Why is Frisco, Texas, the fastest growing town in America? Why is Dallas the fastest growing city in America? Why are the largest American and international companies moving headquarters to Texas? The answers are simple―Dallas Got It Right! This dynamic new book by Sam Wyly, co-authored by Laurie Matthews and Andrew Wyly, offers new insights into the many reasons Dallas feeds the world, out produces the Middle East in oil and gas, and serves as an epicenter for business management, technology and investment.
Wyly’s “Dallas” goes north to Colorado Springs; east to Jackson, Mississippi; south to Aggie Land; and west to White Sands. Dallas Got It Right! is rich in history; entrepreneurial in spirit; expansive in technology; unbounded by city limits. Built on cotton, cows, oil, the military, computer technology, wholesaling and retail, Sam reminds readers that, “My Dallas feeds the world. My Dallas is the technology capital of the world. My Dallas is vital to America’s military muscle.”
Dallas Got It Right! shows readers that Dallas goes beyond Elm Street and Main Street, made up of many neighborhoods and characters. It’s a good place to live and work.

About the Author
Laurie Matthews was born and raised in Dallas. She is a life-long member of The First Church of Christ, Scientist. She has enjoyed the fruits of the concept, “All Roads Lead to Dallas,” because it brought her true love and husband David into her life from Oklahoma City. After graduating from Principia College in Elsah, Illinois, she taught English to children in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Next, Laurie explored following in her father’s footsteps by working in the customer service department of a software company. In raising their three grown children, Laurie was an active volunteer in their Montessori school. She is active in her church, serving as Clerk and Reading Room Librarian.
Andrew Wyly is an entrepreneur, investor, and film producer. Born and raised in Los Angeles, with some schooling in Switzerland, he has been a Texan by choice since 2004. After earning a bachelor’s degree in history from Denison University, Andrew worked as a sales agent for Green Mountain Energy and managed a portfolio for a hedge fund. He has continued his interest in political economics through participation with several think tanks. In 2007, he created the Andrew Wyly Film Company. Blood Shot, his first feature film, was completed last year.
