Celebrating The Life and Death of Peter G. Scotese

This episode was previously recorded in 2019. In remembrance of Pete G. Scotese and the impact that he had on so many, I am releasing this again so that if you haven't seen it before, you can get to know one of the most influential people in my life.

We talk about the lessons learned from 100 years of living. Pete was raised as an orphan, became a celebrated war hero in WWII, came home to go to the Wharton School of Business, became a traveling salesman, was promoted to the CEO of the Boston Store in Milwaukee and eventually became the CEO of the largest textile manufacturing company in the world.

Pete was the Chairman Emeritus of FIT in NYC, was on the board of directors of 10 public companies and many non-profits.

Rest in peace, Pete. You will be celebrated and missed by all who may have known you.
