Forbes Books

  • Apr 2019 - Present

  Ghostwriter (billed on cover) for "Fisch Tales: The Making of a Millennial Baby Boomer" (August 2019) and "Get a Life: A Roadmap to Rule the World" (January 2023), both authored by Bob Fisch, under imprint of Forbes Books (MillennialBabyBoomer.com). Both titles focus on career and life lessons that can be learned from "mutual mentoring" and "generation-splicing," based on the experiences of the founding CEO of what was, at one point, the largest specialty apparel retail chain (1,200 stores) in America, rue21. Creating the persona of Millennial Baby Boomer (TM), Bob Fisch's motto is "I teach them business. They teach me life." As he discovered in his 50s, no matter to which generation you belong, if you proceed with a practical plan, with clear purpose, and with relentless resolve, "the best is yet to come." Show less
