## Resource

This episode takes a meaningful turn from the usual sales conversations. John sits down with Kim Nicholas , Executive Director of Genesys Works Chicago , to talk about creating real opportunity for underserved youth and how businesses benefit in the process. From her own upbringing in Chicago’s public school system to launching one of the first charter schools in the area, Kim has been on a lifelong mission to bridge the gap between potential and access . Now through Genesys Works, she’s helping high school students step directly into paid internships with major companies—developing job skills, confidence, and careers. Kim shares the “Discipline Life” framework she created—rooted in self-perception, respect for others, and productive persistence—and explains how this mindset is transforming lives and communities. If you’re looking for a story about belief, purpose, and the real ROI of doing good , this conversation is for you.
