For this episode I interview Emily O'Brien, the Founder and Creative Director of Comeback Snacks - a gourmet popcorn company Emily started in federal prison.
Comeback Snacks provides reintegration opportunities and second chances for people who have difficulty finding meaningful employment opportunities when they are released from prison. Today we talk about Emily's journey from her arrest and her time incarcerated, through her entrepreneurial journey and success in developing her business. Emily sought every opportunity to grow and learn during her time incarcerated, and understands the opportunities isolation, freedom from social media, and time with yourself can provide. Tune in for her insights on isolation, coping during uncertainty and the anatomy of a comeback! And visit https://comebacksnacks.com/ to track down her awesome popcorn!
