When people talk about this workforce being untapped, there's lots of places that cite this statistic, but I'm going to cite one from the FBI, and the FBI says that about 70 million adults in this country have some sort of criminal record, which is about one in three and a half adults in this country have a criminal record.
Imagine hitting rock bottom, losing everything, and then finding the strength to rebuild your life. That's exactly what Ty Reed did. In this episode of the Landmark Recovery Podcast, host Zach Crouch chats with Ty about his incredible journey from being a top salesperson at a Fortune 500 company to battling meth addiction and homelessness on the streets of Seattle.
Now, Ty is not just a survivor but a beacon of hope, offering career coaching through his nonprofit, Recovery Career Services. They dive into the importance of second-chance employment for those recovering from addiction and with criminal records, breaking down the stigmas that often stand in their way. Ty shares how employers can foster a compassionate and mental health-conscious work environment, making it easier for people to reintegrate into society.
He also touches on imposter syndrome and the vital role of forgiveness in recovery. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the transformative power of empathy and second chances.
