Ed Kressy - Second chances

Ed's memoir, called My Addiction & Recovery – Just Because You’re Done With the Drugs, Doesn’t Mean Drugs are Done with You.  It is available at: https://www.edkressy.com or Amazon. Ten percent of profits go to Defy Ventures, a nonprofit providing entrepreneur and employment training to currently and formerly incarcerated men and women (Ed graduated from Defy’s program).

Ed is a motivational speaker, has appeared on stage at the Moth, and for Cisco, Google and LinkedIn. He volunteers inside maximum security prisons and jails, helping incarcerated persons develop skills for employment, and entrepreneurism, and self advocacy. He volunteers for law enforcement, helping them better serve communities affected by incarceration and addiction. 

Next week's episode, November 8th, is with Tarek Mounib, creator of the documentary film, Free Trip to Egypt which he created in response to the anti-Arab, anti-Islam policies following the 2016 US election. We'll be speaking the day after the  US Election in 2020.
