What if one small act of kindness could change the course of someone’s life? In this episode of Because People Matter, host Dr. Helen Fagan sits down with Jeff Shafer, co-founder of CommonGood Capital and executive director of Promising People. Jeff shares his decades-long journey walking alongside incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals, from mentoring in maximum-security prisons to launching virtual reality training programs that prepare men and women for meaningful work after release. This moving conversation reminds us that redemption is possible—and that investing in people pays the greatest dividends.
