In this episode of the 8158 Podcast: Stories of Sacrifice, we share the remarkable journey of Richard Glassman and Joseph Herd Jr.—two men whose lives collided behind prison walls but became forever connected through an act of courage and an unexpected bond. Richard, a corrections officer, once saved Joseph’s life during a brutal attack inside the Ventura Youth Correctional Facility. Decades later, their relationship has transformed from duty and survival to friendship and growth. This is a powerful story of redemption, second chances, and the human spirit’s ability to rise above circumstance. Don’t miss this heartfelt conversation that challenges assumptions and celebrates the strength it takes to change a life—yours or someone else’s. ⸻ 💙 Support the mission: Donate to the William H. “Bill” Butler Jr. Foundation: 🔗 https://www.8158podcast.com/donate 🌐 Website: 🔗 https://www.8158podcast.com 🎙 Want to be a guest?
