Wait--he has a Bachelors and MBA from a middling university, just like thousands of other unexceptional people. How does that distinguish him? And he looks very young to have much of a track record--what, really, has he done? The Lake Forest Graduate School of Business is not a real school--it even had three additional (apparently fictional) degrees for Rick Horwath until I pointed that fact out to them and they removed them. This book is just one more example of business porn that people who are actually DOING something shouldn't have to read.
