Summary:

If anyone has "been there, done that" when it comes to starting and managing a business, it's William Saito. Saito is a truly unique personality. In An Unprogrammed Life, he tells his fascinating tale of a lifetime of entrepreneurship for the first time. More than just a high-tech autobiography or how-to-build-a-business guide, the book is the extraordinary story of a self-taught genius who became a savvy, serial business phenomenon. Founder of multiple profitable companies, Saito now devotes himself to helping others do the same, and this book chronicles his journey from a young computer nerd programming stock market trading algorithms for a major broker to one of the world's foremost experts on data security. Filled with practical advice, including end-of-chapter "takeaway" tips, An Unprogrammed Life is both an inspirational success story and essential handbook for entrepreneurs everywhere. Book jacket.
