  • I THOUGHT MY LIFE WAS OVER | Peter "Chappy" Meyerhoff
    Sep 30 2025

    Peter “Chappy” Meyerhoff’s life is the definition of redemption. At 15, he was addicted to meth. At 18, he was sentenced to 12 years in prison. Inside, he became a “shot caller,” running with power and pride—until it all came crashing down.

    After over a decade behind bars and nearly a year in solitary confinement, Peter walked out of prison with nothing but a decision: to never go back. With no high school diploma, no connections, and no plan, he rebuilt from the ground up—turning his pain into purpose.

    Today, Peter is a motivational speaker, author, and host of the Roll Call with Chappy podcast. He uses his platform to speak truth about addiction, incarceration, mindset, and faith—helping others find freedom long before the gates ever open.

    This is the story of a man who lost everything, found himself, and built a new life from the ashes.
