"That's when it hit me. The voices of my teachers were clear. And what they said to me changed the course of not just my work, but my life. Their advice led me to discover and represent tremendous talent, pioneer new ways of doing business, and have my work recognized throughout the entertainment industry. More importantly, their guidance has made me a better husband, and father, and friend. What I realized that day is what this book is all about."

Harry Abrams (Founder and Former Chairman/CEO, Abrams Artists Agency) delivers a detail-oriented blueprint of how to succeed in the talent agency business whether you are just getting started or a seasoned professional. Citing specific examples of how he came to work with greats just as Eddie Albert presenting a commercial spot for The Lipton Tea Company when Harry was just out of the MCA mailroom to household names including Jennifer Lopez and Liam Neeson, Harry presents a step-by-step outline of his experience helping his clients achieve their best.

Integrity and trust play crucial roles in developing talent and business relationships no matter what may be happening in a turbulent industry or economy. Staying true to these maxims help provide a foundation for building success.

Narrated by multi-award-winning narrator Daniel Henning.

A wonderful read!

So glad that Harry Abrams finally went to press about himself. He has spoken of writing a book for so long, and while this is not exactly what I was expecting, it’s a wonderful read! Harry is so humble, charming, resilient, caring, and an incredible businessman and human being. You can’t really say that about too many successful men I bet but Harry is all of that and more. It was a joy to read this book and to have Harry’s wisdom in black and white for posterity. Personally, I hope he writes a second book that’s just about his own personal life because Harry Abrams is so interesting, witty, funny, wise, charming, and while much of this is captured, there is even more to be shared and treasured about the one and only, Harry Abrams!

Classy and intelligent all the way

I listened to this book twice, I liked it so much. I live in LA, and this might be my last year here; so, I go for these long drives, and I listened to this book twice while cruising around. Life and career insight from a guy who could have been a partner at CAA but decided to start his own thing, which would be an iconic Hollywood agency in its fifty year history - one that represented stars and made a few big careers, too. I worked at Abrams at the end of Harry’s tenure, after he sold the agency to Adam Bold, and he was such a nice, classy man. You’re in good hands with this book - go for a drive!
