In this powerful episode of the Dapper Barbarian Show, host Julian Diaz discusses the formation of an impactful new segment, ‘Voices for the One,’ aimed at addressing human trafficking and exploitation. Julian is joined by long-time police veteran Steve Williams from Colorado, who shares his experiences in combating trafficking through active anti-trafficking initiatives and intelligence gathering.
