Atheist, Mike Gonzalez shares his incredible story of going from #1 salesman to state prison and back again. After serving two years for assault and “operating a vehicle without owner’s consent” (stealing a car), Mike returned to not only keep his job but buy the entire company. In this candid conversation, he discusses maintaining his atheist beliefs in prison, where “everybody finds God,” and how he compartmentalized his drinking problem while building a successful career. Mike opens up about the challenges of being an atheist in the prison system, his strong reactions to fellow inmates claiming “God sent them to prison,” and where he falls on the Dawkins scale of belief. A raw, honest discussion about addiction, redemption, and staying true to your convictions in the most challenging circumstances.
