Acknowledgments

There is no shortage of people who have helped me immensely in the writing of this book. I am indebted and very grateful to them all. If I've forgotten anyone , please know that it is unintentional. Thank you to Renee Wilmeth for having the patience of a saint and to Joan Paterson who is hands down the best editor I've ever had the privilege of working with. A very special thanks to Tony Vlamis, Florence Stone, and Tom O'Neil who believed in a young business writer and gave me more opportunities and help than I can ever repay. Thanks to mom and dad for their constant belief in and support of me. Thanks also to my brother, Art, and sister, Tina, for having enough humor to let me use them as examples. Thanks also to Tias Be-Be and Henri for betting on the dark horse.
