Saul Landers, better known as “CEO Big Duke”, creates opportunities in his native Philadelphia to give back to the community that raised him, reports Mike Jerrick for FOX 29 Philadelphia.

He buys properties in Southwest Philadelphia to build up the area. He also often hosts community events that provide various resources to those in need.

Landers started working at a young age, doing whatever he thought would bring in some money for himself and his mother, including selling sodas in front of the Philadelphia Zoo.

Later he started doing marketing for the HMBL brand and was able to buy his first house at the age of 20.

Today, he is helping “young adults transition from high school to different” careers, he said.
