Summary
For the past year Bob and friends have been regularly visiting the inmates at San Quentin State Prison just north of San Francisco. Although the context is for Bob to teach a modified Dream Big workshop, the inmates have been the real teachers. They are living examples of grace, redemption, respect, and the courage to dream again.
Maybe you're not in prison, but you find yourself stuck in the circumstances of your life. Listen in to this thoughtful conversation between Bob Goff and Kevin (aka 'Special Kay'), Vincent, and Brandon and be inspired by the courage of the inmates to dream for a new life.
