The Big Picture: Essential Business Lessons from the Movies Paperback - 2010

Kevin Coupe has been a working writer all his professional life. For the past decade, he's had his own website/blog, Morning News Beat, providing what he calls business news in context, and analysis with attitude. In addition to speaking at hundreds of conferences in the U.S. and abroad and reporting from 45 states and six continents, Kevin has been a newspaper reporter, video producer, actor, bodyguard, clothing salesman, supervised a winery tasting room, ran two marathons (slowly), drove a race car (badly), took boxing lessons (painfully), and acted in a major (and obscure) motion picture. Kevin is married with three children and lives in Connecticut. Michael Sansolo has traveled around the world one supermarket at a time, yet stopped to climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Great Wall of China, and Pikes Peak. A native New Yorker, Sansolo is a consultant and frequent speaker for the food retail industry, and is a contributing editor and weekly columnist for MorningNewsBeat.com, a daily newsletter on the retail industry. Sansolo was the senior vice president of the Food Marketing Institute and was editor-in-chief of Progressive Grocer magazine. Favorite book: The Big Picture (of course), and The Great Gatsby; favorite food: Sal's Pizza; favorite team: the Mets; favorite movies: read The Big Picture! Sansolo, his family, and his very annoying beagle live in the suburbs of Washington, DC.
