Howdy Wayne J! It's always good to hear from you. Ira has often been a topic of discussion between those of us that have been around here a long time.

Well, I'd like to share something with you about Ira Monas that I have been thinking for the past few days.

Ira has a certain "fire in his belly" that few business people have. He is confident and has a lot of moxie. I kept thinking that he seemed familiar to me somehow. I kept thinking about that and then several days ago it hit me.

I met another fellow years ago (1981 or so) that Ira reminds me of an awful lot. He was also ambitious and had a lot of moxie to him. It was obvious to me that he had this "fire in his belly" for becoming successful.

He was just a hotel manager at the time. But I was impressed with him and I was convinced he would go far. He and I had a "run-in" once and he made me really mad, just like Ira did a couple of months ago.

But even though I was upset on each of these two different occasions with these two different businessmen, I had a complete understanding of where they were coming from. And I respect both of them.

It takes a certain drive, a strong ambition, and a certain confidence in your own abilities to stay tough when others are trying to pull you down. You have to make the decisions that are best even though they might not be popular.

Ira does that. And so did this other guy I encountered years ago. The hotel manager ran a place called the Disneyland Hotel at the time. His name was Michael Eisner. That hotel manager is now Chairman and CEO of the Walt Disney Company.

I see many similarities in both of these businessmen.

Best wishes,
Brad
