Their conversation goes into the hard realities of mental health, addiction, incarceration and the hope of reentering life with purpose. Don't miss hearing his amazing story.

On December 13th, 2008, Tony Hoffman was paroled by the California Department of Corrections after serving a two-year sentence for a drug-related robbery. While incarcerated, Tony set four goals: Race BMX professionally, go to the Olympics, start a non-profit called the Freewheel Project, and become a professional mental health and substance abuse speaker. Listen in to hear how these goals turned out.
