Proud to share the first episode of “The Restart” featuring Fourfourtytrucking,llc. This is a fitting first episode because Kevin is the person who opened the door for Project Restart founder Tiffany Kirk in the reentry space when she arrived in Georgia.
The request by Kevin for her to provide financial literacy at Metro Reentry Facility reignited the continuation of her work, which would ultimately become Project Restart.
The full circle moment is that as of January 2026 in partnership with Common Good Atlanta, Project Restart is now being delivered inside of Metro Reentry Facility.
A second chance received is not just a one-way street, it can truly be a reciprocal effect that creates lasting impact.
Thank you to Minnesota’s own Salimah Songstress for a phenomenal theme song and Tiffany Kirk for show production!
Enjoy!
