What makes a 26-year-old turn down Wall Street for the west side of Chicago? In this episode of Hart & Hustle, we sit down with Ike Muzikowski—President and Principal of Chicago Hope Academy—to unpack why he walked away from Ivy League prestige to lead a faith-driven, community-centered high school. Ike shares powerful insights on education reform, building inclusive school culture, raising $5M annually, and teaching kids through dance, discipline, and deep relationships. From TikTok virality to Special Olympics impact—this is a masterclass in authentic leadership, youth mentorship, and purpose over profit.
