"The Englishman and Detroit" - A New Book by John Gallagher Explores How Detroit Got Its Entrepreneurial Mojo Back
Description
Craig's guest today is longtime Detroit Free Press reporter John Gallagher. He has just written a book called "The Englisman and Detroit: A British Entrepreneur Helps Restore a City's Confidence". The book tells the story of Randall Charlton, a so called "serial entrepreneur" who started Asterand in Detroit, an unlikely biotech success story at a time when the city was reeling with economic problems. After taking Asterand public, Charlton went on to lead TechTown at Wayne State University, to help other budding businesses find their way in the city. The book also chronicles how Charlton's influence and methods have helped to bring back an entrepreneurial spirit in a community that had long been dominated by the ups and downs of the auto industry.
