Lyndi Schmidt walked out of her interview at A 2nd Chance, called the recruiter, and said four words: "I want this job." The recruiter warned her it was a bail bond company. She said she didn't mind. Week one was 12 hours. Week two was 12 hours. Then 30. Then 40. Then it never stopped growing because she was good at it, and the need kept expanding. She shadowed Jesse Fellabaum, learned every part of the operation, and eventually built out the entire monitoring division from the ground up. That is what happens when you stop doing what is comfortable. Justice Unfiltered with Daniel Matalon of A 2nd Chance Bail Bonds and Tug Cowart. 🎧 Full episode: https://www.thepodcastpark.com/justiceunfiltered/ #CareerGrowth #WomenInLeadership #SecondChances #JusticeUnfiltered #BailBonds

Justice Unfiltered goes behind the scenes with two of the people who keep A 2nd Chance running day-to-day. Jesse Fellabaum, Director of Operations for A 2nd Chance Bail Bonds, and Lyndi Schmidt, Director of Operations for A 2nd Chance Monitoring, join hosts Tug Cowart and Daniel Matalon for a candid look at what it actually takes to get someone out of jail and keep them accountable once they are out. Jesse has been with the company since 2010. Lyndi came in part-time to process payroll and never left. Together, they break down how GPS monitoring works, how judges set zone parameters, and why ankle monitoring almost never means what people think it means. The conversation covers the full range of monitoring technology, from continuous alcohol monitors to phone-based check-in apps, and tackles the myths head-on, including whether Listerine or kombucha can beat a breathalyzer device (they cannot). Lyndi shares the story of a pregnant mother she helped advocate for in court, and Jesse tells the story of a man at rock bottom who A 2nd Chance bailed out when no one else would. He is now thriving. Real stories, real technology, and a real look at how one company is quietly reuniting families across Georgia and Alabama one case at a time.

Inside A 2nd Chance: How Bail Bonds and Electronic Monitoring Work Together

2 hours ago

He had money, recognition, and a career most people only dream about. Then addiction took it all. He ended up in jail in Cobb County, and not one bonding company would help him. Jesse Fellabaum got a call from his mother. He called Daniel Matalon and didn't even finish the sentence before Daniel said: Help him. A 2nd Chance posted the bond. That man is now back on top, healthy, and thriving. Jesse believes they were his last option. They took the risk when nobody else would.

No Bonding Company Would Touch Him. A 2nd Chance Said Yes Anyway.

Two and a half hours into her dream job interview, Lyndi Schmidt already knew she didn't want it. She got the offer, got on I-285, hit a standstill for 45 minutes, and called her husband in tears. The next day she turned it down. The day after that she opened her laptop and applied for a 12-hour-a-week payroll job at a bail bonds company. She is now Director of Operations at A 2nd Chance Monitoring. Sometimes the wrong dream leads you straight to the right one.

She Got Her Dream Job, Cried the Whole Way Home, and Never Showed Up

Electronic monitoring is not always a punishment. Sometimes it is the thing that keeps a family together. Lyndi Schmidt, Director of Operations at A 2nd Chance Monitoring, went before a judge and testified on behalf of a young mother facing serious criminal charges who was pregnant and scheduled to give birth in jail. The judge agreed to release her on a monitor. She got into drug classes, found a job, gave birth at home, and is now thriving. The judge counted her time on house arrest as time served.

Something special is coming to Justice Unfiltered later this month — and we couldn't wait to share this moment with you. In an upcoming episode, Daniel Matalon presents a $10,000 check to Judge Hill and Attorney Jeanette van der Linden on behalf of the A 2nd Chance Community Foundation, supporting the Excel Restorative Court (https://www.cobbcounty.gov/news/excel-restorative-court-honors-2025-cohort-graduates) — a youth program Judge Hill founded in 2022 that is changing the trajectory of young lives across our community. Through public service, educational classes, court participation, and personal growth programs, Excel gives young people a real shot at a fresh start. Complete the year-long program with no further run-ins with the law, and the District Attorney and presiding Judge wipe the record clean. This program ran unfunded for four years. A nonprofit is now up and running, and providing transportation, computer access, library resources, and mentorship to participants who need it most. This donation is just the beginning. Daniel and the A 2nd Chance Community Foundation are committed to going beyond a check and becoming active partners in building real solutions for the communities they serve. 🔔 Subscribe and stay tuned! The full episode is dropping later this month! 👉 Justice Unfiltered: https://www.thepodcastpark.com/justiceunfiltered/ #JusticeUnfiltered #CommunityImpact #RestorativeJustice #YouthAdvocacy
