Pinny Gniwisch: Harvard OPM participant, entrepreneur, and storyteller.

In this powerful episode of Case Studies, host Casey Baugh dives deep into the extraordinary life of Pinny Gniwisch, a Harvard OPM participant, entrepreneur, and storyteller. Pinny opens up about his family’s harrowing history during the Holocaust, including his father’s miraculous survival in Siberia and their journey to rebuild a life of faith, family, and hope.

From his early days studying to become a rabbi and teaching youth, to his groundbreaking success in launching an online jewelry business during the dot-com boom, Pinny’s journey is one of resilience, adaptability, and the power of reframing challenges. He recounts key moments, including listening to Zig Ziglar’s tapes at 17, developing an entrepreneurial mindset, and the pivotal lesson he learned about leading with love—even in the face of anti-Semitism.

Pinny shares touching personal stories, like reconnecting with his father’s legacy during a visit to Auschwitz, his first encounter with his future wife through a community matchmaker, and his father’s emotional pride at a family Passover gathering. With reflections on the importance of family, faith, and staying curious, Pinny inspires listeners to embrace their own challenges with grace and grit.

Join us for an unforgettable conversation about resilience, faith, and the enduring power of legacy to shape a life of meaning and purpose.
