The moment Tom Orlando's life changed forever sits at the heart of this powerful conversation. A promising football player whose career was cut short by injury, Tom found success as a business owner, growing his motorcycle dealership into the top 1% nationwide. But beneath the surface success lurked habits that would lead to devastating consequences.

When a night of drinking ended in a fatal car accident that killed his friend Frank, Tom faced the unimaginable – standing before his friend's family in court as "just the guy that killed their son," before serving five years in prison for manslaughter. Rather than surrendering to despair, Tom discovered Stephen Covey's "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" and convinced prison authorities to let him teach these principles to fellow inmates.

Tom shares the raw emotional weight of his experience with remarkable vulnerability, from the "empty chair" at his friend's family holiday gatherings to the blood-spattered newspaper when another inmate was stabbed beside him in the prison library. Through it all, Tom developed a philosophy that leadership isn't about titles but about "being in charge of the people that do the job and being responsible for those people."

Now working as a leadership expert and recovery coach, Tom's most rewarding moment came years after his release, when a former inmate approached him on a train platform to share how Tom's prison teachings had transformed his life. This powerful testament affirms Tom's belief that everyone has "a God-shaped hole" they attempt to fill, and his mission to help others find healthy ways to fill that void.
