What an excellent read!! Straightforward and extremely transparent, Marc Ecko (fashion designer, entrepreneur, investor, artist, and philanthropist) tells you his story of becoming an entrepreneur from the beginning. He holds nothing back – from his youth which was the platform for what developed into his first business venture, to the expansive(and very expensive) mistakes made to the bullshit and politics of marketing & branding that no one ever writes about to his currently lucrative multiple businesses. Marc shares it all and reminds us that with tenacity and creativity, even the most insurmountable challenges in business are just the other side of the coin to massive success. Fun, informative, refreshingly honest – this book is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Check it out here.
