Anthony Sanchez shares his raw journey from childhood trauma and Houston street life to serving more than 10 years in the Texas prison system—and ultimately rebuilding his life after release. In this powerful interview, Anthony explains how poverty, abuse, addiction, gang culture, drug dealing, violence, and the prison environment shaped his early decisions. He opens up about losing his mother to a cocaine overdose, carrying a gun as a teenager, selling drugs, facing aggravated robbery charges, and receiving a 16-year prison sentence at only 17 years old. Anthony also gives an inside look at Texas prison politics, racial segregation, Tango Blast, corrupt correctional officers, contraband, violence, and the survival mentality required behind bars. After his release in 2022, he transformed his life through barbering, entrepreneurship, public speaking, social media, and community outreach. This episode is a story about crime, prison, accountability, redemption, rehabilitation, and the possibility of changing your life after incarceration. Go Support Anthony!

Tommy "Big Fatts" Sanders grew up in Niagara Falls New York — and by the time he was 6 years old his mother had been killed. His father was in prison. What followed was a childhood spent in group homes juvie and living with prostitutes — and an education in the streets that taught him how to rob stores and banks before most kids had their driver's license. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Tommy tells the complete story — the childhood that shaped everything the addiction to robbing that took over his early 20s the bank and store spree that sent him on the run and the 18.5 year New York State Prison sentence that finally stopped him. He opens up about what surviving New York State Prison really looked like and what it finally took to turn his life completely around. _____________________________________________ #bankrobbery #prison #truecrimecommunity _____________________________________________ Connect with Tommy "Big Fatts" Sanders: Book: https://www.amazon.com/My-Pen-Pushes-T-Sanders-ebook/dp/B07J181DBW _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Niagara Falls Bank Robber Who Refused to Snitch — Full Story 01:32 Growing Up in Niagara Falls and the Environment That Shaped Everything 03:44 Losing His Mother and the Early Trauma That Changed the Direction of His Life 05:51 His Father's Prison Story and the Family Dynamics That Defined His Childhood 07:39 His First Steps Into Crime and What That World Really Looked Like 09:39 Life on the Streets and the Early Robberies That Started the Escalation 12:12 School Years and His Attempts to Join the Army That Could Have Changed Everything 14:29 The Cycle of the Streets and the Family Influence That Kept Pulling Him Back 17:36 Living in Group Homes and the Environment That Surrounded Him 20:07 The Transition to Robberies and What Really Motivated Those Decisions 23:13 The Robbery Spree and the Failed Attempts at a Normal Life That Followed 27:04 The Bank Robbery Details and What Life on the Run Really Looked Like 31:11 Life as a Fugitive and the Criminal Addiction That Kept Him Going 34:20 His Capture the Charges and Why He Refused to Snitch 37:37 His Prison Sentence and the Transfers Between Facilities 42:58 Adapting to Prison Life and What Surviving the Violence Really Required 48:18 Navigating Gangs and Prison Relationships From the Inside 53:32 Maintaining Family Bonds From Inside Prison and What That Required 56:41 His Personal Growth in Prison and What Writing a Book Really Meant 01:00:18 His Release From Prison and the Reentry Challenges That Followed 01:03:08 Rebuilding Family Connections After Prison and What That Process Required 01:05:49 The Addiction of Robbery and the Mental Challenges That Come With It 01:09:02 Facing Temptation and What Choosing a New Life Actually Required 01:13:02 His Reflections His Regrets and the Message He Wants Every Young Person to Hear 01:14:13 His Current Life — Music Writing and Community Work 01:16:00 The SNUG Program and What Giving Back to the Community Really Looks Like 01:18:09 His Final Thoughts and Closing Message _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

The Rebbe explains how to discern whether one's motivation for community work is pure or influenced by ulterior motives. He outlines when to self-examine, a test for motive purity, and teaches that even unintended merit in communal work is valuable. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/012/004/4017

A Bay of Plenty-based group is turning a pest problem into a community solution. Hunt for Good is a not-for-profit that culls wild deer, donating the venison and wild game meat to community groups and food banks. It's volunteer run, and helps farmers manage the wild deer population on their land in a sustainable way. It was founded by Jasper Osborne at the end of 2024, and in that time they've culled nearly 2000 wild deer and donated over 16 thousand kilograms of mince to those in need. “A lot of farmers are under a lot of stress ... and if they've got huge number of deer running around their properties, then that stock, they can't have, so that's really profit they can't have,” Osborne told Jack Tame. “If we can help them by eliminating some of the issues for them, and also turning it into a food source for the community, then it's a double win."

