I am a businessman first and foremost. It’s that experience, yes, that real world experience, the experience of getting screwed by governmetn bureaucats and threatened by unions and ripped off by the IRS and the EEOC on a routine basis - that gives me the abject confidence to flat out tell folks who have never owned a business that they don’t know what the hell they are talking about.
It is this experience, much good, much not so much, that animates and informs my writng. And yes, I could tell you were an employee. I can instantly tell who is, and who is not, an owner or manager.
