Ian Bick is an entrepreneur, storyteller, and host of the hit podcast Locked In with Ian Bick, where he explores real stories of incarceration, redemption, and the human capacity for change. His content has reached hundreds of millions of viewers across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and Spotify.
At 18, Ian became one of the youngest nightclub owners in the country, hosting artists such as Steve Aoki, The Chainsmokers, and 21 Savage. But the rapid success came with high pressure, debt, and a gambling addiction that led him to make destructive choices. At 21, he was convicted of federal wire fraud and served three years in prison.
When he was released at 24, Ian didn’t return to nightlife or social media. He worked regular jobs for nearly three years, rebuilding quietly and focusing on accountability, mental health, and repairing relationships. During this time, he learned firsthand what reentry really looks like: the stigma, the doubt, the slow climb back.
But Ian also knew his story — and the stories of so many others — needed to be told. He began sharing lessons from his past on TikTok, and the response was immediate and overwhelming. In January 2023, he launched Locked In with Ian Bick, a podcast that gives a platform to former inmates, law enforcement, attorneys, survivors, and others whose lives intersect with the criminal justice system.
Today, the show has become one of the fastest-growing justice-focused podcasts in the country, known for its raw honesty, emotional depth, and willingness to go where most media won’t.
