Building Casinos Across Cultures: Las Vegas to Macau with Seth Schorr, CEO of Fifth Street Gaming (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Long before Seth Schorr became a casino owner and entrepreneur, Steve Wynn sent him to Macau with a pretty unusual assignment: figure out how the market worked. There were no consultant reports or market studies to rely on. Macau was essentially a black box. So Seth spent months on the ground - staying in the hotels, eating in the restaurants, talking to operators, watching customers, and collecting data himself.

With no technical background and no outside funding, he bootstrapped OnCourse into a multimillion-dollar business serving thousands of locations. Then, everything changed.

Why He Bought a Failing Airline with Germán Efromovich, Owner of Synergy Group and formerly CEO Avianca Airlines (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When you meet someone who has built companies across aviation, oil and gas, shipbuilding, and hospitality, you expect them to have one defining story - the moment that changed everything.
