My guest in this episode is John Shegerian. John is the serial social entrepreneur responsible for co-founding Homeboy Industries, FinancialAid.com, Engage and many other impactful organizations. He currently serves as co-founder, Chairman and CEO of ERI, the largest recycler of electronic waste in the US.
Highlights of our conversation include hearing John describe starting his work life washing floors at the age of 10 at the dry cleaners, appreciating that all his bosses were mentors, discussing the impact of the Greed Is Good generation, and a strong encouragement to study the great leaders.
John also describes a very impressive Board of Directors at ERI, including JB Straubel who is the founder of Redwood Materials and a co-founder of Tesla, the Koo family who are the founders and owners of LG Electronics, and the aluminium production giant Alcoa.
