#942 - Barry Hearn: My Life: Book Review

Good morning everyone!

Thank you for listening to the Motivated Entrepreneurs podcast.

I'm your host, Dean Booty. Today is Saturday, the 24th of September.

Today we have the book review called "Barry Hearn: My Life" by Barry Hearn.

A larger than life working class hero, Romford born and bred - always ready with the perfect soundbite - Barry Hearn was famously described as 'roguish but never a rogue'.

Hearn is credited with turning snooker into one of the biggest sports in Britain. He essentially turned a sport in which competitors wear bowties into a massive, globally televised event. Away from the table, his promotions empire casts its net over a dozen sports - from professional boxing to darts, fishing to ten-pin bowling - and his career spans four decades. He also previously owned Leyton Orient football club.

Packed with hilarious anecdotes from the golden age of snooker, and behind-the-scenes insight into boxing negotiations and darts bust-ups, Hearn's book is a joy to read from start to finish.

Give a listen.
