Tom Vozzo's journey from corporate executive to CEO of Homeboy Industries demonstrates how leadership built on authentic relationships can transform lives, particularly for those society has most marginalized.

• Leaving a 26-year corporate career after questioning whether shareholder value should always come before employee welfare
• Discovering that former gang members and previously incarcerated individuals make excellent employees when given proper support
• Building an organization where two-thirds of management came from the formerly incarcerated population they serve
• Creating a community focused on healing trauma rather than punishing past mistakes
• Challenging businesses to hire from marginalized populations as part of their community commitment
• Breaking conventional leadership wisdom by treating people individually rather than worrying about precedent
• Finding deeper spirituality through serving others and witnessing their transformation
• Learning that people want to work hard and succeed when given genuine opportunities
• Recognizing that effective leaders find joy through others' success rather than personal achievement
