From Prison Shot Caller to Community Leader | Dave Duroucher, Part 1
I'm joined by Dave Duroucher on this episode of the All My Friends Are Felons Podcast. Dave describes his childhood self as "Dennis the Mennis on steroids." He came from a solid home but by age 12, he started committing crimes which led him down the path of drug addiction and time behind bars. In prison, he became a shot caller for his gang, but eventually realized that his life was on a horrible trajectory. Through hard work and self-reform, Dave sought therapy and was able to turn his life around with the help of Delancy Street. Tune in to hear his incredible story of transformation and hope.

“I’m so immature, right? It’s all about Dave. ALL about me. I really didn’t understand what I was up against. I was just being a loser, a liar, a manipulator, a sneaky, selfish kid just doing everything I could for my own indulgence and my own feel goods and saw nothing wrong with it.” 20:00
