Alice Marie Johnson is a profound advocate for criminal justice reform, whose remarkable story of redemption has inspired a national conversation on the topic.

Once sentenced to life imprisonment, Alice's journey took a transformative turn when her case caught the attention of high-profile advocates, leading to her commutation in 2018. Her experiences have fueled her mission to advocate for those still behind bars and to reform the system that once held her captive.

Alice Marie Johnson is now an author, speaker, and leader in the movement for justice. Her book, "After Life: My Journey from Incarceration to Freedom," co-authored with Nancy French, is a compelling account of her life and the power of hope and redemption.

Her voice is a beacon of resilience and change, echoing in media appearances and collaborations with organizations dedicated to criminal justice reform. Alice's story is not just one of personal triumph but also a call to action for systemic change.

Meet Igor Kurganov, a poker mastermind and philanthropist, whose strategic prowess extends beyond the poker table to the realm of effective altruism.

A high-stakes tournament specialist, Kurganov is known for his calm demeanor and his significant impact both on and off the felt. With over $18 million in poker winnings, his transition from poker to philanthropy is marked by his co-founding of Raising for Effective Giving (REG), an organization that employs the principles of effective altruism to maximize charitable impact​ (888 Poker)​.

Beyond the poker accolades, Igor Kurganov's intellect and analytical skills caught the attention of none other than Elon Musk, entrusting him with the critical task of navigating Musk’s philanthropic efforts.

His role involves scrutinizing and selecting the most impactful charities, applying the same methodical and empathetic approach that he's known for at the poker table. This synergy of logic, empathy, and a thorough understanding of human motivation makes Kurganov a unique bridge between the worlds of high-stakes poker and high-impact philanthropy​ (888 Poker)​.

Join me in a simultaneously hopeful and outrageous conversation with my guest, Virginia Mann, a Honduran resident and employee of the startup city Próspera in the special economic zone (Zonas de Empleo y Desarrollo Económico—ZEDEs) of Roatán, Honduras.

You are going to learn Virginia’s life’s story as well as the history of her homeland, its residents, and the arrival of Próspera, the company that is changing the lives of hundreds of people in Honduras for the better—and is under attack for doing it. This is not a unique Central American tale. It is also very similar to the stories of many African lands. That is why this episode is so personal to me.

Below are the two negative articles about Próspera mentioned in the interview:
- Democracy Now piece: https://democracynow.org/2023/6/28/honduras_private_charter_cities
- Rest of World piece: https://restofworld.org/2021/honduran-islanders-push-back-libertarian-startup/



And here are two other articles to balance with the ones above:

- https://moderndiplomacy.eu/2023/05/25/for-u-s-politicians-a-free-honduras-should-be-a-bipartisan-priority/
- https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/prospectus-on-prospera
