John Koufos shares his powerful story with The Last Mile radio show

May 21, 2024

John Koufos (Leading with Conviction™ 2017) recently sat down for an interview with The Last Mile radio show: “Hear how his reckoning with alcoholism was nearly fatal, and how his work in support of criminal justice reform is bolstered by his lived experience on both sides.”

The Last Mile Radio is a production of The Last Mile (TLM) and Sirius XM Radio. It is hosted by Chris Redlitz (co-founder of TLM), and Maserati-E, a musician/audio engineer and former resident of San Quentin State Prison. The show’s executive producers are Chris Redlitz and Beverly Parenti at TLM and Liz Aiello at Sirius XM.
