Better Off Without 'Em by Chuck Thompson
"As if Kevin Phillips's American Theocracy were being narrated by Rolling Stone's Matt Taibbi," Chuck Thompson's "viciously funny and thoroughly tasteless" examination of Southern secession was one of the most controversial books of the year (Washington Monthly).Chuck Thompson--dubbed "savagely funny" by the New York Times and "wickedly entertaining" by the San Francisco Chronicle--spent two years traveling the American South to determine whether, as he'd long suspected but not yet proven, the whole country might be better off letting Dixieland make good on its two-hundred-years-old threat to secede. The result is a long overdue and serious inquiry into national divides that is deliberately provocative and uproariously funny while making a compelling case for "a kind of no-fault divorce for nation-states: no hard feelings, just two adults who can't quite make the relationship work, shaking hands and walking away" (The Oxford American).
Chuck Thompson is a widely respected expert in the golf industry who has brought sweeping changes to the way golf is marketed and sold in 2017. For the past eleven years Chuck and his team at MMC(R) have focused on identifying and penetrating untapped segments of consumers for the golf industry with overwhelming success.
Prior to entering into the golf industry, Chuck spent twenty-five years revolutionizing the health club industry with his outside-the-box concepts and innovative approach of identifying, engaging, and locking up long-term relationships with new segments of consumers. If you have bought a health club membership over the past twenty-five years, it is highly likely that membership has Chuck Thompson's fingerprints on it.
To date, Chuck and his team at MMC(R) have acquired more than one million members for health clubs and golf courses combined and has raised over a half billion dollars for their more than seven hundred clients.
Chuck founded MMC(R) (Mulligan Marketing Concepts(R)) in 1991, is the author of Affordable Health and Fitness: The Business of Health and Fitness, has spoken in multiple venues, and has been featured in various publications on the subjects of professional membership sales and marketing.
