    CP #014 “If You Can Run a Gang, You Can Run a Multi-Million Dollar Business” — Dr. Marquel Russell
    Dec 3 2025
    They didn’t just underestimate him. They completely misread the strategy in his eyes.From selling weed in high school… to getting locked up as a teen… to being raised by the streets… Marquel Russell grew up thinking he was just a dope boy — not realizing he was actually a strategist in training.Today? He’s helped entrepreneurs generate over $1 BILLION in revenue… with the same mind the system said would never make it off the block.This is not a conversation about crime. This is a conversation about identity — and how changing who you believe you are changes everything around you.Because as Dr. Russell says:“When I was in the streets, I saw myself as a dope boy. That identity shaped every decision I made.”And when he changed that identity? His family, his money, his mindset — his whole life — upgraded.In this powerful Crime Pays episode, Dr. Marquel Russell breaks down:• How survival instincts from the trap translate into million-dollar business skills • Why your identity determines your income • Going from dropout & dealer → father, husband, CEO, strategist • The traffic stop that made him walk away from the streets forever • Why he never removed his gold teeth • How to build a business that runs without you • How returning citizens can pivot into entrepreneurship • Why “if you can run a gang, you can run a business” is real logic • The mindset flips that turn street smarts into CEO brilliance • How scaling isn’t about clients — it’s about professionalizing your whole life • And the trillion-dollar vision behind Strategic Scale InstituteThis is redemption through strategy. This is personal development for the streets. This is what happens when you rewrite the identity life tried to give you.Share this with anyone rebuilding their life, anyone fighting for a second chance, or any young kid who needs to see a model of what’s possible.Crime Pays is the #1 personal development platform for formerly incarcerated men, women, and their families.Tap in.👉 Subscribe for more real stories, raw truths, and redemption. 👉 Join Crime Pays Nation – tools & coaching to thrive beyond the wall: https://www.skool.com/crimepaysacademy📲 Follow Ash Cash: @iamashcash 📲 Follow Jay White: @iamjasonwhite_ 📲 Follow Dr. Marquel Russell: @marquelrussellFollow us: IG @CrimePaysPodcast | TikTok @CrimePays | YouTube – Crime Pays🕒 TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – “I saw myself as a dope boy.” 00:33 – Identity determines your decisions 01:03 – From the trap to a billion dollars 01:13 – Welcome to Crime Pays 01:46 – High school dropout • hustler • strategist 02:05 – The $1B revenue master 02:26 – Transformation, redemption & mindset 03:01 – Calm confidence: the Marquel aura 04:34 – Who is Dr. Russell? 05:02 – Childhood, trauma & early hustling 06:08 – Growing up around addiction 07:02 – Meeting his mother for the first time 08:27 – Entrepreneurship before he knew the word 09:12 – “Was it traumatic?” — hidden childhood wounds 11:22 – Adjusting to a new life 12:02 – Telemarketing, sales & early money mindset 14:24 – Why he never stood on the block 15:41 – School was easy until it wasn’t 16:49 – Dropping out at 16 17:49 – The small operation grows 18:31 – Seeing the strategy early 19:27 – The pricing advantage that changed everything 20:07 – Street economics 101 21:45 – Vision of becoming a kingpin 23:37 – Network marketing introduction 25:14 – The traffic stop that changed his life 26:59 – Jail, survival mode & identity shift 29:44 – Criminal logic = business logic 31:13 – From contract studios to entrepreneurship 33:50 – “You can run a gang, you can run a business.” 35:55 – Network marketing + rejection 37:07 – The gold teeth debate 39:57 – Authenticity as a business magnet 41:44 – The affiliate moment that changed everything 43:47 – Realizing online business > street business 45:14 – Scaling a legit business 47:50 – Building Client Attraction University 50:20 – The identity you cling to becomes your ceiling 52:54 – Why entrepreneurs struggle with delegation 55:11 – The 7-figure identity trap 56:06 – Build companies, not hustles 58:23 – Enter: Strategic Scale Institute 1:00:32 – Equity plays vs coaching fees 1:02:05 – Natural-born strategist 1:04:01 – The real long-term mission 1:06:09 – Building a billion-dollar portfolio 1:08:44 – Final message: Identity shapes everything 1:09:22 – Connect with Dr. Russell 1:09:51 – Closing: Crime Pays

  • CP #013 They Tried to Bury Him: Sheriff Victor Hill Exposes the System That Took Him Down

    CP #013 They Tried to Bury Him: Sheriff Victor Hill Exposes the System That Took Him Down
    Nov 26 2025

    They didn’t just target him.

    They built an entire political machine to silence him.

    Sheriff Victor Hill — former homicide detective, top-voted Clayton County sheriff, bestselling author of Vigilante Sheriff — pulls up to Crime Pays for the rawest, uncut interview he’s done in over a decade.

    For the first time, he breaks down how the system framed him, how a misdemeanor magically became a felony, and how prosecutors, judges, and political insiders flipped the justice system upside down just to take him out.

    From locking down Clayton County with zero tolerance for crime,

    to being sent to one of the worst federal prisons in America,

    to becoming the first man in U.S. history charged with “police brutality” without ever laying a hand on anyone,

    to now running for Congress…

    this is the part of the story they never wanted you to hear.

    This episode exposes:

    • How investigators ignored real killers to focus on political targets

    • How a misdemeanor turned into a felony so he couldn’t run again

    • How prosecutors hid evidence while crime exploded on the streets

    • How judges with conflicts of interest controlled the case

    • Why plea deals destroy innocent people every year

    • Why the justice system profits off chaos, violence, and indictments

    • Why 50,000 people a year sit in prison for crimes they didn’t commit

    • Why America’s “90% conviction rate” is built on fear — not truth

    • How Sheriff Hill plans to fix Congress from the inside

    This isn’t about left or right.

    It’s about truth, accountability, and a system that punishes the wrong people while real criminals roam free.

    If you’re behind the wall, coming home soon, or holding down someone who’s locked up —

    this episode is mandatory.

    Tap in. Share it. Save it. Study it.
