The Hard Way With Joe De Sena

How One Officer Turns Showers Into Second Chances


Listen Later

In this episode, Joe De Sena sits down with Matt Prouty, a police officer showing what real community leadership looks like. When Matt Prouty saw addiction and homelessness destroying his community, he didn't wait for policy—he built a street team, set up shower programs, and met people where they were. No excuses. No red tape. Just real action. This is a raw, inspiring look at what happens when one person steps up and leads from the front. Watch now—and ask yourself: where could you step up in your own community?
