From Prison Gangs to 5 Businesses: The Joey Stacks Story

Joey Stacks didn't just grow up on the wrong side of the tracks. He grew up inside the track. East Side San Antonio. Organized crime. Meth labs. FBI raids at age 8. Prison at 17.

By 22, he was moving half-kilo bricks through Austin's nightlife scene — until the task force came knocking.

But this episode isn't about the fall. It's about what happened after.

Two prison sentences. Six years total. A son born while he was fresh out with a monitor on his ankle. A fence-building business that outearned everything he ever made in the streets. And a moment on a job site in Terrell Hills — orange chicken in hand — that changed everything.

Joey Stacks went from confirmed gang member to Discovery Channel feature, supplement company, construction business, clothing line, and father of five. This conversation goes places most podcasts won't.

What prison actually looks like — riots, zip guns, and race politics nobody talks about

Why the "bad guys" get paroled and the good ones stay locked up

How he tracked down a trafficked teenage girl using one Instagram photo and Google Maps

The moment fatherhood hit him like a freight train and he crushed his last cigarette for good

Some people read about this life. Joey lived it — and built something real on the other side.

Dirty Deeds. Real stories. No filter.
