What if the answer to some of our biggest social challenges isn't just resources, but relationships?
In this episode of Oklahoma City Nonprofits in Action, we sit down with Jon Mays, founder of The Good OKC, to discuss dignified employment, authentic community, second chances, and why relationships remain one of the most powerful tools for transformation.
John shares the story of Austin, a young man who overcame significant barriers after becoming justice-involved and found meaningful work, community, and purpose through The Good OKC and TBD Thrift.
This conversation explores:
* Dignified employment
* Second chances after incarceration
* Community transformation
* Social enterprise models
* Poverty and homelessness
* Authentic relationships
* Faith and nonprofit leadership
* Advocacy and chaplaincy
* Building belonging in Oklahoma City
If you've ever wondered how nonprofits can move beyond charity and create lasting transformation, this episode is a powerful example of what that looks like.
