What happens when a person refuses to be defined by their worst mistake?

In this episode of The Power of Integrity, host Ralph Adamo speaks with Steve Kim, Executive Director of Project Kinship, whose journey from incarceration and addiction to healing and leadership is a profound example of integrity in action.

Steve shares how childhood trauma, racism, and anger led him to the streets and ultimately jail. But it was a visit with his infant daughter through the glass in jail that broke him open. What followed was a transformation powered by community, recovery, and radical self-honesty. Today, Steve leads a 150-person nonprofit serving thousands across Orange County, employing the formerly incarcerated and walking with others on their path to healing.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✅ Why healing is the first step to true transformation
✅ How Steve rebuilt his life and started a nonprofit from the ground up
✅ What servant leadership, self-accountability, and culture-first work really look like
