YNN interviewed CEO Jim McElya about his life as a homeless child who now has been instrumental in helping get the SAY Clinic in Detroit off the ground. He works closely with Mitch Albom.


We need more CEOs like this guy. It is rare to hear a CEO express such empathy for the poor.

5. Your point?
That's fairly normal for a CEO. What's unusual is their giving back.
