We are joined by author and prominent Canadian business writer David Thomas. David has been writing about businesses for decades for various publications, including the Financial Post, the Globe and Mail, MoneySense and Macleans. David recently released his first book, "The Fairfax Way: Inside Prem Watsa's Secret to Lasting Success" which documents the history of one of Canada's most successful companies.
During our "Chat" with David, we discuss:
- How was David able to build a relationship with Prem Watsa which ultimately resulted in the terrific book on the entire history of Fairfax.
- David provides some perspectives on Prem Watsa who arrived in Canada from India with $8 in his pocket and ultimately became one of Canada's most successful entrepreneurs.
- How was Fairfax able to become so successful through leveraging their core values of "Fair and Friendly"?
David's book on "The Fairfax Way" is a must read for anyone looking to learn about one of Canada's most successful companies. I hope everyone enjoys the "Chat".
