Gerald Rosengarten discovered early that when the right train comes into the station, jump on it!
Learn the magic that happens behind the scenes when the doors suddenly open and unforeseen opportunities arise in the big city. In a half century of innovative ventures, the brash New Yorker never let dyslexia slow his creative mind and penchant for free thinking and deal making, even though he was functionally unable to read until he was in his fifties. Discover how he created the greatest men's fashion development of the era--the leisure suit--and how it subsequently fell off a cliff.
How did he follow that experience? By legalizing loft living and changing the Gotham landscape. Rosengarten confronted endless and occasionally incorrigible bureaucracies, competitors, and colleagues. Whether his timing was just right or way off, he has never shied away from a challenge. Rosengarten is still creating; his newest design is The Slide Watchband for the Apple Watch.
Jump on the Train is your ticket to learn the life lessons of an iconoclast who has found a way to succeed despite not always knowing what he was getting himself into. Relying on intuition, curiosity, and street smarts, Rosengarten often finds himself in stranger-than-fiction moments. In the process, he has made an indelible imprint on the culture and physical identity of the greatest city in the world.
This book is for those not sure which train to take, as well as to those already on the train but not sure where to get off. Enjoy the ride.
