I too believe that I live in this world he speaks of.... People like him, Alex Yemenidjian (CEO MGM, CSUN Alum), and Mel Karmazin (CEO Viacom, Pace Univ Alum) but came from nothing and didn't go to Ivy League schools. Through opportunity and perserverence, they became the movers and shakers they are today.
