We’d love to hear from you! Every year, we ask the Life After Prison audience to complete a short survey. Your answers help us understand what’s working, what we can improve, and they also help us show our funders the real impact of the show. It only takes a few minutes and your feedback really does make a difference.
In this brand new series, Cellmate to CEO, Tony Supreme, CEO of Soul Surge Wellness, who has lived experience of the criminal justice system himself, talks to other CEO’s, leaders and changemakers about their transition from prison to leadership.
In this episode Tony chats to Life After Prison’s very own Zak. They discuss Zak’s multiple run-ins with the law which started as a teenager, and subsequent prison sentences. Zak shares the changes he made during his third and final sentence, difficulty finding work after prison, and his progression into leadership and starting his own organisation, X Conversation.
