Now, That’s What I Call a REVOLT!
On June 19th, 2009, I turned 57 years old. The day after that was my graduation from business school – I was awarded my MBA in Finance and Leadership from NYU’s Stern School of Business. On that day, I was elated. As my name was called to go up on the dais to receive my... »
