Dear Readers:

Thank you for visiting straightfromthegut.com. I hope you'll find the site a useful tool to learn more about the book.

I've tried to write a candid book of my life's experiences, a book from the gut that includes my mistakes and what I've learned from them. I've naturally been through a lot over the 40 years I've been in business. With the lessons I learned from a ton of great experiences, coupled with a good bit of luck, I've managed to get back on the horse time and time again. In the end, that's a lot of what life and business are all about.

I love to engage people in a discussion of ideas. I don't manage - I've always felt my job was to get the best out of others. I hope this book will energize and engage people in their organizations, to tap into that incredible well of potential and passion. Everyone wants the chance to do their thing, to grow, to flourish, to reach their dreams. That's what I believe leadership is all about.

I've tried not to be pedantic in writing the book. If you choose to read it, I hope you'll come away feeling like I'm a guy who sat next to you and shared some useful stories.

Thanks for your interest in "Straight From The Gut". I hope you enjoy it.
