Kingsway is a never-quit blueprint from poverty to success told by Christopher R. King. This inspiring book illustrates his exciting rags to riches journey, through page-turning stories. A tenth-grade dropout, who was raised by a single mother, King didn’t follow a typical path to his self-made achievements. He found business mentorship from unusual sources and became involved with the rapidly exploding hip-hop movement coming out of New York City. King, an ambitious entrepreneur, quickly moved from concert promotions to owning a nightclub; his successes include the creation of sold-out shows with artists like 50 Cent. After a tragic accident to a close friend, King gave up his bulletproof vest for a three-piece suit and went on to build a real estate empire all before the age of twenty-six.
He shares detailed stories of the financial crash of 2008 and how he had to face adversity in order to once again build a second fortune. King shows us how his trials and failures became learning tools and showcases the mindset you need to get up and keep going. These intimate narratives further tell of how he created a variety of successful ventures; he cofounded an ultra-premium wine called King of Clubs with legendary Napa Valley winemaker Robert Mondavi Jr. and then went on to build an Italian-made luxury accessories business with a roster of celebrity and A-list clients around the world. He is a different breed of entrepreneur and demonstrates that anything is possible when you set your mind to it.
Kingsway is the hopeful chronicle of hard lessons, ultimately designed to provide a road map toward self-reliance and generational excellence. With a deep belief in himself and an abiding faith in God, King shows us how he has overcome obstacles and failures.
King’s story is a testament to the power of the human spirit. You will get a behind-the-scenes look at how, despite his lack of formal education and unassuming upbringing, he would discover his passion and calling, at the urging of close friend and business partner Rob Dyrdek. More than anything, King’s pursuit of his ideals is rooted in a singular obsession, the quest for a return to the Art of the Gentleman. His story is both inspiring and entertaining.
Reviews
“Chris King is a combination of true passion, pure grit, and relentless drive. His story is proof that if you never give up, you will find your true calling.”
– Rob Dyrdek
CEO, Dyrdek Machine, TV & Media Personality
“I’ve known Chris for over a decade. His drive and execution have always astonished me! His ability to find the details in the details makes him second to none! This book is a must read!!!”
– Dolvett Quince
Host of NBC’s The Biggest Loser; Health and Fitness Expert
“Christopher embodies what the pioneering American spirit is all about: perseverance, resilience, and ingenuity. I’ve rarely met a man who appreciates the finer things in life as much as he does. Any wine lover would appreciate these stories.”
– Carlton McCoy Jr.
Heitz Cellar, Napa Valley; CEO & Master Sommelier
“Christopher King has an insatiable appetite in his quest for excellence. I had the distinct pleasure of introducing him to the sport of polo. King was quick to learn, but further, displayed true grit and an obsessive dedication that seems to serve him well in nearly every life pursuit.”
– Shane Baum
Leisure Society; Founder & Designer
“There was always a way... THE KINGS WAY. It’s funny, because whenever I would tell him something, he seemed to know the answer before I could tell him whether he was right or wrong. That takes courage and belief, which are the two most important keys to success.”
– Kenny Burns
Entertainment Executive, TV & Radio Host
