Mark Laita, the creator of Soft White Underbelly, sits down with me to reveal why he dumped $3.5 million of his own money into interviewing people on America's most dangerous streets, and the dark parenting truths he learned along the way. In this full-circle reunion, the self-proclaimed anti-religious photographer explains his uncanny ability to spot a liar in seconds, and how he accidentally built the exact platform that led me back to God and launched my preaching career.
