The U.S. has the highest prison and jail population in the world, with over two million people serving time in one of the country's correctional facilities. Each year, more than 600,000 people are released from state and federal prisons. These people are often unprepared to overcome the many obstacles they will soon face. During their time in prison, they may have cut contact with friends and family who could have otherwise supported them. Once they’re out, their criminal record also makes it extremely challenging to find a job and housing.
This week's guest is Bryan Kelley, CEO of the Prison Entrepreneurship Program (PEP). PEP is an organization that connects inmates with executives, entrepreneurs, and MBA students to teach them valuable business skills. Bryan himself spent 22 years in prison and has lived through the struggles of starting again. Listen to Bryan's compelling story of redemption and personal transformation, a journey that led him to changing the lives of current and former inmates who need a second chance.
