My latest co-written memoir is "Right Hand Man: How Phil Lind Guided the Genius of Ted Rogers, Canada's Foremost Entrepreneur" was published in 2018 and is a finalist for the 2019 National Business Book Award. In October 2014, the book "Hurricane Hazel: A Life with Purpose" was published and co-written by me and Hazel McCallion. It is a best-seller, along with other bestsellers I've written including Ted Rogers "Relentless, the true story of the man behind Rogers Communications" (also a finalist for the National Business Book Award), and the Best of Milt Dunnell. Currently, I own and operate abc2 communications which provides advice and content to corporations and written pieces for newspapers, magazines and online media.
