About this listen
A captivating story detailing how resilience and inner strength can be combined to overcome mountainous barriers to reach one’s full potential.
Growing up in Ferguson, Missouri, Stanley Andrisse began making poor decisions at a very young age. He started selling dope and was arrested for the first time at 14 years old. By his early 20s, dope dealing had exponentially multiplied, and he found himself sitting in front of a judge facing 20 years to life on drug-trafficking charges. The judge sentenced him to 10 years in a maximum-security prison.
Prison was an experience like none other he’d ever encountered. While challenged with a strong desire for self-renewal, he faced an environment that was not conducive for transformative change. From poor institutional structure and policies to individual institutionalized thinking and behaviors, he battled on a daily basis to retain and maintain his humanity.
Upon release, and after several rejections, Stanley was accepted into a PhD program. He completed his PhD/MBA simultaneously and became an endocrinologist and impactful leader at Johns Hopkins Medicine, specializing in diabetes research.

Stanley confused me for a short while and then i looked at meanings: 'Confidence is a trait that involves positively expressing your abilities and using them to help others, while arrogance relies more on boasting about your skills and keeping them to yourself.'....and it was obvious that he was giving and sharing. I like to think the females who surrounded him from birth...and the character of his dad built his layer of confidence and that strength to move forward...in a big way. But, it is Stanley who had a gift, a strength within that not many have....i don't...and he is deserving of all life can offer him. The after prison life of those who finished their sentences are briliantly discussed and should open many minds and hearts. Thanks for sharibg your story....so far!..May you have many, many more years.
