When the Door Is Closed, Go Through the Window: With "LT" Lu EP 276

Shownotes What do you do when the door is closed? Do you keep pushing against it? Walk away? Or look for another way in? For LT Lu, the answer is simple: When the door is closed, go in through the window. On this episode of The Cool Grandpa Podcast, I talk with LT Lu, author of In Through the Window: On Forging Your Own Path to Success, about resilience, overcoming obstacles, finding your own path, and helping the next generation develop the confidence to solve problems for themselves. LT's story is remarkable. Born in China in the 1960s during the Cultural Revolution, LT grew up in circumstances where higher education was largely unavailable. He became the fourth student from his village to attend college, eventually making his way to the United States and building a career as a global business leader. He later experienced another major "closed door" in his mid-50s when he lost his executive position following the acquisition of GE Appliances. Instead of simply looking for another executive job, LT saw an opportunity. He started his own company, NAVAC, which he describes as becoming an industry leader in HVAC tools. That experience became one of the real-life examples behind his philosophy: A closed door is not a closed future.
