Background
Published in 2022, Armed with Good Intentions by Wallo267 (Wallace Peeples) is a memoir that chronicles the author’s journey from incarceration to personal transformation and public influence. Drawing on his own life experiences, Wallo reflects on the mindset and choices that led to his imprisonment at a young age and the discipline and clarity he developed while serving a 20-year sentence. The book presents his story as a testament to using time wisely, embracing accountability, and finding purpose. Through anecdotes and direct commentary, he emphasizes the importance of internal change and the practical steps that helped him transition into a motivational speaker and entrepreneur after his release.
My Thoughts
I started reading this book at the same time as reading “We Can Do Hard Things” by Glennon Doyle et al. What a world of difference! Here is someone with actual problems who gained some perspective, broke the cycle, and is out to break that cycle for others just like him. After reading his story, I’m convinced he deserves all the wealth and success he has earned.
Recommendation
An inspiring story though the concepts and language is not for youth.
