At age 16, David Heppard was sentenced to life in prison.

He served 24 years.

Today, he’s the co-founder of The Black Rose Collective, helping others heal and reenter society with dignity.

In this powerful episode of UnLost Cause, David shares how a single act of empathy shattered a lifetime of shame, how he rebuilt himself from the inside out, and how he’s using that journey to uplift others.

🔹 Learn how healing—not punishment—creates real change
🔹 Why David lived every day like he was getting out tomorrow
🔹 What the “8-hour bricklaying” philosophy can teach us all
🔹 And how you can help support reentry and justice work in your community

If you’ve ever felt like it’s too late to start over, or that you don’t deserve a second chance — this is the conversation you didn’t know you needed.
