Thom Clark, all I can say is “Thank You” for exploring this issues in such a sensitive way. I admire your interview skills and the down to earth way you talked with the guests. I will contact you once I return from South Carolina where I am presenting a workshop entitled “E”…a Second Chance: a new start after life mistakes. E stands for entrepreneurship. A colleague just sent me a book that is published by John Jay College of Criminal Justice that explores ‘facilitating successful reentry with entrepreneurship. I am absolutely delighted that others are getting behind this concept. I am not feeling so alone now. Thanks again, Thom, for sharing this program with me. I will also contact the guests to determine how I may be of assistance.
