About this listen

From Crown Heights to Wall Street, from private jets and IPOs… to prison, redemption, and back on top again.

In Episode 2 of the Vinny Vegas Vibes Podcast, Dr. Lester Parris, Ph.D., breaks down his journey:

  • Growing up in Brooklyn, inspired by the grind.

  • Stepping into Wall Street during the Wolf of Wall Street era.

  • The rise — luxury cars, private jets, and taking a minority-owned water company public with backing from athletes and Johnson & Johnson.

  • The fall — securities charges, a guilty verdict, and time behind bars.

  • The redemption — finding spirituality, rebuilding, and returning stronger with new ventures, books, and a mission to teach the next generation how to move in the markets.

This is the raw truth about money, power, and redemption. A must-hear for anyone chasing legacy over hype.
