1 - Speaking in Prisons

In our introductory episode, I share how and why I started speaking in prisons. We'll explore what it was leading up to my first interaction with inmates, their response to my message and how my perception of prisons and inmates is evolving realtime. This is the first of many glimpses into my world of working with inmates and speaking professionally in prisons.
