The title of this episode is aptly named for guest Aron Roy.  Like many justice-impacted individuals, Aron's journey means digging down deep to find the grit to transform and not return to their past life.  But Aron also has the courage to share what sent him to prison for almost a decade and the transformation that took place during those years.  Aron’s story is semi-unique in that he entered prison with a Bachelor’s Degree.  As Aron fully admits, he was a functioning addict, until he wasn’t.  His experience in the California prison system is eye-opening to hear about, but even more so was his realization that his future job prospects would be, at best, minimal.  Aron’s ‘ah-ha’ moment was profound, and a guiding light on his road to reentry.
