An arson fire wiped out Dub and his partner's combination chicken 'n waffles and recording studio in 2012. So he reopened in 2018 to 5-star reviews and they restarted their hip-hop group proving life couldn't keep him down. But as a youth, he made mistakes and ended up in the Oregon corrections system. Because of his grandmother's knack for cooking and Dub's interest in helping, he began cooking for the prison where he was located. That eventually turned into a catering gig that was incredibly p...

Busted for the second time for distribution of cocaine the very first day of the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles, Sean couldn’t have picked a worse time to enter LA County jail.

#6 Modern Day Medicine Woman - Meg Worden

And here’s the word of the day everyone: Destigmatization. So what does that mean?!? For Meg Worden, it’s understanding and dealing with addiction without judgement and having to find fault. Addiction put her behind bars as a single mother, addiction that was an attempt to fill the voids in her life. But after doing her time, she put herself back in the driver’s seat of her life and has taken her experience and packaged it. She now mentors incarcerated women to take their “anti-establishment” at...

#5 From Prison To Purpose - Garrett Guinn, Documentary Filmmaker of Perception

Working on the documentary changed the way Garrett and the entire video crew completely changed their way of looking at “ex-cons”. They realized they could change lives if they could capture the rehabilitation that was going on at institutions such as the MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility, where activities such as yoga, beading and other subjects were offered to ease youth into a vision of entering into mainstream society rather than being warehoused. Garrett was director and editor of the do...

#4 The Marine, the Artist and the Philanthropist - James Garrick

Along with his wife Alecia, they work every day to overcome the stigma of being a victim and understanding that he left a victim behind. Coming from 20 years plus behind bars for murder, James and Alecia have come to grips with his abusive childhood, stress of being a Marine in the Vietnam era and not using that as an excuse to “act out”. This has allowed them not only to discover the artist inside James and for the both of them to start their refuge for young adults out in the hills of beautifu...

#3 Author & Possible Zombie - Todd Brown

Beginning with the idea of creating audio books in prison, Todd pivoted to writing books instead and found an almost instant following for his “Dead” book series, an almost cult following for the Zombie crowd. Saying he went to the “Gene Simmons School of Business”, Todd is a natural born promotor who leverages his book sales (over 30 now) with T-shirts, coffee mugs and posters. Todd and wife work hand-in-hand in their business and have gone through the tough times to success together. Felony In...

#2 Perception to Purpose - Noah Schultz, Forgotten Culture Clothing

An inspirational speaker and co-founder of a clothing company with an edge, Noah Schultz was the perfect example of child diagnosis gone bad. Moving to a tough neighborhood made him act up in school so he was told he had ADD and given pharmaceuticals. Selling drugs at 12, he went down the rabbit hole of crime and went to prison young. But he also came out young and with a completely new attitude. Noah speaks to youth tirelessly, motivating them to stay hopeful and clean and encouraging them to w...
