Leading Homeboy Industries: A Radical Approach to Business and Life

For more than 30 years, Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles has been helping former prisoners and ex-gang members redirect their lives to become productive, contributing members of the community. A human services agency offering legal, mental health, and education services and more, Homeboy Industries makes second chances possible by combining practical services and hope with an unconventional approach to meeting the bottom line. Tom Vozzo, Homeboy Industries’ CEO, has led the organization for nearly 12 years with a leadership style that matches the name of his book: The Homeboy Way: A Radical Approach to Business and Life. In this episode of SoCal Voices, Vozzo, a self-described compassionate capitalist, shares how leading the Homeboy way is making a positive impact on the organization and continuing a long tradition of transforming lives.
