My Global Hustle

I’m really excited about reading this book. Ortega’s is a real life Horatio Alger story and a true inspiration who shows that with vision, passion and focus nothing can’t be accomplished. Also, check out the piece that Fortune magazine did on Ortega here. – LOM (@youngglobal)

What led him to dream up this empire? Through unprecedented access to Ortega and his closest aides, the author provides a compelling and unique biography of the man responsible for one of this century’s most extraordinary business successes.
