“Stephen Cloobeck's book covers the life of a modern day business genius. I've known him for decades, and he has never changed. He is cocky, self-assured, aggressive, arrogant, self-confident, and always focused. He's not afraid to confront anyone (including me) when he feels it's appropriate. But when all the brashness passes, and it does quickly, one sees a person with a social conscience, a person who is known for his generosity. Stephen Cloobeck is a good person, a creator of thousands of jobs, an innovator, and to many, a friend.”
-Harry Reid
