Imagine a single moment in time forcing you to reimagine your entire life before you were even 20 years old...
At 14,000 feet in the Himalayas, today’s guest was given a second chance—and he chose to spend it serving humanity.
Why This Episode Matters to YouIf you’ve ever felt stuck between success and significance, or wondered whether your current path is truly meaningful, this episode meets you right where you are. It explores what happens when purpose pulls louder than comfort—and what’s possible when you decide to act on it.
Why Must You Listen?Prepare to be taken from a freezing mountaintop near the China–India border—where a premature dynamite blast nearly claimed his life—to Wall Street boardrooms, successful entrepreneurship, and ultimately back to rural India.
You’ll hear how surviving the unthinkable forced him to question power, war, money, and meaning. You’ll follow his journey from soldier to economist, from building a highly successful global company to selling everything he built, and from personal ambition to founding life-changing schools for children born into extreme poverty.
At its heart, this conversation is about compassionate action. Not just feeling empathy. Not just having good intentions. But choosing to do something—especially when it’s hard, long-term, and inconvenient.
If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Am I really doing what I’m here to do?” — this episode will stay with you long after it ends.
Press play now and spend the next hour rethinking what a meaningful life can look like—and how close you already are to living one.
Dr. Abraham George is a former Indian Army officer, economist, entrepreneur, author, and humanitarian. After surviving a near-fatal explosion in the Himalayas at just 18 years old, he went on to earn multiple graduate degrees, build a globally successful company, and ultimately give it all up to serve the poorest of the poor through education. He is the founder of Shanti Bhavan Schools in India and the author of Mountains to Cross, a compelling reflection on purpose, service, and compassionate action.
