Good Things Presents: When It Clicked - From the Streets to the Boardroom
Manage episode 466766338 series 2985330
What happens when the criminal justice system invests in education instead of punishment? Larry Miller is the Chairman of the Jordan Brand Advisory Board and played a pivotal role in the brand’s growth. Yet behind his success was a secret – at age 16, he was convicted of second degree murder, which he shares in his book, “Jump: My Secret Journey from the Streets to the Boardroom.” For Larry, it was education in prison that changed his life's trajectory, giving him the chance to earn a college degree, build a successful career, and challenge assumptions about what formerly incarcerated people can achieve.
To learn more about Larry's story, check out his book, Jump: My Secret Journey from the Streets to the Boardroom
