Business with Purpose & Feeding Halifax: Featuring Ryland Clark of Hitachi Energy
In our latest segment of Ten Minutes of Truth, we had the privilege of sitting down with Ryland Clark, Community Relations & Engagement Manager at Hitachi Energy, South Boston, VA, and a member of the Halifax County Industrial Development Board.
We had no idea just how deeply Ryland—and Hitachi as a whole—were touching lives across Halifax County. From supporting recovery and re-entry efforts to feeding food-insecure families through Feeding Halifax, their quiet but powerful impact runs deep.
In this short segment, Ryland shares what he’s learned from the Engaging Halifax Study and speaks to the vital role businesses can play in helping individuals rebuild their lives after substance use or incarceration. He also explains how the Industrial Development Board is creating job pathways for returning citizens, turning compassion into economic opportunity.
And here’s the thing: Ryland stayed an extra 30 minutes after our official interview—because there was more to say. More stories. More heart. More hope. Shawn felt it was too important to miss and recorded a second segment that will move you and challenge you to see the power of partnership.
Shawn shared, “This is exactly how Ten Minutes of Truth can stand beside leaders like Ryland and organizations like Hitachi—by lending our platform to help feed Halifax and support second chances.”

Listen to this short segment today on Ten Minutes of Truth with Shawn A. Barksdale, available on all major podcast platforms and on Facebook at Ten Minutes of Truth and Boots On The Ground.
Let’s stand together—for recovery, for second chances, and for a Halifax where no one is forgotten.
