Part of Jim Carroll’s 2021 Reinvention interview series, exploring how people adapt, rebuild and change direction.

Reinvention is not just about going virtual - it is about reclaiming your life! In this interview from my “Reinvention” series, which is feeding the content for my next book, I interview Randy Kearse, founder and CEO of “Reentry Strategies,” author of “Change Your Game Plan” & “From Incarceration 2 Incorporation,” and a frequent speaker focused on reinvention. Randy spent 30 plus years trapped in a cycle of violence, drug dealing, city, state, and federal prison. His journey of change is inspiring and proof positive that you can reclaim your life after prison, addiction and a life of poor choices. Reinvention, personified!
