Publisher's summary

The largest tech companies in the world are like ships, custom built to fulfill the dreams of the visionaries at their helm. Michael Dell’s genius is execution and “Speed of Dell” is a longtime catchphrase of his employees.

This is a technology memoir about working for one of the giants in our industry. Dell Computer is a household name and everyone has heard about his UT dorm room start, but the inside story of Michael Dell’s company is a mystery to most. If you’ve ever wanted to know what it’s like to work for a technology innovator like Michael Dell, Bill Gates, or Jeff Bezos, this is the audiobook for you.

Captures the enthusiasm that drove Dell’s rise!

Having worked with the author on numerous “giant out of the box projects” creating so many new opportunities, this insight relates the intensity, innovation, and narrative from someone who believed in the Dell model as deeply as Michael himself. Working with thousands of creative individuals in my 23-year Dell career, no one else knew better how to wrangle and direct Dell’s wide resources to achieve results for his customers and peers. For anyone in Sales, Marketing, or Customer Service in any industry, this perspective captures the essential elements in what today’s business customer demands, true “solution selling”. Well told sir! - Robert "Bernie" Bernstein

Talented Writer with AMAZING story!

This is a hands down, MUST READ! Well, actually LISTEN! John has one of the most listenable voices there is and to write his own book makes it even better!

It's amazing to hear a story from someone that came so far and to be able to walk away with the amount of insight this individual accrued.

Motivating on business, family, individual and spiritual levels from a great mind!
