Sometimes It's hard to unlock that chain.

In 2013, two lives came together that would set the course that neither party expected. 'A Nation of Hope' Co-founders, Michael and Natasha L. Fuller, both serve populations learning how to cope with the readjustment within a community filled with barriers and unforeseen challenges.

They are my guests today on a 'Special Edition' of 'The Bow Knows Who Is Changing the World'. Michael and Natasha certainly are changing the world.

Many individuals they encountered were finding themselves lost in the folds of survival, attempting to find purpose, and healing from the aftermath of their past. These individuals had experiences spanning from substance use, displacement from homes, joblessness, gang involvement, separation, and lack of family support. It didn't stop there, however.

Realization collided with the founders based on their own life experiences. This revelation has led them on this unplanned journey to reach others by providing services to help unlock opportunities for self-preservation and growth. ​

This is a journey to build up a nation ready to defeat poverty...mentally and economically.

This podcast delves deep into what happens incarceration, confinement, and life behind bars. Join us as we explore the correctional system after the fact, from the walls of the penitentiary and outward. We uncover the harsh realities faced by those in custody and shine a light on the challenges and triumphs of life after incarceration. We navigate the complex journey of reformation, examining the role of correctional facilities, remand centers, and correctional institutions in rehabilitating individuals.

With a compelling story and firsthand account, we provide unique insights into the struggles, transformations, and redemption that can emerge from the depths of the cellblock. Join us on this eye-opening exploration as we strive to understand the complexities of life within and beyond the correctional center.

Riveting, to say the least. Wait until you hear the opening line!

Local Government That Works.

 Do your City and Town get along? Are they at odds over what seems to you like trivial things? 

None of that goes on between the Town of Plattsburgh, NY and the City of Plattsburgh, NY - in the Northeast corner of New York State near the Canadian Border. 

These two Municipalities have been holding regular meetings for over a year, discussing how they can mutually benefit each other, and the entire region.   ..and it's working! 

I sat down with Town of Plattsburgh NY Supervisor Michael Cashman and City of Plattsburgh NY Mayor Christopher Rosenquest to talk about just how the constant communication and action has helped to benefit the entire Plattsburgh NY region.  

Plattsburgh has a famous Food Item - It's called a 'Michigan'.

The Best Way to Tell your Story is..

However you feel comfortable doing it.

Let me Explain.

This was previously LIVE on May 5, 2022 around 12 Noon Eastern.

The Story of Curtis Brooks

 Curtis Brooks has been on the A&E Program: #kidsbehindbars  

 He was incarcerated at age 15.  

On April 10, 1995 in Aurora, Colorado, 15-year-old Curtis Brooks was one of four teenagers involved in the death of Christopher Ramos as they tried to steal his car. As a result, Curtis was sentenced to life in prison without parole.  

After 23 years in jail, Curtis was granted a resentencing. He spent a total of 24 years behind bars. This happened because the US Supreme Court ruled that it is unconstitutional to hand out such lengthy sentences to juveniles convicted of murder.  Curtis did not fire the shot that took the life of the boy.   There are all kinds of nuances associated with his case, readily available on the Internet. 

The subject of this interview is to show what Curtis' life is like after Prison.  

Curtis Brooks has done well for himself. Since being released on July 1, 2019, he lives in New York State's Capital District, is now married, has bought his first house, and is now in Sales.   This is his story, as told by Curtis himself.  This has an emphasis on what he considers to be his mission in life. I think you'll find it heartwarming. He really has the right attitude.  

This is a special edition of 'The Bow Knows Who is Changing the World'.  It was my honor to speak with Curtis where he now is employed in Cohoes, NY.
