CP #018 From 22 Charges as a Teen to Feeding 2 Million Families
Wed Feb 04 2026
He caught his first case at 15 years old.
Gang life. Street wars. Federal time.
A mindset built for survival — not success.
Philos Cannada sits down with Ash Cash and Jay White for one of the rawest conversations of the year.
This isn’t a highlight reel.
This is the real story — how the streets grabbed him early, how prison hardened him, and how one mental shift changed everything.
From doing 13 years in federal prison
to coming home and turning $2,000 into $25,000 in 30 days
to building real businesses, fixing credit, running ads, and creating freedom —
Philos breaks down:
How environment shapes identityWhy most people never escape the mindsetWhat prison really teaches you (if you’re paying attention)How discipline transfers from the streets to businessWhy your past doesn’t disqualify you — it trains youThis episode is for:
People currently behind the wallAnyone fresh home trying to figure it outFamilies supporting loved ones insideHustlers ready to redirect their energy the right wayNo motivation fluff.
No fairy tales.
Just strategy, accountability, and execution.
🎙 Crime Pays is the #1 personal development platform for formerly incarcerated men, women, and their families.
If Philos can rebuild from this…
so can you.
