“Before I read this book, I already knew that my cousin Julie was a brilliant leader who had expertly guided our family’s business through times of both growth and crisis. But what I did not know was that she is also a killer writer, capable of chronicling Premier’s (and our family’s) ups and downs with razor-sharp wit, priceless wisdom, and, of course, laugh-out-loud humor. This book is as enjoyable to read as it is valuable in its expertise.”
