Nick Hadris shares his journey of resilience and helping others after prison.

This week we’re joined by Nick Hadris. Nick’s story is one of resilience, reflection, and using personal experience to help others move forward.  After spending time in prison, Nick faced the challenge of rebuilding his life and finding a new direction.
