In this powerful episode of Books That Changed My Life, host Chris Collins sits down with Robert Cain, a man whose life reads like a movie script—full of grit, risk, downfall, and redemption. Once a black market cannabis grower in Illinois and longtime goalie on the ice, Robert’s journey took a dramatic turn when he was sentenced to nearly 12 years in federal prison for manufacturing and distributing marijuana.
But it was behind bars that everything changed. Robert shares how The Holy Bible became the book that reshaped his worldview, gave him purpose, and helped him rewrite not just his personal story—but a literal book as well.
While incarcerated, he revisited and completed The Keeper, a comeback story about a hockey goalie that mirrors his own path of resilience and grace.
From martial arts to federal prison, from black market grows to working with Advanced Nutrients, Robert’s life is anything but ordinary. This episode explores the deep transformation that faith, literature, and second chances can bring.