This week, we welcome and spotlight community worker, homelessness advocate, and candidate for Toronto City Council, Diana Chan McNally. We discuss Chan McNally's run to become City Councillor for Toronto's Ward 4, Parkdale-High Park, top-of-mind issues for the Ward and the city, provincial encroachment on municipal government and her vision of bringing community work to municipal politics.  Chan McNally says: "Part of why I'm running too, I also very much do not appreciate the provincial encroachment on municipalities. I have a history of fighting Ford. I have won resources from Ford, including $54 million for rents for people on the streets. Managed to win that from his government And I am ready to just let it rip against this guy because of his constant encroachment on our autonomy municipally, not just here, across the entire province. Strong Mayor powers. He's appointing regional councils instead of having them elected. The trustees, cutting them and then putting them under supervision. All of this is about taking away local democracy. It makes me so angry that I want to fight back as well and defend the city against what he's doing." About today's guest:  Diana Chan McNally (she/they) is a former graduate and faculty member of the Community Worker Program at George Brown Polytechnic in Toronto, a long-time front-line worker, and a housing and harm reduction advocate. Chan McNally is currently running for Toronto City Council in Ward 4 Parkdale—High Park.  Visit Diana Chan McNally's campaign at https://www.dianachanmcnally.ca/ Transcript of this episode can be accessed at georgebrown.ca/TommyDouglasInstitute.  Image: Diana Chan McNally / Used with permission Music: Ang Kahora.

Still relying on willpower to see you through? How well has that worked in the past?In this episode, Gina Livy and learning strategist Dr. Deena Kara Shaffer unpack why sustainable weight loss feels so hard, and it's not about knowing what to eat. Together, they get into the psychology of behaviour change, why overwhelm shows up even when the plan is simple, and how to choose a path that actually works for you (without burning you out). It's a practical conversation about mastering the “how” behind starting, staying, and showing up for yourself, especially when life gets messy (because when isn't life messy!?). If you've ever struggled with motivation, follow-through, or feeling like you have to do ALL THE THINGS to be successful, this one will hit home.You can find the full video hosted at:www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring2026Where to find Dr. DeenaInstagram: @awakenedlearningWebsite: www.awakenedlearning.caDr. Deena's books:Feel Good LearningRaising Well LearnersTo learn more about The Livy Method, visit livymethod.com.

This conversation was recorded in early 2025. Event references reflect that date.Ukrainian newcomer Olena Lavrishcheva speaks with Pawlina about her family's extraordinary journey from Kyiv to Nanaimo, their experience of the full‑scale invasion, and the community work now emerging on Vancouver Island.Olena recounts how she, her husband, and two of their daughters were unexpectedly outside Ukraine—on a cruise in Dubai—when Russia launched its brutal assault. Their four younger children and son‑in‑law were still in Kyiv. What followed was a frantic, days‑long effort to reunite the family at the Romanian border, followed by months of displacement in Turkey and Germany before finally settling in Nanaimo. Today, eleven family members are here.Before the war, Olena ran a private school in Kyiv and worked with youth through a missions foundation, including educational programs in Turkey. In Nanaimo, she is a teaching assistant at Nanaimo Christian School, while her adult daughters—also trained educators—have secured teaching positions. Alongside work and family responsibilities, Olena has helped launch a new community organization: the Canadian Alliance of Ukrainian Workers.She explains that the Alliance was created to unite Ukrainians and Canadians who want to support humanitarian needs in Ukraine and help newcomers integrate and contribute locally. The group brings together people with Ukrainian roots and local supporters who want to take meaningful, practical steps—small but impactful—to assist those affected by the war.Olena also describes the organization's early initiatives, including a community cultural event held in February 2025 to mark the third year of the full‑scale invasion. The gathering featured music, reflections on Ukraine before and during the war, cultural presentations, video segments, and Ukrainian food. While the event has passed, the goals behind it remain central: to remember, to inform, to celebrate Ukrainian culture, and to strengthen community connections.Listeners wishing to learn more about the Canadian Alliance of Ukrainian Workers or to get involved may contact Olena by text at 778‑674‑8771.

Nonprofit organization design is about how an organization works: how decisions get made, how power flows, how people collaborate across boundaries, and how strategy actually gets translated into day-to-day action. In episode 142, of Nonprofit Mission: Impact, Carol Hamilton and Jeanne Bell dig deeply into why organization design—often overlooked or reduced to org charts—is actually a missing discipline nonprofits need to truly operationalize their strategy and values. They discuss: How nonprofits are too often stuck in false dichotomies (flat vs. hierarchical),  Why too many organizations are burdened by overly complicated compensation systems, and hindered by management team structures that don't reflect how strategy actually needs to happen.  How by aligning Galbraith's STAR model elements—strategy, structure, processes, rewards, and people, nonprofit organizations can genuinely act on their missions.  This episode offers nonprofit leaders a grounded, liberating framework for rethinking how their organizations make decisions, how people collaborate, and what it really means to design for impact.   Episode highlights: 09:05 | Why the STAR Model Matters in Nonprofit Life 13:20 | A Clear, Shared Definition of Strategy (And Why It's Non-Negotiable) 15:15 | When to Revisit Strategy: The Changing Sociopolitical Context 17:25| Beyond Flat vs. Hierarchical: Designing for Roles, Accountability & Power 20:20 | The Critical Role of Cross-Functional Spaces 23:05 | Stop Creating Ineffective Committees & Task Forces 27:25 | Recommendations vs. Decisions: Be Honest About Power 30:05 | Rewards & Compensation: The Hidden Restraints on Organizational Design 35:35 | Job Descriptions: A Mechanistic Tool Limiting Flexibility 38:20 | Why Management Teams Don't Work (And What to Build Instead) 42:05 | The Question Every Nonprofit Leader Should Ask 44:35 | Closing Reflections Guest Bio: Jeanne Bell is the co-founder of Just Org Design. She has consulted on nonprofit strategy and organizational change for over 25 years. Jeanne also curates Nonprofit Quarterly's Leading Edge Program, recruiting and presenting nonprofit practitioners advancing more equitable nonprofit leadership practices.

