What if the key to second chances was as simple—and as powerful—as learning how to communicate better? In this episode, Joe sits down with Dr. Kim Nugent, leadership coach, author of From Prison to Possibility, and mentor to incarcerated men and women. Together, they explore how the words we use can build bridges, rebuild trust, and even change the course of someone’s life.

From prison mentorship programs to everyday parenting conversations, Dr. Nugent shares practical strategies for listening deeply, asking better questions, and choosing words that invite connection instead of conflict. You’ll learn how small shifts—like replacing “why” with “what” or “how”—can completely transform a conversation.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why communication is the foundation for healthy relationships.
  • How mentorship inside prisons reduces recidivism and builds respect.
  • The surprising power of emotional intelligence and listening.
  • Words to avoid (and what to use instead) when speaking to kids or coworkers.
  • Real-life stories of reconciliation, forgiveness, and second chances.
