À propos de cet audio
Nick Marshall was not exactly your average twenty-one-year-old from New Jersey. After serving three years in prison for armed robbery, he was still fairly young upon his release, but wondered what kind of life he could lead as an ex-con. Aware of the immense time and effort it would take to fulfill such a dream, he gave up his safety net and took his place at the bottom of the totem pole in the hospitality industry.
What Nick did not expect was for a series of jobs in bars and restaurants to catapult him into the exciting yet treacherous world of New York City nightlife. Before he knew it, he was a power player who had it all—or so he thought. He began to question if trips to Saint-Tropez, infinite freebies, and celebrity-like treatment were enough to let the dream that started it all take a backseat. Yet again, he found himself ready to make a major sacrifice.
Try Again: An Ex-Con's Path from Prison to Prosperity is the inspirational story of one man's climb back into society as the woes of post-prison life kept kicking him down. It is a recount of the lessons he learned—how being blinded by the limelight cost him everything he worked so hard for, as well as his mental health and stability. Try Again won't just speak to the formerly incarcerated; it is for anyone looking to start anew when it feels utterly impossible.

Raw, Unflinching, Rock Bottom to Redemption
Nick Marshall's "Try Again" isn't just a memoir—it's a masterclass in human resilience that will leave you breathless. From the opening scene in Saint-Tropez's glittering excess to the brutal reality of Bergen County Jail, Marshall crafts a narrative so visceral and honest that you can't look away.
What I Loved: The writing is cinematic and unflinching. Marshall doesn't ask for sympathy, he earns your respect through brutal honesty about his mistakes and the systemic challenges that follow former inmates. His journey from armed robbery to the heights of NYC nightlife managing celebrities reads like a fever dream, but it's all devastatingly real.
What Others Will Learn: This book shatters every stereotype about "ex-cons." You'll discover how the prison system actually works (spoiler: it doesn't), the hidden world of elite nightlife, and most importantly, that redemption is possible even when society has written you off. Marshall's insights into mental health, addiction, and the crushing weight of debt will resonate with anyone who's ever felt trapped by their circumstances.
Format and Value: I read the book and loved the audio experience. At nearly 300 pages, this memoir moves like a thriller. Each chapter builds momentum, from the claustrophobic prison scenes to the intoxicating world of celebrity culture. The dialogue crackles with authenticity, and Marshall's eye for detail makes every scene come alive. This isn't just entertainment, it's education about resilience, second chances, and the American dream deferred but not defeated.
Personal Connection: As someone who has faced my own professional setbacks, Marshall's ability to rebuild repeatedly struck a deep chord. His relationship with Hope (literally and metaphorically) reminds us that even in our darkest moments, something inside us fights to survive. The scene where he realizes he's become a "nobody" in the nightlife world he once dominated, that's a feeling many of us know too well.
Call to Action: READ and LISTEN TO THIS BOOK. Then tell everyone you know to read it. If you've ever failed, fallen, or felt forgotten, Marshall's story will remind you that your past doesn't dictate your future. If you think you understand the criminal justice system or addiction or what it really takes to rebuild a life, think again. This book will change your perspective on second chances and the extraordinary courage it takes to keep trying.
