"From framing crew chaos and family anchors in Maryland suburbs to the electric hum of servers in a downtown Baltimore high-rise—Chapter 3 traces the late 20s to early 30s grind: a Deadhead marriage, three kids born amid hospital scares and pill-addled in-laws, failed insurance stint with my bio dad, epic Grateful Dead road trips, massive builds with Butch, and the pivotal leap into tech. A custom touchscreen kiosk flops, but sparks obsession; dial-up ISP InVision Systems rises—pioneering HDSL hacks, building Barbie's early web empire—while kids toddle through the chaos. Survival bred in sweat and code, anchored by Moriah, Eli, and Carter. Born to fail, bred to survive."

Born to Fail, Bred to Survive – Chapter 2 Breaking Free an audiobook autobiography by Arlin Bleclic

Quit School in Handcuffs, Stole My Bike Back from a Drug Dealer & Fought My Way Out | Born to Fail, Bred to Survive – Chapter 2

Description:

Chapter 2 dives into the raw chaos of my late teens and early 20s—the years I stopped playing by the rules and started rewriting them.

Arrested for a borrowed school snare drum (cops had no warrant, lesson learned hard)

Quit high school the next day, never looked back

Ground zero in a coke-fueled cabinet shop with Baltimore rock legends Lenny & Ted

Crashed my orange van drunk—swore off getting wasted for good

Stared down a drug dealer in his own house to yank back my stolen motorcycle

Ended a stepdad's fists with a cold stare-down

Married at 18, crashed hard, walked away

Broke Dawn Payne out of a group home, outran cops on the getaway

The abortion bomb letter that burned in a drawer for years

Apartment gunshot through the wall (Castle Doctrine saved the day)

Turned down the Budweiser Olympic Fight Team invite because life wouldn't let me chase glory

This is breaking free: quitting the system, quitting toxic love, quitting anything dragging me under. Born to fail the easy road. Bred to survive the fight.

Full raw narration / audiobook style. If you've ever had to burn bridges to save yourself, hit play.
