Ep 64 // Understanding The Criminal Mindset with John (Tuan) Doan and Sharon Kilon Han - a podcast by Sharon Kilon Han

What is the root of a criminal behavior? Why do people commit crime and what is the mindset and the thinking pattern of someone living in a criminal and gang lifestyle?

After spending 26 years in prison, John Doan sat down with me to share his story of why he lived a criminal lifestyle, how he learned to transform his mindset, redefine his identity, and rewire his value system.

In this episode, you’ll learn about the criminal mindset he had when he committed the crime that got him a sentence of 15 years to life in prison, the biggest lesson he learned in prison, and the inner work he did to make the decision to transform his way of thinking and behaving.

Now, out on parole, he is serving the community through his work as the CEO of a non-profit organization called Fear For Breakfast, where he hopes to help crime prevention and bring healing on both sides of crime.
