Charles, Matt and Gregg are joined by Ron Williams, MSW, Outreach Worker for Houston: reVision, who shares his incredible story of the street life, the despair of 80's Detroit, and the inspiring transformation that has led him to help kids leave the street life behind. Ron has worked in correctional facilities in Detroit, worked as a street intervention worker with some of the most hard to reach individuals, and is now working with youth in the juvenile justice system on the streets of Houston. His one of a kind story of transformation is astonishing and full of hope. "Once in a Great City: A Detroit Story" by David Maraniss is mentioned in this podcast, and provides additional context for the history of Detroit. Ron is writing a book about his life which will be released in the coming months. More information about Houston: reVision is available here: http://houstonrevision.org/
