In this powerful and engaging episode of Talking Second Chances, hosts Mandy Philyaw and Jeremy B. White sit down with second chance employer Focus Freight to explore how opportunity and purpose can transform lives.

CEO Quania Johnson shares how launching her woman-owned trucking company was inspired by a deeply personal mission to help her nephew secure employment after returning home from prison. She’s since built a business committed to opening doors for others seeking a fresh start.

Joining the conversation is Justin Mills, who brings a remarkable story of resilience and success. After spending more than 20 years incarcerated, Justin turned a second chance into a thriving career in trucking earning six figures within a year of release. Now the owner of Mills Logistics, he’s committed to helping others follow a similar path by creating opportunities for justice-involved individuals.

This episode is a candid, inspiring, and often fun conversation about redemption, entrepreneurship, and the real impact of second chance employment in Tennessee.
