Guest: James Scurlock Prominent Trial Attorney, Jack Girardi interviews James D. Scurlock, who studied at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania before dropping out to pursue an entrepreneurial venture and later a documentary film career. He has written, primarily about the impending (and now realized) financial crisis, for Slate, Newsweek, The Huffington Post, and AARP Magazine, among others. He has also appeared on numerous programs, including Nightline, The Today Show, and CNBC’s Power Lunch. The book's Title Character...KING LARRY was Larry Hilblom, who unquestionably changed the world, but his literal rags-to-riches story is wildly different from such modern tycoons as Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg. Larry Hilblom was raised in poverty on a peach farm near Fresno...but shortly after graduating from business school, he co-founded DHL delivery service...predating Fedex by three years...a company that became the fastest growing corporation in history. Hilblom took his riches and moved to the Marianas, where he led a resistance movement against American interests, rewrote the tax code and became a supreme court justice. He disappeared in his vintage seaplane in 1995 and left not only a billion dollar estate, but a tangle of legal battles that are still being waged today. Larry Hilblom has had a profound and lasting influence—a pioneer who shrank the globe, toppled the postal monopoly, anticipated electronic mail, and, most important, envisioned a world driven by economics rather than by laws. Guest: Rebecca Costa Retiring at the zenith of her career in Silicon Valley, Costa spent six years researching and writing The Watchman’s Rattle: Thinking Our Way Out of Extinction. In her book, Costa explains how the principles governing evolution cause and provide a solution for global gridlock. When asked why the book has special significance today, Costa claims, “Every person I know, rich or poor, educated or not, wants to know why our government gets more in debt, our air and water more polluted, our jails more crowded, our security more tenuous and our children more violent. We seem to have lost our ability to solve our problems. The Watchman’s Rattle offers a genetic explanation for our paralysis, and prescribes a way out.” Jack Girardi, Partner at Girardi Keese, is one of America's Finest Trial Lawyers and our Co-Host, as always, brings out the most important key elements to the success of today's guests.
