Emily OβBrien is the Founder of Comeback Snacks, a gourmet popcorn company that she started in federal prison. Yes, you read that correctly!
After getting mixed up with the wrong crowd and the wrong substances, Emily made a colossal mistake and was sentenced to 4 years in prison. She started her company with the goal of creating a social enterprise that could provide reintegration opportunities for other ex-offenders.
As Emily shares her story, we chat about the role community played in her journey before, during and after prison.
