699. How to Build a Mission That Outlasts You - Jeremy Bouman, RISE

Episode notes

Meet Jeremy Bouman , Founder of RISE in Omaha . Today, RISE operates in seven Nebraska prisons with a 90% graduate employment rate and a recidivism rate a third of the state average. And Jeremy has spent the last decade building a leadership team, a sabbatical policy, and a succession plan designed to outlast him. In this episode, he breaks down exactly how, including the internal leadership academy, the innovation program open to every employee, and their newly approved sabbatical policy. Plus: the story of a man serving a life sentence who donated $500 so someone else could take the same program that changed his life.
