Anthony Autry started using at ten, picked up meth at thirty, and was on LAPD’s Pacific Division most-wanted list six months later. He spent more than ten years in custody. Today he trains at Jocko Willink’s gym, coaches active-duty law enforcement — including a sheriff from the jail that once held him — and is about to become a father for the first time at forty-three.
In this episode:
· The high-speed pursuit that ended his using — and getting pulled out from under a house with a Bentley key in his pocket
· Why he calls getting caught the best thing that ever happened to him
· Breaking down in a jail church service, and the two churches he passed on the bus to court
· The judge who offered him a program instead of prison, and what he promised in return
· Thirty days from graduating, fast-tracking to house manager — then a U.S. marshal walked into the kitchen with a federal warrant
· His brother Angelo’s murder, and the rage that came over him at count the hour it was happening
· What Andrew Huberman told him that led to his first child
· Running his own BMR math from a federal cell to get under 10% body fat
· Reading Jocko’s books from a podium to a unit full of guys — and Jocko later telling him to write his own
· Why the deputies who used to have him in custody now pay him to coach them
