Fuquan Lide

Fayetteville, North Carolina

Fuquan Lide spent 26 years cycling in and out of the prison system. While incarcerated, he discovered financial literacy. After reentry, he applied those principles relentlessly and built a $1.2M real estate portfolio.

He wrote "From Cell Blocks to Stock Blocks" because nobody else was going to write it the way it needed to be written. Not from a classroom. Not from a podcast studio. From lived experience.

This book is for anyone who's been counted out and is ready to count up. This is your permission slip to build wealth, rebuild your life, and claim your redemption.
