Today's episode is certainly bittersweet as we bid farewell to Darius. 

We made it, friends! Episode 50 is here and we are so excited to share this milestone episode with you, and we thank you for your support of the Make a Difference Podcast.

In episode 50, we talk to Buck Adams, founder of Art for Redemption. Buck is a veteran, social entrepreneur, and a formally incarcerated individual. While incarcerated, Buck began working with Defy Colorado, an independent nonprofit organization that helps individuals with criminal histories create legal business ventures. This is how Art for Redemption came to life. 

Art for Redemption helps inmates become rehabilitated and contributing members of society through art made in prison. 

Reza is a husband, father, NFL Chaplain for the Denver Broncos, and a campus director for Athletes in Action. 

He is originally from Abadan, Iran, yet spent most of his life in Southern California. He attended Colorado State University and had the opportunity to play football for the Rams. His love of investing in others and athletics lead him to coach at the collegiate level for 2 years before he started pouring his life into others on and off the playing field. He currently coaches business men and women, helping organizations align vision and mentor athletes. 

It's another episode of feel good stories! Darius and Farra share some feel good stories from around the world this week.
