When Adventure Becomes Bondage: Kyle Matthews' Story

from People Of Distinction · host Al Cole

What happens when a childhood dream becomes a 30-year nightmare? Kyle J. Matthews survived the brutal reality of modern-day slavery on the high seas—a world where the line between normal and inhumane blurred beyond recognition. In this raw, unforgettable conversation, Kyle opens up about his harrowing journey from fishing boats to breaking free from chains most of us never see. This isn't just survival—it's redemption, forgiveness, and the power of keeping a good heart even when the world tries to crush it.Get "The Sea Slave: A True Story" on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or at authorkylematthews.com
