Applying GOGI tools on the inside and the outside
    • Celebrating growth, accountability, and success
