From Tech Tycoon To Texas Tale-Teller
Hey, y’all - I am Will Simpson; welcome to my world as I embark on version three of me!
In version one, I was livin’ large as a pool hall hustler and poker player in Austin, Texas, in the 1980s and 1990s.
Version two came around as I became a single father with primary custody and plunged headfirst into the world of technology and executive leadership.
Version three is where I have found my joy.
First and foremost, I have married my best friend and partner, whom I do not deserve! I have also found a new calling: making up stories and writing them down!
I have never been a writer, but I have always been a storyteller. So, join me in this latest version as I weave tall tales plucked right out of my very own version one!
I want readers of my stories to enjoy a wild ride through a version of old Austin that most people never knew existed. I mix authentic scenes from the 1980s and 1990s with wild tales of gambling, leverage, and politics!
My dream is to invite other new authors into my world so they can add characters and stories to the land of “Texas Sharks.” Meanwhile (since this is MY dream), I will continue writing from my new home on a balcony overlooking the ocean in Lisbon, Portugal!
Obrigado por ler!
You've Got To Lose To Win
There are moments in life when we must experience defeat in order to achieve victory. This principle has been my guiding light, leading me from poker tables to the world of business. In my book, I delve into the lessons that losses can teach us often more than our victories ever could. It is through setbacks that we develop resilience and craft our strategies.
This book represents the culmination of 15 to 20 years of experience exploring the power of learning from defeat. I invite you to join me on this journey of discovery as we uncover how every loss serves as a stepping stone toward success, highlighting that sometimes losing is a prerequisite for winning.
