The Keys to Your Cage: 

Break the Cycle, Build Your Wealth, and Walk Out of Your Own Prison

I was sentenced to 85 years in federal prison. That’s not a metaphor — that’s a number they read out loud in a courtroom while I stood there realizing my life was over. I served nearly 15 hard years. Then, against all odds, I got out.

This book isn’t my victory lap. It’s my repayment. Most of you aren’t behind steel — but you are caged. Debt. Fear. Bad relationships. Bad health. Bad environments. Bad beliefs. I’m here to hand you the keys.


Mindset is the foundation. Money is the multiplier.

"Mark Shapiro is both my most successful and my most disappointing student. He took the lessons in Nothing Down further than any of my millions of readers, into billions of dollars in real estate, and then into 85 years in federal prison. This book is the system he came back with. It's both practicable and profound."

​

— Robert G. Allen, author of #1 New York Times bestseller Nothing Down
