My father never got the chance to tell his story, passing away soon after starting his autobiography. I was too young to understand how difficult it must have been to leave his career behind in the Soviet Union, moving to a new country where he didn't know the people or the language.
As an entrepreneur that grew up in the United States, I never doubted my ability to choose. Choose what I wanted to learn, the job I wanted to pursue, or the business I wanted to create.
But, in 1958 Soviet Belarus choice was an illusion for most. Despite this, my father was able to figure out how to do what he truly loved at a very young age, becoming a renown education reformist and launching one of the most successful experimental school systems in all of the former Soviet Union, helping thousands of families along the way.
My twin brother and I decided to publish a series of podcast episodes to help tell our father's story, hoping that his success as a Jew in an oppressive communist country can motivate others to find their purpose and follow their path.
The story begins at the start of World War II, and how a fortunate accident helped his family avoid being captured by the Nazis. We take you through his teens and early twenties, highlighting how our father found his love of working with the youth, and what he did to become an educator despite having no experience or connections in the field of education.
His resourcefulness and willingness to provide value for others while expecting nothing in return was the most important theme of his career. We could all benefit from shifting our mindset to focus on value creation first.
Over the next few weeks we will be chronicling the story of his career, and how a young man with a 9th grade education went on to become a sought after speaker, innovator, and reformist, earning his PhD along the way.
