From JailHouse Noodles To Nachos To Net Profit: How I Went From Cell To Sales

By Darryl Jackson and Steven Gilliam

From Noodles to Nachos to Net Profit is a raw and inspiring true story about how one man turned a prison hustle into a six figure business and proved that even behind bars your mind can still be free.

Stevie grew up fighting to survive in the streets of St. Louis. When the system locked him up, it could have been the end of his story, but instead it became the start of his transformation. Inside those walls, surrounded by chaos, Stevie built a jailhouse store, flipping noodles, snacks, and stamps into real profit. Through that hustle, he learned about trust, loyalty, and the power of doing business the right way.

When he came home, he carried those lessons with him. He took the same grind and creativity that helped him survive in prison and turned it into a real business. What started with cook ups in a cell became a kitchen hustle that grew into a community brand built on hard work and faith.

Co authored by Darryl Jackson Jr, this book mixes real life hustle, street wisdom, and business principles that show anyone, especially those coming from struggle, how to use what they already have to build something greater.

This isn't just a story about food. It's a story about faith, resilience, and redemption. It's proof that you can start from the bottom, bet on yourself, and build your own table.

If you've ever been counted out, slept on, or told you'd never make it, this book will make you believe again.

It's time to turn your pain into purpose and your noodles into net profit.
