VT Editor’s Note: This is a true story of how a Vegas businessman survives Brooklyn, the Marines, Corruption, and Cancer to Achieve the American Dream. This book is part memoir and part primer for entrepreneurs who wish to start a business in Southern Nevada, one of the most corrupt regions of the country. Growing up in Brooklyn and being in the Marines did prepare the author for life’s challenges and the subsequent battle with esophageal cancer solidified his resolve to overcome obstacles, even those that seemed insurmountable. While reading this book you will learn about the author’s early life growing up in Brooklyn and about the time he spent in the Marine Corps. Enduring the challenging, early times of his life gave him the toughness to become a business owner. His toughest battle would be the battle with cancer and not just cancer but a type of cancer that has a low survival rate. Business school will not teach you all of the life lessons you will need to succeed in opening your own business. Coury describes how hard it was to maintain ethics within the atmosphere where corruption was “business as usual.” Think of this as an insider’s view into political and police corruption, bribery, coercion, and death threats…..Carol