Claire de Mézerville López welcomes Deanna Van Buren and Adrienne Hogg to the Restorative Works! Podcast.  We are joined by Deanna Van Buren, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Designing Justice + Designing Spaces (DJDS), and Adrienne Hogg, Co-Executive Director of Community Works. Together, we explore how spaces, rooms, buildings, and environments in which we gather directly shape our nervous systems, our sense of dignity, and our ability to repair harm. Deanna reframes "trauma-informed design" as designing for well-being, offering a body–mind–spirit lens on how spaces can regulate, inspire, and care for us. Adrienne shares how Community Works brings this philosophy to life by creating warm, culturally rooted, non-institutional spaces where young people, survivors, families, and staff feel seen, grounded, and capable of restoration.  From reimagining classroom design in higher education to redefining what justice spaces can communicate, the conversation weaves together architecture, community wisdom, creative practice, and systems change. Both guests illuminate how co-designing that deeply involves communities, including those most impacted by harm, becomes its own restorative practice.  Deanna Van Buren is the co-founder and executive director of Designing Justice + Designing Spaces. An architecture and real estate nonprofit working to end mass incarceration through place-based solutions, DJDS builds infrastructure that addresses its root causes: poverty, racism, unequal access to resources, and the criminal justice system itself. Van Buren has been profiled by  The New York Times and has written op-eds on the intersection of design and mass incarceration in outlets such as Politico, Architectural Record, and Stanford Social Innovation Review. Her TEDWomen talk on what a world without prisons could look like has been viewed more than one million times. She is the only architect to have been awarded the Rauschenberg Artist as Activist fellowship, and she is also the recipient of UC Berkeley's Berkeley-Rupp Architecture Prize and Professorship. Van Buren received her bachelor's degree in architecture from the University of Virginia and her master's degree from Columbia University, and she is an alumna of the Loeb Fellowship at Harvard's Graduate School of Design.  Adrienne Hogg is co-executive director at Community Works.  In this role, she focuses on finance, administration, and operations in addition to working with her co-executive director on strategic and development activities. Prior to joining Community Works, Adrienne founded Gather Locally, a startup e-commerce technology company.  Before starting Gather Locally, Adrienne was the head of finance and controller for several public and private corporations in the life sciences and construction industries, where she managed accounting, finance, human resources, legal, and facilities. She is an Oakland native who received bachelor's and master's degrees from the UC Berkeley, Haas School of Business.  Tune in to learn more about how the spaces we build reflect the futures we believe in.

In this episode of the Sustainable Coaching Podcast, Marilyn reflects on the lessons, wins, and wake-up calls that shaped her in 2024 and how those experiences are guiding her into 2026 with deeper purpose and alignment. She opens up about the shifts she's making in her business model, why she's returning to community-based programs, and how she sees the coaching industry evolving as regulations tighten and expectations rise. Marilyn shares openly about simplifying her systems, refining her offers, and recommitting to the habits and platforms that genuinely support sustainable growth. You'll also hear her break down the mindset work behind removing what no longer serves you, navigating digital overwhelm, recommitting to authentic leadership, and focusing on long-term impact over online distractions. Marilyn explains which tools and platforms she's loving right now, what she's preparing for in 2026, and why coaches must use discernment in an industry full of shiny objects and mixed messages. She closes with a powerful reminder not to be attracted to “the pretty things” or fall into trauma-bonding content online, especially when you're called to lead with purpose. What habits, wins, and lessons from 2024 should you keep and which ones should you release before entering 2026? How do community-based programs and authentic connections create more sustainable results than fast-scaling strategies? What mindset shifts and business refinements will help you grow with integrity as the coaching industry evolves? Remember to join our free community, where we discuss these strategies in depth.

In this episode of the Sustainable Coaching Podcast, Marilyn West opens up about the hardest lesson I had to learn as a coach. You must understand the distinction between selling what you want to offer and what your audience is actually ready to buy.

You'll hear the truth about why even the most well-crafted programs can fall flat and what it really takes to create offers that resonate and convert. If you've ever launched something you poured your heart into only to hear crickets, this conversation will shift your perspective. I'll walk you through how to listen to your audience, identify their most urgent problems, and package your expertise in a way that makes people excited to buy. This episode is about letting go of ego-driven offers and stepping into a strategy that allows you to serve more people while building a profitable coaching business. In this episode, you'll learn: How do you know if you're selling what you want versus what your audience actually needs? What immediate problems should you solve first to build trust and long-term clients? How can you break down your big signature program into entry points that sell?
