Tom Papania

Wise guy... Good fellow... Mobster... Enforcer Mafiosa... GangsterThese are all names that at one time described Tom Papania from an abused New York street punk of 15 years of age until 1984.  Tom's main goal in life was to make Al Capone look like an amateurTom worked his way up in organized crime to a trusted position in the New York Gambino organized crime family.   Tom answered directly to the now deceased Paul Castellano.   Tom wielded fear, terror, and brutality to control the New York mob's expanding interests.   Bomb threats to contracts on Tom's life couldn't stop the hell bound course crime had put him on.On a road to Damascus experience, Tom Papania surrendered his life to Christ.  Tom's past caught up with him and he was sent to the Atlanta federal penitentiary to await trial.   The trial was one of Atlanta's longest, lasting 11 months.  God used the maximum security cells of the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary to mold and develop Tom's new Christ-like character.After almost a year, Tom was set free by the Grace of God.   Tom continued in his commitment to Christ and is now an ordained evangelist and executive director of God's Saving Grace Ministries.   Tom now goes back into the prisons with the power of the holy spirit, truly setting captives free.http://www.tompapania.com/https//www.hightechprayerbreakfast.org

I launched one of the most impactful apps in the Apple App Store and Android Google Play stores...Flikshop. Flikshop keeps families that suffer from incarceration connected. Our users can take a photo, add some quick text, and for $0.99 Flikshop prints the photo and text on a real tangible postcard and ships it directly to any person in any jail, prison, youth facility or immigration facility. In 1996 I was arrested and faced LIFE in prison. I was 15 years old and ended up getting sentenced to serve 8 years in adult prisons throughout the State of Virginia.Because of my experience, I learned how important mail is to the 2.3 million men and women in prison and ended up creating a business that helps keep each of them connected to their families. After the success of the Flikshop mobile app I went on to create the Flikshop School of Business to assist in building reentry eco-systems for men and women released from prison that center around entrepreneurship, coding, and mobile app development. Our award-winning and program has won: 2015 Innovator of the Year (The Daily Record) and 2016 Aspen Ideas Festival Award (Booz Allen Hamilton). I sit on the board of directors of Justice Policy Institute and the advisory board for The Aspen Institute's Opportunity Youth Incentive Fund. My other specialties include team building and business development training. AUDACIOUS. INTEGRITY. BE BETTER. I encourage you to watch my TEDx Talk "The Prison to Entrepreneurship Pipeline" to learn more about my journey.
