What if everything we think we know about crime prevention is wrong? In this powerful episode, we sit down with two grassroots leaders who’ve been directly impacted by the justice system—and are now leading a movement to change it from the inside out.
They share why most public safety strategies fail, how "credible messengers" are reshaping violence prevention, and why innovation in this space starts with courage, not credentials. From AI tools that simplify expungement to data-driven storytelling that finally gives grassroots organizations a seat at the table, this conversation is a masterclass in what real impact looks like.
If you’ve ever wondered why violence persists despite endless policies, or how real change actually happens in underserved communities, this episode will flip your perspective.
We cover:
Why lived experience is the most valuable qualification in public safety
How grassroots organizations are rewriting the rules on data and outcomes
What ecosystem building really means—and why nonprofits get it wrong
The difference between innovation and invention in justice reform
How AI, reentry tools, and collaborative leadership are shifting the narrative
