Fail fast to succeed faster

Jason tells us that right out of law school he started his own non-profit. He learned from this to focus on solving problems where other people are looking for that solution.
Jason explains that he trained primarily to do policy work and that turned out to not be as fulfilling as he was expecting.

Tell us something good

ExpungeMaryland.org has been a tremendous success. Early on Jason and his business partner John quickly became knows as experts and began speaking on the subject.
Jason and John have been focusing their attention on scaling the concept to a national level.
One of the great values that Jason sees in this expansion is the ability to collect data and learn from it in real time.
