-- Owen Hanson, the professional athlete who once ran an international drug trafficking operation and subsequently spent time in prison, has announced a website to document his transformation and serve as a resource hub for those pursuing personal change.
The platform is live at https://owen-hanson.com
The website consolidates Hanson's current projects, including his memoir, The California Kid; the Amazon Prime documentary series Cocaine Quarterback; California Ice Protein, a nutrition company founded during his incarceration; and the "No Excuses" course, which offers strategies for people seeking to alter their circumstances. Visitors can also access a blog, merchandise, and links to Hanson's social media accounts.
Hanson's story has drawn national media attention since 2015, and his case has been profiled by outlets including Rolling Stone, VICE, and the Los Angeles Times. While enrolled at USC during the program's championship years, he transitioned from student-athlete to involvement in gambling and loan sharking. These activities escalated into a drug trafficking operation linked to a Mexican cartel, and federal agents later dismantled the enterprise, resulting in Hanson's 21-year prison sentence.
Among the website's featured offerings is Hanson's memoir, The California Kid, which recounts his upbringing in Redondo Beach, his time at USC, and the criminal decisions that led to his arrest. Additionally, the documentary Cocaine Quarterback provides a three-part examination of his rise and fall, incorporating FBI evidence and first-hand accounts from those involved in the case.
California Ice Protein, a startup business created with a makeshift formula while Hanson was incarcerated, represents his effort to build a legitimate enterprise after release, while the "No Excuses" course and community further extend his message of accountability and personal growth.
A representative for the platform explained its purpose: "Owen and the team provide strategies so you can learn from rock bottom without having to hit it yourself. The focus is on taking responsibility and moving forward without making excuses for where you are or where you've been."
Hanson now focuses on sharing his story of transformation and continues to expand initiatives aimed at helping others overcome adversity and create sustainable change.
