Episode Description
At the age of 3, Ed Hajim is kidnapped by his father, driven cross-country, and told his mother is dead. He presses his face against the car window, watches the miles pass and wonders where life will take him. Where you’d least expect. In a memoir filled with human drama, wisdom and timeless life lessons, ON THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED: An Unlikely Journey from the Orphanage to the Boardroom tells the improbable story of how Hajim bounced from foster homes to orphanages, in a daily struggle to survive, to living the American dream as an accomplished Wall Street executive and model family man with great moral fiber and the means to give back to a world that seemed intent on rejecting him. It’s a powerful story touched with family trauma, deprivation, and adversity balanced by a life of hard work and philanthropy. “While his childhood travails of loneliness, isolation, and poverty would have broken most people, Ed channeled his survival instincts and conquered his inner demons to become a loving family man and a beloved leader of people,” says Raj Echambadi, Dunton family dean at D'Amore-McKim School of Business, Northeastern University. He has served as a senior executive at such firms as E.F. Hutton, Lehman Brothers, Furman Selz and other financial institutions, regularly transforming fledgling operations into profitable growth machines. His life accomplishments were rightfully acknowledged in 2015 with the Horatio Alger Award, given to Americans who exemplify the values of initiative, leadership, and commitment to excellence and who have succeeded despite personal adversity.
Sustainable Success
Thursday at 12PM Pacific Time on VoiceAmerica Business Channel
Have you asked yourself why your life has not unfolded the way you have envisioned! What holds you back from getting things accomplished and being successful consistently long term? The answer lies with past events which is the cause that leads to effects that many live in that keep them trapped in self-doubt that leads to procrastination. Your habits and behaviors unconsciously in adulthood are tied back to trigger events that have molded you into a pattern of self-doubt or success. It is your inner critic that has a choice of tapping into the positive or negative that dictates your habits and behaviors that either server you or not long term.
Our show focuses on how entrepreneurs and business leaders can have sustainable success at the next level. We cover a broad range of wellness and business topics, including steps to resolve the root cause to mindset barriers, and authentic leadership and living principles to operate in the solution rather than effects of the challenge.
