Listened to this as an audiobook. This is a combination biography of the career of Bob Iger and leadership book. If you're interested in either of those things, you may like this. If you're interested in both, you'll probably like it. It's definitely a niche book, but I overall enjoyed it. Well written and lots of good advice from a leadership/entrepreneurial perspective. Things about taking risks and trusting your gut. Easier said than done but good advice. Iger's career has been speckled with interesting characters over the years which are incredibly interesting to hear about
Overall, good, but definitely niche.

An incredible story that shows with a lot of hard work and determination you can do anything. Bob breaks down all his amazing billion dollar deals and you get a real inside on some of the most influential people that he’s done business with including Steve Jobs and George Lucas.
