From a low-income neighborhood in the south side of the Windy City, a.k.a. City of Broad Shoulders and deep-dish pizza, Shelton Banks has turned a blue-collar hustle into a white collar hoodie. This brilliant CEO of Rework Training discusses how to rework the wage gap and empower overlooked communities by infusing philanthropy into business development.
