More than one in three adults in the U.S. have a criminal record. These individuals face over 44,000 government-imposed barriers to work, housing, education, and civil rights that limit their efforts to become responsible stewards of their families and communities. How can churches, businesses, law enforcement, and policymakers better unlock second chances for Americans who have paid their debt to society? What can our society do to reduce cycles of recidivism, addiction, and unemployment among individuals leaving our nation's prisons and jails? Prison Fellowship joined us for a conversation about the importance of fostering a culture that promotes second chances.Speakers:Stanley Ball, Vice President and Chief Litigation Counsel at Eaton CorporationJa'Ron Smith, Partner at Dentons Global Advisors Government RelationsJermaine Wilson, Regional Director at Prison Fellowship and Mayor of Leavenworth, KansasKate Trammell, Esq., Vice President of Advocacy at Prison FellowshipSupport the show
In this episode of Work in Progress, Stan Ball, vice president and chief litigation counsel for Eaton Corporation, and I discuss tearing down barriers to employment for people with a criminal record. There are more than 80 million people in the U.S. – one in three Americans – has some type of criminal record. Even when it includes only a misdemeanor arrest or conviction, that record poses a significant barrier to employment. Research from Harvard shows that more than 80% of employers require job applicants to undergo a background check, and a criminal record can reduce the chances of a second interview by 50%. The typical unemployment rate for justice-involved individuals is between 24% and 27% and formerly-incarcerated people who are Black have a five-times higher jobless rate compared to the general population. The Second Chance Business Coalition The Second Chance Business Coalition (SCBC) is an organization of 42 large companies that are committed to expanding second chance hiring and advancement within in their companies to justice-involved individuals. The group was co-founded in April of 2021 by JPMorgan Chase chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon and Eaton chairman and CEO Craig Arnold. SCBC was inspired by the Business Roundtable decision to form a committee on racial equity and justice to eliminate racial disparities in economic opportunities. Both groups believe that second-chance policies have the potential to expand economic and life opportunities for individuals who have paid their debt to society. Ball is an Eaton executive who often speaks on behalf of SCBC. "If we believe in our justice system with all of its faults – when someone is convicted and they are given a sentence – with the time served it should be done. It should be over with. That should be the end of it. "But if our practices in terms of looking at potential employees is to say, 'Well, you've got this on your record. We really don't care whether or not you've paid your debt to society or not. We're still going to attach the stigma to you.' That's the equivalent of a life sentence when it comes to finding meaningful employment," says Ball. And with the documented needs for workers, he adds, it is time to work to ensure that this pool of talent is not left out of the hiring. "It's unfortunate that in America we have gotten into this culture of sidelining talent in massive numbers and this is a great time for us in our history to pivot, to pull people off the sidelines and get them back in the game," says Ball. In our conversation, we talk about some of the steps SCBC members are incorporating to make this a reality. We also examine some of the progress being made.

Episode 8: Legal, Compliance and Freedom - Making Compliance Fun Again! (Part Two) Who would have ever thought that the topic of legal and compliance would require two episodes, but it does! Part #2 continues the discussion covering how a firm handles FINRA and the SEC when sorting through the confusion that exists when trying to satisfy both standards and how to maintain a high standard of regulatory diligence within independent wealth management firms. For this episode, we welcome back our stellar panel: Sharron Ash, Chief Litigation Counsel at Hamburger Law Firm, Leigh Emery, Chief Compliance Officer at Dynasty Financial Partners, Michael Henley, Founder and CEO of Brandywine Oak Private Wealth and Alison Brooks, Co-Founder and COO of Brandywine Oak Private Wealth.
Episode 7: Legal, Compliance and Freedom – Making Compliance Fun Again! (Part One) One would never think about putting the words Legal, Compliance and Freedom in the same sentence. Many advisors, in the past, have considered the compliance departments in their old firm the anti-business unit, but that’s because many of those policies and procedures catered to the lowest common denominator of advisors. This unfairly restricted the best advisors and made it difficult to serve their clients. They knew there was a better way, so many sought the freedom that owning their own firm offered, but having that freedom also means having the responsibility to establish and run their new firm in a compliant manner. This episode explores this topic with our panel of experts, Sharron Ash, Chief Litigation Counsel at Hamburger Law Firm, Leigh Emery, Chief Compliance Officer Dynasty Financial Partners, Michael Henley, Founder and CEO of Brandywine Oak Private Wealth and Alison Brooks, Co-Founder and COO of Brandywine Oak Private Wealth.
