➡️ Like The Podcast? Leave A Rating: https://ratethispodcast.com/successstory Dr. Abraham M. 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.

After she and her husband Sam eliminated over $460,000 in debt (including $280,000 in student loans), Jade discovered that personal finance isn't about spreadsheets and calculations—it's about the lies we tell ourselves and the behaviors we refuse to change. That insight became her bestselling book Money's Not a Math Problem and the foundation of her coaching philosophy: 80% of financial success is behavior, only 20% is knowledge.

Now over 17 years sober, he's become a fierce advocate for recovery, speaking globally about mental health and addiction while running the Aiming High Foundation, where 100% of proceeds fund treatment for those fighting the same demons he conquered.
