Wallace “Wallo267” Peeples spent twenty years in and out of the prison system before restarting his life and catapulting himself to unforeseen levels of social impact, cultural influence, and success. Now he shares his story with the trademark honesty that’s made him an inspiration to those who need it most. Named after his well-respected father who disappeared when he was two, Wallo grew up in North Philadelphia with his mom, brothers, and grandmother, feeling pressure to achieve the success and reputation his father had on the streets.
Spending time in and out of juvenile detention centers, school psychologists and counselors labeled him “criminal-minded” and his luck on the streets involving petty crimes would soon run out. After his involvement in an armed robbery, Wallo was arrested and received a prison sentence of nineteen to fifty-two years. Upon serving twenty years of his sentence, Wallo was released and returned home to Philadelphia.
This memoir traces the journey from Wallo’s youth and incarceration to his incredible success. In his time spent in prison, Wallo came to understand that he was armed with the wrong intentions despite great potential via a lack of guidance and proper mindset. With this understanding, he reckoned with the choices that put him there, accepted responsibility for his own actions, and vowed to arm himself with only good intentions upon his release.
Wallo’s reflection and new-found philosophy—which he now shares with you—informed the new trajectory of his life. On the day of his release, Wallo moved back to Philly and started on a new frontier of entrepreneurialism. Armed with vigor and intention, his viral motivational content gained Wallo over sixty-thousand Instagram followers on his first day of freedom.
This would prove to only be the start of his continuously growing career utilizing his social influence as a motivational speaker, entrepreneur, and cultural changemaker. In Armed with Good Intentions, Wallo shares his hardships and triumphs and personal philosophy with his widest audience yet. Wallo spins his story of despair and tragedy into sage wisdom, inspiring anyone who is looking for the motivation to revise how they see the obstacles in their own lives.

Can’t wait to read it
I got mine Thursday, it's an excellent book. Ordering another one for a friend.
Y’all gotta understand.. being from north Philly this type of thing just never seemed possible so I’m proud of him just making it happen. So proud I’m not done but the book is very good so far💪🏾
I didn't even get to read it yet but I know it's good.
I have ADTBR (Attention deficit to book reading). Lol 😄 Of course I made this diagnosis up. If a book doesn't capture me in the first few pages, it's a wrap. I may or may not pick it back up. Well, I have to say Armed With Good Intentions is a must keep reading type of book. I feel right there with the storyline and imagine every description Wallo so honestly writes about. I love the innocence of this book because its coming from a real intentional place. You can feel the freedom in the words and his passion for the reader to "get it." Thank you Wallo for sharing your story. Photo: Philly book signing.
Great book plz read and audiobook is available
I ordered mine the day it came out. Read it in 3 days and ordered two more copies for friends! Must read! Very genuine story of Wallo’s humbled beginnings and the drive and perseverance to get to where he is today. Anyone could apply this to their own life! Thank you Wallo!!
I saw Mr. Peeples on The Beat with Ari Melber on MSNBC promoting this book. I bought it with the intention of sharing it with my 21 year old son for us to both read together. Well I got it the day it dropped on Amazon and read it in just two days. It’s transformative and powerful, but most of all hopeful during a time when we all feel anxious and uncertain. Thank you @Wallo267 for sharing your light with all of us. And thank you for sharing your story in a medium where I could find you. (My son already knew who you were and your podcasts 😊). 🙏🙏
