    Episode 23: Cole Williams, Owner of COLE SPEAKS & SON TO A FATHER

    We're just so thrilled that Cole Williams decided to be on the podcast with us. We are honored to work with Cole in a myriad of ways (The Delta Project, The Fatherhood, anything he asks of us). But more importantly, we believe in the work he's doing.  His calling is around changing the narrative around boys and men of color. That work flowers into action with the juvenile detention center, prison reform, Hope Network, and so many other things that we can't keep up. We loved having him on the podcast.  You should reach out to Cole if you'd like to support him in the work he does.  SHOW NOTES: You can find Cole online at: http://www.colespeaks.com Thanks so much for listening!  Special thanks to Kyle Campbell and Eric Heemstra for working so hard on this podcast.
