This week, Kenny sits down with Owen Hanson, founder of California Ice Protein, to share a story that defies expectations.

Owen’s journey was anything but traditional. After college, he went from athlete to building an international illegal gambling and drug trafficking operation that spanned continents—before watching it all collapse. Federal prison stripped away the power and the illusion, forcing him to confront every mistake and rebuild from the ground up.

In this episode, Owen opens up about his path from college sports to working with a major Mexican cartel, his time behind bars, and how he ultimately turned his life around. Today, Owen Hanson’s story is one of accountability, resilience, and redemption—proving that no matter how far someone falls, it’s always possible to rise again.
