Former Homeboy Industries CEO Tom Vozzo joins The Jeremiah Show for a moving conversation about the Homeboy Way, the work of Father Greg Boyle, and the power of healing through jobs, community, and belonging. After 26 years in corporate America, Vozzo left the for-profit world and helped grow Homeboy Industries into the world’s largest gang rehabilitation and reentry program. In this episode, Tom shares why people are more than the worst thing they have ever done, how Homeboy helps formerly gang-involved and incarcerated individuals rebuild their lives, and why the launch of Homeboy Media is giving the community a new way to tell its own stories through music, podcasting, film, and art.
