Synopsis

Getting There: Profiles in Overcoming Obstacles and Connecting for Success

At some point or another, each of us will get stuck professionally. Our hopes and dreams will sit idle as we contemplate our next move, unsure how to move forward. When this happens, what will you do? In Getting There: Profiles in Overcoming Obstacles and Connecting for Success, veteran South Florida branding strategist, business coach, author, and speaker Chuck Malkus offers portraits of resilience and connection that will inspire you to put doubt aside and go after your dreams. The first part of the book profiles ten people from diverse industries and walks of life who beat back serious adversity-whether physical, emotional or both to achieve success. This group includes, among others, renowned LSU baseball coach Paul Mainieri; consumer insights app creator and Forbes “30 Under 30” selection Nadia Masri; health food entrepreneurs Neter Alkebulan and Trendolyn Hopkins, creators of the popular Banana Wave beverage; and pioneering Wake Forest University surgeon Dr. Anthony Atala, one of the world’s leading specialists in regenerative medicine.

The second part gives an account of Chuck’s colorful, only-in-South-Florida career. From being hired to outwit Fidel Castro to masterminding the world’s first Gila monster race tourney to hobnobbing with legendary baseball coach Earl Weaver during the inaugural season of the Senior Professional Baseball League, Chuck has seen it all and lived to tell the tale. Yet throughout his professional life, adhering to the principles of going with your gut, always serving others, and never neglecting to make strategic connections ensured he never strayed far off his chosen path.

Jam-packed with hard-won wisdom that can be applied by anyone in any life situation, Getting There just may help you get where you need to go.
