The Rich Somers Report
From Prison to Prosperity: Inspiring Rags to Riches Success Story | Frank Benton E343
What does it take to turn five and a half years in prison into a thriving business, a real estate portfolio, and a personal brand built to inspire? In this episode of The Rich Somers Report, Rich sits down with Frank Benton—entrepreneur, investor, and co-host of Streets to Success—to unpack his journey from incarceration to becoming a leader in business and life.
Rich and Frank discuss:
- How Frank used his time in prison to rebuild his mindset, routine, and personal mission
- Why most people underestimate the power of focus, structure, and delayed gratification
- The step-by-step path from Craigslist gigs to launching a 22-person renovation company
- How he bought his first house, flipped properties, and reinvested into multifamily real estate
- Why brand building, community impact, and staying around the right people changed everything
Frank shares the highs and lows of his transformation—from waking up in his sister’s basement to becoming a full-time business owner and investor. His story is proof that where you start doesn’t determine where you’ll end up—your discipline, circle, and mindset do.
