The James Protin Podcast
Welcome to the Podcast. I’m your host, Jamie Protin. Every week I will be sharing the experiences that have defined my journey, and talking with people who have their own powerful story to tell. You will witness stories of love, faith, gratitude, forgiveness and redemption. The conversations will be unfiltered, filled with thought-provoking questions, and hopefully a few answers. Our guests will discuss facing fear and overcoming adversity to succeed in business, leadership, entrepreneurship, education, relationships, and more. The conversations promise to be raw and gritty…and will always be entertaining. Just like real life. Live. Love. Learn. Pray. and Inspire is about feeling everything and living life to its fullest. With my guests, I hope to inspire, engage and create impactful dialogue. That’s the essence of the podcast. It’s about doing better and being better, in life, business, and all things in-between.The visually inclined can catch us on YouTube or you can check us out on just about every podcast platform.

A Survivor's Perspective | The James Protin Podcast
With more than half a million Americans homeless on a given night, Episode #20 is Part 2 of our show on Human Trafficking, and the Homeless Epidemic in America.
There are many reasons people find themselves living on the street, one is mental illness…it’s estimated that one quarter of all homeless people were suffering from a serious mental disorder.
Drug and alcohol use is also often a factor: More than a third of homeless shelter residents struggle with substance-abuse disorders. And economic factors such as job loss or the cost and availability of housing can’t be ignored.
Our guests for Part 2, Episode #20…are Maggie Novotny, Director of Client Services for Domestic Violence Services of SWPA, and Becky McKenzie, a Survivor and Advocate working with trafficking victims in SWPA.
As always, the visually inclined can catch this conversation on YouTube, or you can listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or the platform of your choice.
