SHUT UP AND LISTEN! Hard Business Truths that Will Help You Succeed

Accomplished businessman Tilman Fertitta, who hosts CNBC’s reality series “Billion Dollar Buyer,” employs his staccato baritone in this blunt primer on entrepreneurial leadership skills. Liberally dosed with braggadocio, his audio performance is consistently engaging. This overall tone in both content and narration is somewhat bold and coarse. Clearly, Fertitta is a no-nonsense person, and this audiobook reflects his temperament. The owner of Landry’s, Inc., which includes the restaurants Morton’s and Mastro’s as well as the Houston Rockets, emphasizes his somewhat pessimistic approach to overcoming business obstacles. Never be fearful of them, he says, but always worry about maintaining success. W.A.G. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2019]
