In this episode of The Ripple Effect Project, Tracy Carlisle, Founder and CEO of Gotcha-Back Inc., shares his powerful journey from 12 years of incarceration to becoming a leader focused on reentry, opportunity, youth violence prevention, and community transformation.

Tracy shares what he learned about rebuilding a life, the challenges returning citizens face, and why second chances must include both accountability and opportunity. We also explore how mentorship, employment, relationships, and community support can create pathways toward lasting change.
