Bill Gerstein has had a long career in education and in business. Most recently Bill led a major effort for the Chicago Public Schools to create a comprehensive community engagement strategy in the Humboldt Park community. Prior to that, he was the co-founder and principal of two small high schools. One was the School of Entrepreneurship, a small high school located within the South Shore High School campus in Chicago. In 2007 he left South Shore to start the Austin Polytech Academy in the Austin community. Mr. Gerstein was a high school social studies teacher and track coach for eight years before he became the owner/operator of a small chain of supermarkets (Mr. G. Finer Foods) in Chicago. While in business, Mr. Gerstein became actively involved in many community activities on the South Side of Chicago including public schools. In 1996 Mr. Gerstein sold his business as part of an effort to expand into a bigger location. After running a community-based organization, he obtained a master's degree in school administration. Working with the community and teachers he helped organize four small schools within South Shore High School as the school converted its structure from a comprehensive model to a campus of autonomous small high schools.Bill currently works as a senior advisor to Leadership Greater Chicago.

She is #DopePeople and she is the first person ever interviewed on Dope People Podcast.As a South Side Chicago native, born and raised in the Englewood community, Beulah Mcloyd provides nearly two decades of educational experience, offering leadership skills and instruction to the youth. As a principal for nearly 10 years, Beulah continues to reach new heights in transforming schools and reinventing herself to take on new and exciting challenges. Prior to her education experience, Beulah got an early start in witnessing the Chicago Public School system, as she saw her mom as an instructor for CPS. And, although she wasn’t a product of CPS, her life's work has been about leveling the playing field, so that no matter what a child's zip code or economic status might be, he/she would have access to high-quality education.  As a dedicated, self-proclaimed advocate of high-quality education, Beulah is fully committed to ensuring the schools she touches and transforms are world-class success the urban community deserves.To catch up with Beulah visit https://www.BeulahMcLoyd.net and all things @beulahmcloyd on social media.For Dope People merchandise, visit https://scottsteward.com/merch
