How far would you go to seal the ultimate deal?
In Richard E. Tomlinson’s case, it seemed that nothing could get in his way. But his hubris would lead him to some disastrous results.
His confidence bolstered by his previous successes in broadcasting, marketing, and finance, this seasoned businessman decides to travel into uncharted territory. So he develops a worldwide enterprise in a business he has absolutely no experience in: Black Angus cattle.
After partnering up with the largest Angus breeder in the country, Tomlinson’s new enterprise takes him from the UK to Hungary to Belize.
However, things at home aren’t what they seem, and Tomlinson soon finds himself resorting to some very desperate measures to save his $22 million European deal.
Comprising a ten-year slice in the middle of his career, Hustling With Hubris is the autobiographical story of Tomlinson’s unique business experience and the tough lessons he learned along the way.
Whether you’re a business or law student seeking to learn from someone else's experience, or you're just looking for an entertaining true story, this gripping account contains plenty of twists and turns—as well as a surprise ending you won’t forget!
Richard E. Tomlinson has a wide range of experience in the business world in areas that include sales, management, ownership, finance, and marketing.
After working at Ford Motor Company for a time, he entered the world of broadcasting, becoming the vice president general manager of WJAR-TV in Providence, Rhode Island. He then became the president of Craftsman Graphics before returning to broadcasting as an entrepreneur. Also notable are his experiences as president of Kasko Enterprises and managing director of Triune Capital.
The most unique slice of his career, however, was his venture into the Black Angus cattle industry—a period which he has documented in his book Hustling With Hubris.
Tomlinson is a proud father of five, grandfather of seven, and great-grandfather of one. In addition to his family, he considers his Christian faith the most important part of his life."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
