What changes when you stop looking at someone for what they’ve done—and start asking who they are?
Marc sits down with Diane Kahn, founder of Humans of San Quentin, who has interviewed more than 3,000 incarcerated individuals around the world. Diane shares how a single question—“How are you?”—can break open years of silence, shame, and survival.

This episode challenges assumptions, expands empathy, and reveals the healing power of being seen.
