The Backside Poddy

This week on The Backside Poddy, we sit down with Oscar Sullivan, Head of Programs at Traction, a not-for-profit helping young people who've lost their way find a new path forward.

Oscar takes us behind the scenes of Traction: why it was founded, how it's funded, and the incredible return every donated dollar delivers. He also shares some of his favourite stories of young people who went on to achieve things they never thought possible. Inspiring stuff.
