Critics Review
“Barons and Bros is a thought provoking and easy to read reminder that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Modern tech bros should spend more time emulating the 19th century shoulders we stand on. Greg started his first business in a trailer, as did I, and he understands the grit that makes Americans great and America special.” – Palmer Luckey, cofounder of Anduril and founder of Oculus VR
“Business should be bold, disruptive, and a lot of fun. Barons and Bros brilliantly tells the stories of the entrepreneurs who changed the world by refusing to play it safe.” – Sir Richard Branson, founder of Virgin
“As SpaceX’s first employee, I had a front row seat at watching Elon Musk build one of the world’s most valuable companies. If you want a great seat in the second-row Dr. Autry’s excellent book, Barons and Bros, provides insights into entrepreneurial leadership from a half dozen geniuses who transformed our world.” – Tom Mueller, Founder and CEO, Impulse Space
