What happens when success, status, and survival still leave a man trapped?


In part one of Carmen Lindsay’s conversation with Mayo Sowell, Mayo opens up about his early life, his rise as a standout athlete, the pressure of performance, and the path that eventually led him from SEC football to the drug trade. From growing up between instability and ambition, to playing football at Auburn, to chasing identity through money, recognition, and power, Mayo’s story reveals how easily a life can be shaped by the paths placed in front of us.


But even in the middle of federal charges, mandatory minimums, and a sentence that could have taken decades of his life, God was already at work.
