President of the San Diego Press Club, former financial editor of the San Diego Tribune and the author of 16 books, Lowe' s writing focuses on the leaders of specific industries. Her latest work, Damn Right! Behind the Scenes With Berkshire Hathaway Billionaire Charlie Munger, gives further evidence of Lowe' s expertise on moneyrelated success. The very rich, she observes, seem to have one particular thing in common. The people that I have written about all earned their own wealth. They are not inheritors. They did not fall by it accidentally, she said. It came about as the result of having a particular talent that they recognized very early in their lives, and they concentrated on it. She says that Warren Buffett was fascinated by investing even as a child, that Oprah Winfrey began working in radio and television while still in high school, that Ted Turner, although a wild child, was always someone who saw big ideas and took big risks. Lowe challenges the stereotype of the wealthy as dishonest and ruthless. Money talks but it talks straight. People usually do not rise to this level unless they' re very smart, good communicators, and ethical, she explained. You may not agree with the philosophy of a Warren Buffett or a Jack Welch (the head of General Electric) and with what they do or how they feel, but they are honest and true to themselves and they follow an ethical course. They'll tell you that if you' re not a straight shooter and an honest dealer, people will see that and not work with you.]]> Mon, 31 Aug 2026 19:47:53 +0000 es Copyright 202 6BiblioEteca Technologies SL
