The Low Carb Hustle


Mar 20, 2023

Many people are in prison and don't have anything else to do but be frustrated about the situation. In this episode, Peter shares the incredible story of his life, from a fancy childhood to an unexpected future nightmare in prison.  Listen as he gives insights on the importance of mindset, positive perspective, and faith in God’s plan. Overall, this podcast episode offers a powerful and uplifting message of hope and transformation.

Peter Meyerhoff is a rare type of person who had the world in his palm as a kid. After high school, he got involved in drugs and was imprisoned for 12 years. After prison, he became successful and made a couple of million dollars. He now owns a sober clothing company and is helping the younger generation not go through the rough pitfalls of life. He aims to motivate people, help people get sober, and change the recidivism rate.

 

Key Highlights:

[00:01 - 05:10] Opening Segment

        Peter started his life story with a successful childhood until his life changed when he entered high school.

        He got involved in criminal activities such as stealing cars and breaking into houses to support their drug use.

        At 18, Peter was falsely accused of stealing $155,000 worth of jewelry and given a 12-year prison sentence for a non-dangerous burglary, which was blamed for influencing other juveniles to commit the crime.

[05:11 - 16:10] How Peter Became a Shot Caller

        Peter talks about how his mindset had shifted after being behind bars for so long.

        He tells about his life of being in prison and how he gained respect from other prisoners.

        OGs called Peter “Chappy” in prison because he was addicted to Chapstick. 

[16:11 - 22:27] The Prison System

        Peter is seen as a tough guy who ran yards in jails, leading to people talking about him as tough.

        Being in solitary confinement taught him mental strength, and he wants to help others do the same by developing a new prison curriculum.

        Peter talks about getting in trouble while he is in prison, like stuff that wasn’t allowed, fancy shoes, and sunglasses that cause him to stay longer in prison due to tickets.

[22:28 - 41:47] Switching Mindset

        Peter put things into perspective when he read a book about a little girl who had been kidnapped for 20 years by a pedophile.

        He also shares that he used to feel life was terrible but realized he could improve things by working hard toward success.

        He talks about the business side of things, like making money on football pools or selling cars.

        Confidence helped him get ahead because most people don't have confidence, which keeps them from succeeding.

        Peter used to tell himself positive things and put notes up to remind him. He thinks it's important not to give up when things get tough because that makes a person strong.

[41:48 - 51:37] Closing Segment

     He talked about a podcast called Roll Call with Chappy, where his first episode is about interviewing his parents.

     Roll Call with Chappy is now an approved podcast for tablets in the prison system.

     Peter recommends reading the book by Jaycee Dugard to help change people's perspectives on their difficult situations.

     He also promotes his book, "Against All Odds,” about the biography of his life. The last chapter is about acquiring mental strength and switching mindset from negative to positive thoughts. 

     At the end of the book, he writes about teaching inmates how to be successful through prison curriculum.
