Rodney Phillips, a former gang member from Chicago, has a story that could have ended tragically. Instead, it became a powerful tale of redemption. After spending years in and out of jail, Rodney found himself part of a violence interruption program that opened his eyes to a different way of life. However, financial difficulties led him back to dealing drugs, and he found himself in the newspapers as an example of failure. But this wasn’t the end for Rodney. With a change in mindset and a newfound passion for helping at-risk youth, Rodney transformed his life. Today, he’s known as the "Chief of Peace," dedicating his career to violence prevention and youth mentorship. His story is a testament to the power of second, third, and even fourth chances. Listen to Rodney’s journey on The Path Forward Podcast™ and discover how he became a beacon of hope in his community.
