What are the Odds?: From Crack Addict to Ceo by Mark Lindell
Far more than a 'business memoir,' What Are the Odds? is a raw, authentic account by a man many thought would never rise above his serial, addiction fueled failures. Mike's gripping narrative transports readers from his small-town tavern with its colourful cast of 'Regulars' to Mexico and a drug deal gone awry. From Las Vegas casinos, where Mike won and lost fortunes as a professional gambler, to a jail-cell beatdown. From failed rehabs to his 20-year marriage, an ideal union decimated by addiction. And finally, to the redemption of the most shameful moment of his life. An unvarnished account of the ravages of cocaine, crack, and gambling addiction, 'What Are the Odds?' tells the improbable tale of how a small-town guy with a dream somehow made it a reality. More importantly, Mike opens up about the God who relentlessly chased him down, turning him from a casual believer to a passionate evangelist with an absolute, mathematical certainty that God is real. 'What Are the Odds?' will not only speak to entrepreneurs and those struggling with addiction, but also to anyone looking for a message of hope.
