Emily O'Brien Episode

In the latest episode of the Empowerography Podcast, my guest is Emily O’Brien. Emily O’Brien is the founder of Comeback Snacks and star of the Digital Canaries series CRIMINALLY-ACCLAIMED™ . In this episode we discuss everything from being in prison to creating/starting a business from prison to risk to happiness.

Emily O’Brien is the founder of Comeback Snacks and star of the Digital Canaries series CRIMINALLY-ACCLAIMED™. An entrepreneur, social media influencer, and ex-convict, Emily founded Comeback Snacks in 2018, a boutique popcorn company inspired by the recipes used by inmates of the women’s prison where Emily served a brief term.

Emily’s mission at Comeback Snacks is to provide high quality, healthy, and tasty snacks for people to enjoy while also providing inspiration and training for ex-convicts looking to start fresh. She has advocated for prison reform and has sat with officials from city halls across Ontario to Parliament Hill in Ottawa. Emily holds an Honours Bachelor’s Degree in International Development from the University of Guelph, and has volunteered for organizations such as AIESEC and Habitat for Humanity. She has been featured in the Hamilton Spectator, on CHCH TV, and CBC Radio and TV. She lives in Hamilton, Ontario.
