PART 1: MY DISRUPTIVE HERO

“I have been blessed by having many disruptive heroes — I call them guardian angels…they disrupt towards the good. The most important one was a lady called Francis Payne Bolton, a congresswoman from Ohio. A very close friend of [President] Eisenhower. 



“I was in Romania in a hard labor camp with my older brother. My parents were in New York, separated by accident by the Iron Curtain. The communists tried to blackmail my mother and father, asking them to spy for them in return for our safety. The FBI told my father to tell our story. The headlines read: Georgescu Family Being Blackmailed. Francis Bolton saw our story and went to President Eisenhower for help. 



“I owe everything to her intervention. What Frances Bolton did for me was critical to how I look on my life — for being graced to have whatever talents I’ve had and to have been given the opportunity to live in this country… This inspired me to, first of all, live my life in business in an ethical, value-driven way. That was my first way of giving back. I think being philanthropic is nice, but having the ability to live your life with integrity and values is one of the most important thing any of us can do.”

Let's Disrupt This!

Peter Georgescu reminds of of two crucial truths: 1. When put in perspective, most of the daily disruptions that most of us like to grump about really are not that bad! 2. The anchors that will help us through any disruption are… 

• Our values 

• Our integrity 

• Our dedication to that which is bigger than ourselves 

• Our guardian angels 

Draw upon those and all disruptions are manageable!
