The Smoking Tire

Roger Farah is back to answer your business (and life) questions! His last appearance was so popular we just had to have him back, so here's  90 minutes of fan questions about business, entrepreneurship, how to get ahead, why being curious is important, staying cool in tough situations, taking your shot, and more. There's great lessons here for anyone, no matter what job you have. Roger has been a heavy-hitter in the world of business and retail. His career started in department stores, working his way up at Saks Fifth Avenue until moving on to become the CEO of Rich's/Goldsmith's Department Stores (retailing) and President of Rich's/Goldsmith's Department Stores from 1987 to 1988. He was the CEO of Foot Locker in the '90s and then was President and COO of Ralph Lauren for over a decade. Buy Innova tools at all major automotive retailers, Amazon and https://www.Innova.com to find the problem AND fix the problem. Go to https://www.blackvue.com/TST and use the promo code TIRE to get 10% off of any BlackVue dashcam.
