In this episode, Taylor hosts Buzzy Martin, the \\u201cGitar man\\u201d who shares a lot about himself and the amazing initiatives he is putting in place through music to keep kids out of prison as well as to give the incarcerated a voice. He tells how his passion for his quest started in California Community schools before he moved to San Quentin State Prison where he ended up teaching music for three years. Doing this made him change alongside the kids and the incarcerated. He feels the USA as a  country should also support the growth of the art industry and stop always banking on education. It is while in this path that many assumed him to be an ex-felon and he had to explain that he is being a voice to the incarcerated but has never been incarcerated. Buzzy goes on to tell about all he has been doing with and for the incarcerated. He talks about his book and the songs he has written.

When Taylor asks him about what he thinks about Life imprisonment without parole possibility, Buzzy answers by opening his heart out to the world. He tells how he finds it all wrong to lock fellow humans up in a cage for life and forget about them. He argues that we all make mistakes and one deserves a second chance in life. He advocates for systems to look into how to best educate and not just incarcerate.
