Ricky Donnell "Freeway Ricky" Ross is an American author and former drug lord best known for the drug empire he established in Los Angeles, California, in the early to mid 1980s. He was sentenced to life in prison, though the sentence was shortened on appeal and Ross was released in 2009. During podcast appearances on programs such as The Joe Rogan Experience and The Jordan Harbinger Show, Ross reflected on the literature that transformed his mindset while incarcerated and discussed investigative journalism surrounding his past. He recommended Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich, George S. Clason's The Richest Man in Babylon, and James Allen's As a Man Thinketh as his favorite books that helped open his eyes, shape his financial principles, and realize his potential while serving time in prison. In addition to these self-help classics, Ross discussed Gary Webb's investigative book Dark Alliance, noting that Webb featured his historical drug enterprise and pointing out that a popular phrase used in the book originated from his own life experiences. He also briefly mentioned Michael C. Ruppert's book Crossing the Rubicon during conversations about his turbulent past.
