Title: S4EP5, Kidnapped by his father at 3, then orphaned, and yet, STILL MAKING A DIFFERENCE with Ed Hajim

Summary:
I could not put down either of Ed Hajim's books, "On the Road Less Traveled," and "the Island of the Four P's." Ed's story can not be put into words and yet, Ed did. His father kidnapped him, told him his mother was dead, and then left him with neighbors. He was in the foster care system, orphanages, and left alone for a month at the age of 11.

Here's the amazing part. Ed did not get bitter. He used his experiences to develop resilience and adaptability which served him for the rest of his life. That together with his "absent" father's unconditional love and positive reinforcement kept him headed towards success.

Ed had a dream to be successful, create a loving family and help people be better than they think they can be. His career will impress and astound you. His generosity will inspire you.

I believe we can all learn from Ed's story and wisdom. He is now helping 17 to 25 year olds learn how to make decisions and design their lives with his new course. Thank you, Ed, for the amazing person you are and please thank Barbara for chasing after you and being your P1 for life.

BIO
ED HAJIM is the author of the critically acclaimed memoir, On The Road Less Traveled. The son of a Syrian immigrant, he is a seasoned Wall Street executive with more than 50 years of investment experience. In 2008, after 20 years as a trustee of the University of Rochester, Hajim began an eight-year tenure as chairman of the university’s board. Upon assuming that office he gave the school $30 million—the largest single donation in its history—to support scholarships and endow the Edmund A. Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Through the Hajim Family Foundation, he has made generous donations to organizations that promote education, health care, arts, culture, and conservation. In 2015, he received the Horatio Alger Award.
