Summary

With energy and wit, Tim Phillips takes us through the top business brains of our time to show the human behind the headlines, and the oversized impact of their businesses on the world today. From Oprah to Mark Zuckerberg, he describes how they made it, what their legacy is, and in some cases how they lost it all.
