The Words Behind the Story

In this raw and transformative book, Ethan Fisher outlines the blueprint that took him from a prison cell to the President's List.

Part memoir and part practical guide, From Failure to Success is for anyone feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or defined by their past—and ready to make a different choice.

Before the keynote. Before the standing ovations. Before the 300 campuses. There were notebooks.

These are the verses Ethan wrote when no one was watching — in the years before the accident, during four years in prison, and in the quiet of early sobriety. Not a polished author. Not a trained songwriter. Just a guy in a cell with a pen and nothing but time, learning to write from the people around him.
