John Quick sits down with Ben McBride, CEO, and Co-founder of the Empower Initiative. Ben talks about moving his family into what is called "The Kill Zone" in Oakland, why he got started in community work, being a part of a Sundance Award Winning Documentary, and all the things in between.  McBride's method is of the Peacemaker and you can see that throughout his work. You will not want to miss out on this one.
