2006 - the 700 million dollar man
So, while snow pummels my hovel here in the
comfy bosom of the Sierras -- a continent away from where Gary basks in tropical
warmth -- I’m gonna let you in on a big damn
secret.
Namely... almost everything Gary has been telling
you over the years...
Is True.
I know. I was
there for much of the mayhem, chaos and adventure.
Watching, participating, sometimes
rescuing... and always, always learning. (The stories I can’t
vouch for are mostly about his past sex life. I’m pretty sure he’s
exaggerating, or at the very least deluded.)
My years hanging out with Halbert
were an astonishing ride. Wealth, fame, disaster, discovery and one amazing
marketing adventure after another.
It will truly be a shame if I go to that Big Ad
Agency In The Sky before he does, because I
won’t get to write that shocking biographical expose I’ve been
threatening him with for a decade.
And, despite the fact I’m over 13
years younger, I wouldn’t bet on him going first, either -- the man has
the health and determination of a prime bull. He still has more piss and
vinegar in him that most twenty-something’s I know.
I think the bastard is gonna outlive us all,
just for spite.
Anyway, what I have to share with you here is
vastly important for anyone who’s been following Gary... and who
is just itching to finally dive into your own entrepreneurial adventure
of hitting it rich... or to put your existing biz on hyper-overdrive and
finally start sucking up the major fungolas that have been eluding you.
