AN ARTICLE A DAY, PICKED BY OUR EDITORS
As much as America is the land of opportunity for many, it is also a place with great inequality. According to Tom Vozzo, CEO of Homeboy Industries, there are two Americas: “the America that most of us live in, and then the America that the poor and the marginalized—the demonized people—live in.” In a new episode of Author Talks, Vozzo talks about his journey from corporate executive to leading the world’s largest gang rehabilitation and reentry program. Hear what he has to say—and explore how we can apply these life lessons to helping disenfranchised people move forward in life.

Author Talks: A tale of two Americas
Tom Vozzo spent 26 years as a top executive before pivoting to a nonprofit that rehabilitates gang members. The philosophies that help them reenter society, he says, would help corporate America too.

Quote of the Day
“Growth increases our incomes and our standards of living. It increases security and resilience, poverty alleviation, and education, so there are many positive associations. But growth touches on inequality because skills bias leads to a dispersion of income, so growth also promotes the wealth of the people at the bottom of society.”
Sven Smit, McKinsey senior partner, on creating a path to sustainable and inclusive growth in a recent episode of the Inside the Strategy Room podcast
