Today Robert Renteria is the Co-Founder of WashPro USA, but spent his infancy sleeping in a chest of drawers in a one room bachelor apartment in East L.A. Robert Renteria is a man who has devoted his life to people who need a break; who takes their hands and shows them how to get out of the armpit of our barrios and ghettos and break the cycle of poverty. Listen below to this special Y Talk interview as we speak with Robert about how he is changing lives and his groundbreaking book From the Barrio to the Boardroom.

Note: If you are an educator, principal, parent, community or corporate leader, I highly recommend that you buy this book by the truckload for your school, community, Boys and Girls Club or local organization. It is truly inspiring and gives hope and inspiration to those young men and women who think they don’t have a chance in life!

I had a great discussion this past week on the topic of retaining top, young, talented workers with Barbara Penn Atkins, who previously owned and operated for an Executive Recruiting Firm and a Data Processing Service Bureau for 15 years.

Currently, Barbara is President of Penna Group in Phoenix Arizona
She works with individuals who are 2Young2Retire and have a desire to master life changes; and transition from where they are currently to a higher level of personal fulfillment.
