In part 1 of today's episode we are joined by Leon Benson who was recently exonerated after 25 years in prison for a murder he didn't commit. Leon is a creative through and through and his time behind bars has unlocked an incredibly unique and wise outlook on the world and art. We learn about his evolution as an artist, from sculpting and comic book drawings to spoken word, all shaped by his experiences.  By the end of our insightful conversation with Leon, we hope to leave you with a renewed appreciation for the power of creativity and an understanding of its importance in unlikely circumstances. Tune in for a conversation that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the beauty that can be found in unexpected places.
