Donny Deutsch lays out the core principles that propelled him to create tremendous wealth, build a huge and influential business, and become a national personality. Using inside stories of the media, the advertising industry, and a youth spent growing up on the streets of New York, Donny gives the commonsense bottom line that he has learned along the way, broken down into real, relevant and inspiring lessons that will be useful to everyone from the front-line sales person to the middle manager to the successful corporate executive.Under Donny Deutsch’s leadership as Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Deutsch Inc., the company has grown into the nation’s premier cutting-edge advertising agency.

He is also Managing Partner of the independent film production company Deutsch Open City. In presidential politics he was a lead member of the successful Clinton/Gore communications team.
