Description
Ted Turner's remarkable life has been shaped by his father's words: "Early to bed, early to rise, work like hell and advertise!" This philosophy drove him to become one of the most successful business executives of our time. With numerous accomplishments, including revolutionizing television with TBS and CNN, winning the America's Cup, and taking home a World Series championship trophy, Turner is a true living legend. In this candid autobiography, Turner shares his personal story, from his difficult childhood to the launch of his media empire, and beyond. He reveals surprising details about his dealings with influential people, including Fidel Castro, Mikhail Gorbachev, Jimmy Carter, Bill Gates, Jack Welch, Warren Buffett, and many more. With no holds barred, Turner takes readers on a wild ride through his experiences in business, sports, and philanthropy. From the dugout of the Atlanta Braves to the high-stakes world of international diplomacy, Turner's story is one of innovation, nonconformity, and groundbreaking achievements. This book offers a unique glimpse into the life of one of the most fascinating figures of our time.
