What others are saying about Green Weenies.

• “Mandatory reading for all entrepreneurs, deal junkies, and rainmakers big and small!”
  William Santana Li, Chairman and CEO, The NORTH Company

  Nancy Watkins, former Mayor and NE Tarrant Chamber Board Chair

• “This collection of terms cost me millions to learn over 30 years of investing, management and consulting. Sturgeon has accelerated that curve by 30 years short of a few hours. A must read for ANY business person, dealmaker, business student or investor.”
  Gregory A. Winfield, Greg Winfield Consulting

• “Visitors to another country find a phrase book invaluable when they don't speak the language. If you're venturing into the strange land of business, here's your phrase book. It will tell you what you need to know to sound like you belong there and aren't just a tourist. Green Weenies is the definitive guide to that language, and should be required reading in any MBA program.”
  Brian Farrington, Attorney (labor law)

• “For the seasoned industry veteran or department intern -- this book has captured the shamefully funny “lingo" of the boardrooms and war rooms in organizations across the globe. This book would make a perfect gift for the MBA grad!”
  Pam Lewis, Associate Director for Development, The University of Texas Medical School at Houston

• “Ron Sturgeon reveals the secret language of the corporate madhouse with uproarious results in the most trenchant inside-track survey this side of Herman Melville’s Bartleby. Gahan Wilson’s cartoons capture ideally the nervous absurdity of the board-room demimonde.”
  Michael H. Price, Arts Editor, The Fort Worth Business Press

• “This is a MUST-HAVE reference book for any serious entrepreneur and businessperson -- a very fun read.”
  Michael T. Quintos, Serial Entrepreneur and CEO, First Salvage

• “Green Weenies, written by a successful self-made entrepreneur who understands the business complexities in the dialect of corporate jargon, while appreciating the humor (and sometimes absurdness) of the language we've created. An "insider's" knowledge with the refreshing perspective of an "outsider". Entertaining, yet a valuable reference asset.”
  Kevin R. Smith, Partner, Corporate Revitalization Partners

• Kudos to Green Weenies. Finally, a valuable tool for women that decodes the language of the “old boy network.”
  Cheryl Georg, Principal, WorldGroup Advisory, Media and Branding Solutions

• Green Weenies is now required reading in my company as a guide for all deal folks, and provides another way for my team in mezzanine lending to say something that may be received better utilizing the terms. Ron Sturgeon has a gem here that should be a manual for the buy side and the investing side of all deals.
  Brian G Reynolds, Managing Partner, Chatham Capital

• “Thanks to the resourceful and imaginative Ron Sturgeon, we at last have a lexicon of business jargon, hilariously illustrated by the inimitable Gahan Wilson. Some terms will be familiar and some are relatively obscure, but they all serve to give the reader a piercing insight into both the humor and the ruthless nature of conducting business in America today.”
  Stewart Alcorn,Market Manager, Frost Bank, Fort Worth, TX

• “Don't let any pencil brain (p. 44) tell you otherwise, but this book is all that and a bag of chips (p. 72). Green Weenies alpha dog (p. 7) Ron Sturgeon has peeled the onion (p. 44) on an area of business you won't learn about in any other book on the market today!”
  Joseph R. Mannes, Managing Director, SAMCO Capital Markets

• “As useful as it is entertaining; even the most experienced deal junkie will find new insights.”
