Hello everyone!
I am delighted to announce the upcoming release of an outstanding new book that I think is best described as a “business thriller.” Written by restaurant company CEO and businessman extraordinaire Scott Barnett, GUMPTION: Taking Bubba Gump from Movie to Restaurant tells the story of the creation, development, and rise to success of the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company restaurant chain from the unique, insightful, and wryly humorous perspective of its founding CEO. Much more than just a business or brand-building how-to book, GUMPTION is a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at both restaurants and Hollywood, as well as just being a truly interesting story.
The book will be available in hardcover and e-book formats on May 15, 2015, with a national book signing tour to follow. San Diego’s stop will be on Thursday, May 21, at 7:30pm, at Warwick’s in La Jolla (http://www.warwicks.com/event/scott-barnett-gumption). For more information about the author or the book, please visit the official GUMPTION website at http://www.scottbarnettassociates.com/.
I’ll be at the book signing to get my copy, and I hope you’ll join me…this is one must-read you don’t want to miss!
