Experts by Experience

In this episode of Experts by Experience, Nic sits down with Jacob Hill, founder of Offploy – a social enterprise supporting both employers and people with criminal convictions.

Jacob shares his powerful journey through the criminal justice system, the inspiring individuals he met along the way, and how his entrepreneurial spirit led him to create a business that opens doors to employment for those often left behind.
