Pigeonly: Amazing Minds, Opening Opportunties

NPR introduces me to interesting and unexpected people. Frederick Hutson, creator and CEO of Pigeon.ly is the latest. My brain is constantly dwelling on how, as the Pigeonly website says,  'audacious' his idea is.

Hutson is inspirational, not only because he is a smart business man, but because of his resilience.  Hutson saw prison as a market. I see it as a talent pipeline. 

"America is the land of the second chance - and when the gates of prison open, the path ahead should lead to a better life." - George W. Bush.
