Good Things Presents: When It Clicked - How a Second Chance Led to Killer Bread

What happens when we give someone a second chance? For Glenn Dahl, it led to Dave's Killer Bread, a family business success story that not only revolutionized bread, but also changed how companies think about second chance hiring. Glenn, the former CEO, opens up about taking a chance on his brother Dave after his release from prison, and continuing to take a groundbreaking approach to hiring people with criminal records.

To learn more about second chance hiring, you can check out The Responsible Business Initiative for Justice at rbij.org, as well as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s website for resources on the benefits ​​of hiring formerly incarcerated individuals and an employer guide to tax credits and programs.
