Nowadays virtually everyone can agree the US Justice system has profound, serious issues -- the problem is people just don't agree on how to address them. In this special interview, Ben, Matt and Noel sit down with Jason Flom, the creator and host of Wrongful Conviction, to learn more about tragic and terrifying cases of the legal system gone awry. People imprisoned for decades, only to later be found innocent. People convicted of crimes they were physically incapable of committing. The list goes on. Perhaps most importantly, Jason shares his insight on what we as individuals can do to help drive positive change.

Rickard Hansson is 48 years old to date, but started tinkering with his Commodore 64 when he was young. Later in life, he fell in love with building things and distributing it - IE building for others. He built his first commercial product at 15, which was a CRM built in Pascal. Outside of tech, he is a father of 3 and is a movie buff in his spare time. His favorite movie is a story about a tree diver, called Le Grand Blue or "The Big Blue".
In the past, Rickard was running his company named Incentive, making tools for internal teams to collaborate. What they noticed was that there was a major shift towards utilizing third party tools to improve productivity, while developers of said tools had a hard time keeping up. He and his team decided to create the tooling to help them better compete.
