Publisher's Summary
Paul McGowan tells all (and then some) in this riotous tale of misbegotten success that’s 99 percent true in all the best ways. From his not-so-innocent youth growing up in the shadow of Disneyland and summer evenings in the innocent 1950s, to his dope-smoking, snake-eating, draft-dodging, loony-bin misadventure through Europe, to his struggles to build a thriving enterprise from a stack of dusty albums - see how the CEO of a worldwide company took 50 years to become an overnight success.
Unlike Paul, you may never get picked up by the secret service or carry the shame of bankruptcy, but you just might see yourself in his repeated failures or in his refusal to let life keep him down. You’ll laugh and you’ll cry as Paul describes the struggle of finding his place in a community you never knew existed. Through it all, you’ll discover what Paul did: life’s detours offer the best opportunities to find your way.

Beautiful writing, Beautifully read
Loved it. First audio book I really ‘binged’. A great story teller, and unlike other audiobooks, is in the first person - my previous book was written like a newspaper article- lots of ‘, said Paul’, which I found frustrating. Being a music and electronics nerd too it was up my alley. What a rich life!

perfect, inspiring and just wonderful
from start to finish this was great. it's the first book in a while that didn't get to a sluggish pace. it stayed at a great pace all the way through. captivating, interesting, educational, and just so heart warming. the passion and love this man has for not only audio but his friends and family, especially his wife completely feeds my soul. I feel I really understand who this man is and what he's about. I truly wait to meet him and had inspired and motivated me to continue working on my audio projects and work towards building up my own audio company, as he has.
I truly loved this book, honestly.
