How the Legal System Failed Bruce Bryan
At 23, Bruce Bryan was arrested for a murder he didn't commit and sentenced to 37.5 years to life. It took 29 years — and a signature from Governor Kathy Hochul — for him to walk free.In this episode, Bruce joins Kenny to talk about the wrongful conviction that stole nearly three decades of his life — a crooked prosecutor, an unfit defense attorney, and years spent in Rikers Island and Sing Sing. But more than that, it's a conversation about mindset: how he refused to let prison define him, the difference between loneliness and being alone, and how books like Man's Search for Meaning helped him turn his cell into a classroom.Today, Bruce is a patent-holding inventor (Judge Score AI, built to help prevent wrongful convictions), a board member at the Jericho Project, and an advocate who now returns to Rikers to speak with the people the system forgot.This is a conversation about hope, discipline, and what it really means to be strong.Chapters: 00:00 Intro01:17 Wrongfully Convicted at 2308:32 “My Prosecutor Was Crooked”14:17 The Brutal Reality of Rikers Island19:02 Why Innocent People Plead Guilty28:59 Building Winners Through Community37:10 Discipline and the 29-Year Fight for Freedom46:50 The Public Defender Who Couldn’t Defend Him50:19 The Loneliness of Wrongful Imprisonment53:28 Becoming a Thriver, Not Just a Survivor59:55 Freedom After 29 Years01:05:51 Materialism, Faith and What Really Matters01:12:39 Creating Judge Score AI01:17:42 Giving Back Through Fitness and Prison Reform01:25:24 When Exoneration Comes Too LateConnect with Bruce BryanInstagram: @bruce.bryan24Connect with Kenny and Strong New York: Instagram: @kennysantucciInstagram: @strongnewyorkFollow the Strong New York Podcast: Instagram: @strongnewyorkpodThis episode is sponsored by:🔥 Celsius — the energy drink that fuels every Strong New York workout.

Dr. David Rabin: The Neuroscience of Learning, Safety & Why Gen Z's Brains Are Struggling
Psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Dave Rabin (co-founder of Apollo Neuroscience) joins Kenny Santucci to break down why modern life feels so complicated — and why it doesn't have to be. From his new book "A Simple Guide to Being Alive," Dr. Rabin explains the neuroscience of bottom-up learning, why Gen Z is the first generation to score lower on cognitive tests than the one before it, how screens hijack your nervous system, and why feeling safe is the foundation of learning, healing, and manifestation. They also get into caffeine, nicotine, and nootropics from a neuroscientist's perspective — and why we should treat plant medicines with respect instead of abuse.If you've ever felt like you don't know how to sleep, calm down, or focus — this episode is your reset button.#Neuroscience #StrongNewYork #ApolloNeuro #MentalHealth #podcast CONNECT: Follow Kenny: @kennysantucciFollow Strong New York: @strongnewyorkFollow Dr.David Rabin: @drdavidrabinThis episode is sponsored by Celsius, the energy drink that fuels every Strong New York workout.
