Chris Haroun is a successful venture capitalist and an award-winning MBA professor and has had the opportunity in his career to meet with the top CEOs, entrepreneurs, and investors in the world, including Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Marc Benioff, and the CEOs of most large technology companies. This book is an amalgamation of business advice that Chris has compiled from his many meetings with successful business people over the past two decades as well as observations of why brilliant entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg have become incredibly successful.
