Dennis  Pitocco takes us through the highlights and low points along his “solopreneurial” journey, from “banker to publisher” and beyond. Along the way, he’ll share candid insights into pivotal decisions, lessons learned and wisdom gained. Whether you’re a “millennial” thinking about launching a new venture from scratch or a corporate professional seeking insights into how to climb (or perhaps “leap”) the corporate ladder, you’ll capture the fundamentals here. Don’t expect cliché’s, jargon “corporate speak” or vague concepts, but rather a dose of “reality” for those looking for a mix of invaluable candor, “can-do” and inspiration.
