Entrepreneurial Life tells the fascinating history of CaptiveAire, the largest commercial kitchen ventilation company in North America. From the beginning, CaptiveAire's story is not a typical one. Forged by Bob Luddy during a growing recession, with little capital, and as a newcomer to the region-his startup should not have survived, much less taken the trajectory it has had. In these pages, Luddy shares some of the values he learned as one of eight children in a "hard-scrabble, can-do" family and details his take on the type of leadership, innovation, financial management, and marketing strategy that has spurred his manufacturing company to grow at a remarkable pace over the course of forty-plus years at the helm. Entrepreneurial Life reveals Luddy's philosophy on all things entrepreneurship, character, and the skills necessary for achieving your fullest potential, no matter what your calling.
