The story of Everett Prewitt's life could have been titled "From the Poolroom to the Boardroom," but that would tell only part of the story. Everett's journey - from the streets of Cleveland, Ohio, to the war in Vietnam, from pool halls to corporate America, to CEO - is a vivid tapestry of growth, resilience, and insight. As a Vietnam War veteran and former Army officer, Prewitt draws on a wealth of life experiences: confronting racism, building lasting relationships, facing danger, and finding humor in the everyday. His battles with bullies growing up taught him the value of persistence-a trait that would prove essential in war, in business, and all other phases of life. With unflinching observations and thoughtful reflection, Prewitt shares the moments that shaped him, offering readers hard-earned wisdom for navigating life's rough terrain.
