**102-Year-Old CEO's Secret: Perfection in Pottery**

George Strausman works four days a week running his family's construction business. At 102, this makes him one of America's oldest active CEOs. But his true passion happens on his day off. Each week, he dedicates himself to the precise art of pottery. For Strausman, his ceramic studio is not a hobby. It is a decades-long pursuit of perfection. He focuses on mastering classic forms, like the Japanese-style tea bowl. His goal is not to sell his work, but to achieve a personal standard of flawless craftsmanship. This drive connects his two worlds. In business and at the pottery wheel, Strausman believes the same rule applies: "If you’re going to do something, do it right."
