In this heartfelt episode, we hear from Chip Skowron, MD/PhD and former CEO of Prison Entrepreneurship Program, who takes us through the double life he lived since childhood and how he found peace with himself following the four years he spent in prison for insider trading.

Emerging with a renewed sense of purpose, Chip shares how Vanessa's new book served as a poignant reminder of the power of community and healing that he experienced while in prison.

While touching on the foreword he wrote for Vanessa's book, he also shares the soul wounds that he healed and how he learned to tune into the body's wisdom, instead of reacting or running away.

Join us for an inspiring conversation about resilience, redemption, and the enduring strength of human connection.
