TCA is excited to announce Brett Hollins as the welcome speaker for the 2026 TCA Special Populations Conference. Join us Wednesday, December 9, 2026, for his session, titled How Much Potential Are We Walking Past? This session challenges us to look beyond labels, circumstances, and traditional ideas of rehabilitation to consider what becomes possible when we begin seeing people differently. Through lived experience, leadership, and lessons from both sides of the correctional system, Brett Hollins invites participants to reconsider where transformation begins, who has the capacity to lead it, and how much potential we may be walking past every day.

Brett Hollins is a speaker, nonprofit leader, professional basketball player, and United States Marine Corps veteran whose life and work center on leadership, identity, and transformation. After serving in the Marine Corps, Brett experienced incarceration firsthand, an experience that ultimately reshaped the direction of his life. While incarcerated, he developed the foundation for I3: Identify, Inspire, Integrate, a leadership model designed to help people recognize their value, take ownership of their choices, and envision a different future. Today, Brett serves as Executive Director of The Side Door, an organization bringing leadership development and community building programming into correctional institutions across the country. The Side Door has reached thousands of adults in custody across multiple states. Brett holds a bachelor’s degree in Communication and a master’s degree in Organizational Leadership. He speaks nationally to correctional leaders, professionals, and incarcerated populations, using his story to challenge how we think about leadership, potential, and second chances.
