Sean Goode is the executive director of Choose 180, and the definition of an intentional leader. Both of his parents struggled with mental health issues, and his brother was sent to prison when Sean was only six. Along with dealing with those issues, he struggled with a lack of stability as he moved to twelve different places during twelve years of school. Despite all of those struggles, Sean was able to break the stereotype and dedicate himself to being everything others thought he couldn’t. Today, Sean transforms the lives of kids by steering them clear of the traditional school-to-prison pipeline. He provides them with a sense of community rather than shame and imprisonment. Outside of his work, Sean’s a family man at heart. He has a wife who he considers his best friend and children of his own that he’s raising.
