You can find the full episode &amp; show notes here:  https://growensemble.com/reduce-recidivism/ Almost 2.3 million people are in correctional facilities and 5 million formerly incarcerated people live in the United States. All too often, incarcerated people are left ill-equipped to reenter society without falling into the same conditions that contributed to their initial imprisonment: unemployment, poverty, violence, and dependency.  The unemployment rate of previously incarcerated individuals, no matter the offense, is 5x higher than the general population. The effects of incarceration expand beyond one individual as well. Seventy percent of children who have incarcerated parents end up “in the system” and develop criminal records themselves as well.  Defy Ventures is making a difference by prioritizing sustainable solutions for ex-criminals through the lens of entrepreneurship.  By working with prisoners prior to their release and providing intentional programming that sets them up for success in the workforce, Defy Ventures is lowering the recidivism rate and giving the formerly incarcerated population the tools they need to break the cycle of imprisonment. In our Episode with Andrew, we discuss:   The causes of recidivism and the systemic issues behind mass incarceration How Defy Ventures is helping to reduce recidivism through education programs, employment, and giving access to resources  Links from the Episode:  Defy Ventures on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram  Connect with Grow Ensemble on Social:   YouTube Twitter LinkedIn

Andrew Glazier -- Defy Ventures

In our first Summer episode, Andrew explains how his MBA helped him adapt quickly to his then new role as CEO under tenuous circumstances. He explains how entrepreneurship and business can serve as rehabilitative programming as a solution to solving prison recidivism. He also discusses his role as Vice President on the board of LA Fire Commission in the time of climate change.

In his early years, Andrew Glazier ’97 had hopes of making a difference by running for office. After five years of working with local and state government, he decided to focus instead on working with nonprofits in industries that intersect with government. In this episode, Glazier discusses why the 1992 L.A. Riots were a seminal moment in his life, and tells us about his journey to become the national president and CEO of Defy Ventures, a nonprofit that provides entrepreneurship, employment and character development training to currently and formerly incarcerated men and women.

Backstories: Andrew Glazier '97

See Full Show Notes here: https://growensemble.com/defy-ventures-andrew-glazier/ Andrew Glazier is the CEO and president of Defy Ventures, a national nonprofit focused on entrepreneurship employment and personal development for formerly and currently incarcerated men, women, and young adults. Founded in 2010, Defy has made significant process in this arena. They are now operating programs in seven states. They have enrolled over 5,000 entrepreneurs in training in prison and in their post-release program. They have engaged thousands of volunteers. As a result of this work, their one-year recidivism rate is 7.2% as compared to the national average of 30%, and they are proud to say that their employment rate for program graduates is at 82%. This movement is all about mindset shift. Engaging the business community is key, as successful reentry into the workforce requires open-minded employers, who are willing to see a person’s value before dismissing them as a candidate because they have been in the system. Potential employers need to be willing to open their minds to this idea. However, it also requires a mindset shift on the formerly incarcerated person, as they need to recognize their own value and their own worth as a potential employee in order to communicate their value to others. That is the primary topic of this episode. In addition, we chat about the issues of recidivism and mass incarceration, entrepreneurship as a rehabilitative tool, and the role the business community has in addressing these issues for this significantly sized and overlooked population.
