 From Incarceration to Empire: Mitchell Mack’s Journey to Redemption  This week, we have an incredibly powerful guest joining us — Mitchell Mack, the owner of Halftime Sports Barbershop, a thriving business built on resilience, purpose, and a commitment to giving back.  Mitchell takes us through his journey from incarceration to CEO, sharing the raw and real details of life behind bars, the mental and emotional struggles he endured, and the pivotal moments that led him to walk away from a life of crime. He’ll discuss how the pain and destruction in his community became the driving force behind his decision to build a better future — not just for himself but for those who need hope and guidance.  itchell opens up about why he chose to leave the world of crime behind, and how he created a safe space for those transitioning out of prison. His story is a testament to the power of redemption, and a reminder that no matter how dark the past may be, it’s never too late to build a brighter future.
