This is the story of one of the most feared men on Wall Street.
T. Boone Pickens started as an Oklahoma oilman with a gift for persuasion. Through storytelling, he convinced investors to back him, shareholders to revolt, and billion-dollar corporations to bend to his will.
His approach earned him a reputation that split the country in two. A hero to shareholders. A villain to corporate America.
Then, in the late 1980s, the oil crash wiped out much of what Pickens had built, leaving him with little more than his name.
What followed was one of the most improbable comebacks in modern finance.
Learn how storytelling helped him build power, lose it, and build it again.
One more thing.
