In this powerful episode of SoulSparks, host Saima sits down with Chancellor K. Jackson—author, educator, football coach, and entrepreneur—to discuss his journey of transformation and resilience. Chancellor’s life took a dramatic turn when he was arrested and detained in Beijing for 14 days, an experience that reshaped his perspective and led him to write Fourteen Days in Beijing, a book that became an Amazon #1 bestseller multiple times.
