Dave Tassone on Leaving Education for Criminal Justice Reform — and Why the Skills Transferred Perfectly

At This Time ... we're sitting down with Dave Tassone, a former Teach For America educator turned healthcare talent leader, who made a career pivot that most people wouldn't see coming — from charter school management to a mental health agency serving people navigating the criminal justice system. Dave shares how a bond with a student who became incarcerated during his first year of teaching never quite left him, and eventually pulled him toward this work years later. Now heading up people & culture at Project 180 LA, he's building a team from scratch in one of the most mission-driven environments around. We also get into AI slop in job applications (yes, someone submitted a resume with the ChatGPT prompt still in it), how AI is quietly revolutionizing clinical documentation, and why change management in a multigenerational workforce is the real challenge nobody's talking about.
