About this listen

Larry Miller, chairman of the advisory board for Nike’s Jordan Brand, shares how he went from being a smart kid in West Philly to joining a gang, killing a teen at 16, and serving time for murder and later armed robberies. In prison, he earned his GED, entered a college program, got an associate’s degree, then finished a Temple University accounting degree and built a decades-long career while keeping his record private after losing a job offer when he disclosed it. Encouraged by his daughter, he finally told his story in a book, which ended his nightmares and migraines, and he received support from Phil Knight and Michael Jordan. He now leads JUMP (Justice and Upward Mobility Project) to reduce recidivism through education, apprenticeships with NBA teams, and partnerships like the Players Coalition, while highlighting second-chance hiring successes at companies such as Lowe’s and JPMorgan Chase.
