Meet Your Hosts
COACH
CHUCK
​Charles Leon Price Jr. aka Coach Chuck was born on May 29, 1975 to the lovely Sharon White Price and the late Charles L. Price Sr. in Saint Petersburg, Florida.
By the time he had reached puberty, he had developed a love and fascination for the glamour and hustle of the streets. Unfortunately, this roguish life that he so admired soon begun to take a downward spiral, plunging him into a life of delinquency and crime.
At the age of twelve, he had already been introduced to the juvenile justice system. By fourteen, he was serving time for armed robbery. By age seventeen, he was a high school dropout who spent his days smoking marijuana, which would eventually lead to his relentless encounter with cocaine.
But God was still in charge.
While serving time for carjacking and possession of crack cocaine, Coach Chuck realized that the type of person he had become wasn’t the person whom God created him to be, and the life he had lived was definitely not the life that God had intended for him. Armed with a new found love for the Lord, he abandoned his thuggish lifestyle and embraced his desires to develop and intimate relationship with Christ and find God’s purpose for his life.
At the age of twenty-one, Coach Chuck found and accepted his call to preach and instruct the nations in the Word of God. He has become a noted and highly requested speaker to ministry leaders and laity and whose heartbeat is to see leaders unite to ensure that God’s plan for mankind is executed.
With a deep sincere passion for accomplishing just that, Coach Chuck has devoted himself to the time, the labor and the sacrifice required to help administer the leaders of the local church and its laity into a domain of order.
In addition to his faith based purpose, Coach Chuck has committed himself to the progression of all people from every walk of life. He uses platforms such as podcasting, one on one coaching sessions, personal development sessions, authoring, leadership clinics and speaking engagements to propel individuals and groups alike to take the next step and pursue their desired end.
Coach Chuck is an active entrepreneur where he is the Owner of S.H.E.B.A. Enterprises Inc. which serves as the umbrella for CP Hauling 42, a junk removal and dumpster rental business, Felons Ain’t Failures Podcast, a podcast aimed at inspiring Felons to “Live Life By the Advantage” and a newly converted content-creation studio (FAF Studio).
As a Man of God, Author, Coach and Speaker, Coach Chuck truly gives God the glory and attests that without God he was nothing but only through God’s Love he has been blessed to become who he is today.
BIG BRO
LOS
Carlos Price is a retired Municipality worker from the state of Florida. Following his 35 years of service, he knew he had a desire to inspire and motivate those who may not recognize their full potential.
​
The oldest of 3 siblings, he often refers to his loving Mother and hard working Father( Who passed away in 2001) for providing him with a mindset to love unconditionally. To work hard and lead by example. To stay the course and know that giving up is not an option.
​
Carlos and his wife believe in Family First and are both very involved in the lives of their grandchildren.
​
A sports fanatic and avid fisherman, he grew up playing football and made several All-Star teams in high school. He quickly realized how football was more than just a sport. It taught him life skills that he applies to his everyday life to this day. He eventually started to coach the sport which lead him to be a influential leader to many of those around him .
​
During his employment there were a number of his peers who had either been incarcerated or knew of people that had been locked up. The personal experiences that they shared with him allowed him to see their battles and struggles that they were still facing on a daily basis. He offered guidance and support and most importantly he listened to them when very few people would.
​
When his younger brother and dedicated partner on the podcast, Coach Chuck, came to him with the idea of starting Felons Ain't Failures Podcast, it was almost as if it was something he had been waiting for all of his life. The idea of what this podcast would represent made him feel like it was his calling and he was up for the challenge. He was prepared to provide a platform and voice for those who felt they would never have one.
​
To help bring awareness to topics that are many times overlooked. To hear the cries of the people and to let them know they are not in this fight alone....not anymore!!
SMURF
Darryl Andre Jones Jr., also known as “Smurf,” was born in St. Petersburg, Florida, to the late Darryl Andre Jones Sr. and the beautiful Angelia. He graduated from Pinellas Park High and went on to serve his country in the armed forces, completing a tour of duty overseas during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
​
After returning home, Smurf faced challenges readjusting to civilian life. During this difficult time, he found himself involved in the streets, which led to a life-altering moment when he was shot at close range by two .45 caliber hollow-point bullets, fired by someone he considered a friend of over 20 years. Doctors told him he would be paralyzed for the rest of his life, but through faith, determination, and an unwavering belief in God’s strength, he overcame those odds.
​
Smurf always had a passion for sports, with football holding a special place in his heart above all others. His love for the game inspired him to transition from player to mentor, coaching Little League football and making a positive impact on young lives for many years. His dedication to helping others didn’t stop there, as he later launched his health and wellness initiative, D-Moss Sea Moss, to promote health reformation and improve the lives of those in his community.
Smurf is supported by his loving family, his gorgeous wife, Chanae, and their blended family, whom bring him endless joy and strength.
