This episode is an absolute listen.
Concordance Academy is a non profit organization in St. Louis, Missouri. Their mission is to dramatically reduce reincarceration rates by precisely executing holistic, integrated, evidence-informed re-entry program.
I had the opportunity to interview Danny Ludeman, CEO and President of Concordance Academy. He was the CEO and President of Wells Fargo Advisors, top 3 brokerage in America. He now has dedicated his life to this full time work of changing the lives of these citizens through prison reform.
Recently they have embarked on a $50 million campaign. The First Chance Campaign will raise funds to allow them to expand their program to 11 additional cities in the next 5 years.
He highlights 3 major points
1. Purpose behind Concordance Academy
2. What they did to lower the reincarceration rate among their participants in St. Louis by 44%
3. What they plan on doing for the future of America.
This is a very impactful episode. You should take the time on all of this.
