The Skin in the Game: Real Lessons on Risk, Capital and Leadership Nobody TeachesBy Darryl “Cajun” Centanni
Length2h 53m
About this audiobook
What does it really take to build a business when your own money, reputation, and livelihood are on the line?
So You Think You Want to Be an Entrepreneur challenges the conventional wisdom surrounding entrepreneurship and leadership. Drawing from Darryl “Cajun” Centanni’s journey from Naval Officer and aviator to founder of a government contracting and aviation company, the book explores the realities rarely taught in business school: risk, capital, leadership, failure, faith, resilience, and the responsibility that comes with having real skin in the game. Through hard-earned lessons, successes, setbacks, and rebuilding, Centanni offers a practical and candid perspective for aspiring entrepreneurs, veterans, young professionals, and anyone considering starting a business. This is not a formula for getting rich. It is a field guide to understanding the sacrifices, decisions, and leadership required to build something of your own.
