F O U N D A T I O N Laying the groundwork for fi nancial success
The Esquire editor provides an accessible resource
for those talented enough but not political enough to
advance in today's business landscape. McCammon
uses his personal stories — and comical missteps — as
a transplant from suburban Texas to New York City
to off er advice on the small things that no one talks
about, from conducting a business meeting in a bar
to what to not say on an elevator. Main takeaway: Be
yourself. Our diff erences make us important players
in a game driven by awkward rules. Just learn how to
handle those situations with these skills … and humor.
