Sparrow in the Razor Wire featuring Quan Huynh

<p>In January 1999, Quan Huynh shot and killed a man in Hollywood. He received a prison sentence of fifteen years to life in a state that, at the time, did not parole prisoners with life sentences. Quan had been a member of a violent and ruthless Vietnamese street gang, and behind bars, he spiraled out of control.</p> <p> </p> <p>Until he discovered a new path—one that prompted him to commit to self-reflection, truth, and personal responsibility. After spending twenty-two years in and out of correctional institutions, Quan was paroled from his life sentence in 2015, and created his first company six months later.</p> <p> </p> <p>He’s now the post-release program manager for Defy Ventures, a nonprofit helping those with a criminal past transform their lives through the journey of entrepreneurship. In his new book, <a href='https://geni.us/sparrowintherazorwire'>Sparrow in the Razorwire</a> Quan who has received the Peace Fellowship Award for his work with Alternatives to Violence Project, explores how he transformed his life from inside a place many see as the end of the road. For every book sold, a copy will be donated to an incarcerated Entrepreneur in Training (EIT) through the Defy Ventures program. </p> <p> </p> <p>Connect With Quan:</p> <p><a href='https://quanxhuynh.com/'>Website/Memoir</a></p> <p><a href='https://www.instagram.com/quanxhuynh/'>Instagram</a></p> <p><a href='https://www.facebook.com/quanxhuynh'>Facebook</a></p> <p><a href='https://twitter.com/quanxhuynh'>Twitter</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Connect With Ronit:</p> <p>For more about this episode <a href='https://andtheneverythingchangedpodcast.com'>click here!</a></p> <p><a href='https://www.instagram.com/andtheneverythingchangedpod/'>Instagram</a></p> <p><a href='https://www.facebook.com/ATECpodcast/'>Facebook</a></p>
