Interview With 70 Million Jobs - The First For-Profit Employment Platform For Formerly Incarcerated
4 years ago

Hi Andrew, thanks for the question. You're right, hiring has significantly slowed. However, my team and I are dedicated to providing as much value as we can during this difficult time. One project we're working on--in partnership with a well-known reentry legal nonprofit--is launching a community support initiative that will provide critical information to justice-involved individuals and their families (e.g., unemployment information, health & safety tips, worker's rights, and career advancement tools and resources). As for hiring, while most industries have slowed, we are seeing massive growth in hiring for essential businesses -- these clients/areas are our focus for the time being.

Hi Barry, I think it’s fair to say that it was a pretty dark time, when I was convicted and knew I was headed to prison. I was deeply ashamed by my behavior, and hated what the pursuit of money did to me. Giving it all away seemed like the only right thing to do. (I had also paid everyone back who I hurt.) That was in 2002, and I had no idea what the future would bring. I didn’t launch 70 Million Jobs until 2016
