George built a fortune on Wall Street, founding Multinational Computer Models and selling it to Fortune 500 company SunGard Data Systems in 1998. Then he walked away from it all. Armed with a PhD from NYU Stern and decades of finance experience, he returned to India in 1995 and founded Shanti Bhavan—a residential school that takes children from extreme poverty at age four and supports them through college. The model works: 98% graduate college, 97% land jobs at Amazon, Google, and Goldman Sachs, and every single graduate earns more in five years than their parents earn in a lifetime. His parallel work on lead poisoning exposed that 51% of Indian children had toxic blood levels, triggering India's 2000 ban on leaded petrol and protecting hundreds of millions. Featured in Netflix's "Daughters of Destiny," Shanti Bhavan has directly transformed over 15,000 lives—proof that one person's strategic commitment can dismantle generational poverty. ➡️ Show Linkshttps://www.amazon.com/Mountains-Cross-Finding-Purpose-Service/dp/B0F2GK4HW9https://www.instagram.com/dr_abraham_george/ https://www.drabrahamgeorge.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/abraham-george-519315274 ➡️ Podcast SponsorsHubspot - https://hubspot.com/ ShipStation - https://www.shipstation.com/ (Code: SuccessStory)Square - https://square.com/go/success SurveyMonkey - https://www.surveymonkey.com/scott Monarch Money - https://www.monarchmoney.com (Code: Success)Claude - https://claude.ai/success Huel - https://huel.com/scott (Code: scott)Revenued - https://www.revenued.com/ NetSuite - https://netsuite.com/scottclary/ Indeed - https://indeed.com/clary ➡️ Talking Points00:00 – Intro01:25 – Did He Get Rich Just to Give It All Away?06:49 – The Near-Death Moment That Changed His Life09:28 – When Money Became the Wrong Goal11:33 – Walking Away From Success to Serve Others13:22 – Finding Purpose When You Feel Lost18:57 – Scaling Impact Without Quitting Business24:25 – Sponsor Break27:09 – Building a School With No Education Experience33:24 – A 17-Year Promise to One Child36:00 – India’s 1,500-Year-Old Caste Crisis42:35 – How Giving Changed Him44:58 – The Brutal Reality of Building Shanti Bhavan48:53 – Can Poverty and the Caste System Be Broken?51:34 – Sponsor Break53:27 – Does Shanti Bhavan Actually Work?56:25 – Why Compassion Isn’t Enough58:18 – Why He Had to Write Mountains to Cross1:01:57 – What Makes the Sacrifice Worth It1:06:15 – The One Lesson He Wants His Kids to Remember1:07:12 – What He’s Fighting for Now
