Meet Ryan Hargrave. Ryan is a friend of the club and a frequent guest at our live showcases. A few years ago, Ryan was working at an insurance start-up in the Boston area. He created a podcast called People After the Hustle (PATH) to share the stories of formerly incarcerated folks and their journeys from prison back to society. Ryan has since relocated to Brooklyn where he's loving life. He's got a new gig , living in a new city and enjoying every second of it.
