More than ever, we need good stories to inspire leadership and connect people to purpose. In this session, Joe shares a story of police-inspired transformation. His message points to strategies related to mental health, homelessness, addiction, and community engagement.
As you walk with Joe through the tough streets of East Vancouver in the 1980s, you will experience the depths and degradation of a former hopeless, homeless opioid addict to the heights and triumph of a successful entrepreneur and philanthropist.
This remarkable story includes Joe’s interaction with Constable Scott MacLeod. Scott answered a typical distress call—a man with a gun, threatening suicide. Little did he know his involvement would be the beginning of a life-transforming event.
This is the story of what happens when police get it right.
