Billionaire entrepreneur
John Catsimatidis,
owner and CEO of the Red
Apple Group,
reveals how his instincts and common sense have propelled
him to massive business success in this detailed account of
an incredible
rags-to-riches story.
Born on the small Greek island of Nisyros,
John Catsimatidis
immigrated to the States with his family and quickly became
a true New Yorker, raised in Harlem.
He went to school by day and worked in a small grocery store
by night to help his parents pay the bills until, just eight
credits short of graduating from New York University, he
opted to work
in the grocery business full-time.
Today, that grocery business has become the
Red Apple Group,
a conglomerate with interests in energy,
real estate,
aviation,
baseball, entertainment,
and media, including the iconic radio station WABC,
where John hosts leading figures in government,
politics, business,
and economics.
As
Catsimatidis
has discovered, the American Dream doesn’t come with
an instruction manual—
or even a sign to let you know when you’ve arrived
at the finish line.
How
Far Do You Want to Go?
tells
Catsimatidis’s
dynamic story,
from his beginnings in the grocery business to entering the political
arena, including a New York City mayoral campaign.
He’s tried his hand at nearly everything,
but he’s far from finished with his adventures.
Now, he offers readers a glimpse into the wisdom he’s gained
—and the excitement he has for what the future holds in
store. |
