Episode notes
What if the key to reducing recidivism isn’t found in a courtroom — but in a kitchen? And what if entrepreneurship is the most powerful form of rehabilitation?
In this powerful episode, we meet the visionary— Muhammad Abduli-Hadi — behind Down North Pizza, a Philly-based pizzeria that’s not just slanging pies — it’s changing lives. Built on a mission to combat recidivism, Down North exclusively hires formerly incarcerated individuals, offering them a shot at meaningful employment, mentorship, and economic stability.
