Goodbye Homeboy by Steve Mariotti

How My Students Drove Me Crazy and Inspired a Movement

After a traumatic encounter steers a former businessman into teaching in some of the toughest urban classrooms, he discovers that entrepreneurship can ignite his students’ curiosity and confidence. Through candid stories of chaos, compassion, and grit, he shows how practical business skills, high expectations, and respect helped disengaged teens find purpose and agency. The memoir traces the birth of a pioneering education movement and honors the resilience of young people who transform their lives when given the tools to build their own futures.
