Jordon Holdaway was born with a rebellious spirit. Mix that with some difficult circumstances in his life and it was a recipe for disaster. At about 10, he had the great idea of selling pies to all the people in the neighborhood, never mind that he had no intention of delivering any pies. Finding his identity in going against the grain, his single mother could do little to reign him in. Finding drugs in his later teens, he continued down the rebellious road into a life of drugs and crime and violence. Facing another very long prison term, he convinced a public prosecutor to allow him to go to The Other Side Academy in SLC. There he found his way and came to himself bringing out the potential that everyone but himself recognized. Listen in as he tells his story, including some of the powerful change agents in The Other Side Academy.
