Ali Tamaseb has spent thousands of hours manually amassing what may be the largest dataset ever collected on start-ups, comparing billion-dollar start-ups with those that failed to become one - 30,000 data points on nearly every factor: number of competitors, market size, the founder’s age, his or her university’s ranking, quality of investors, fundraising time, and many, many more. And what he found looked far different than expected.

He’s also sole owner of the NBA’s Houston Rockets. This book shares the key insights that made it all possible.

Not every billionaire should write a book
Honestly this book is short and it still felt like a waste of time. You can tell he’s not an author because he would keep on talking about an experience or a subject waaay past having made his point.
It felt like he was beating a dead horse.

He talks the talk and walks the walk.
Hard not to want to listen to such a successful man. They say the average human retains 10% of what they see, hear or read. Tillman serves up some great advice. If you only retain 10% of his advice its worth then time to listen..

Poor Audio Quality Tales Away from the overall message
Not the best quality recording which made it hard to finish for me. Some good info but mainly stuff we’ve all read somewhere else before. No real new information and not worth the money overall in my opinion.

Tilman Didn't Follow His own 95/5 Rule
The content of this book is much like a lite college class or a "Some Things You Should Think About" Business Seminar. The content is not bad but it does come across narcissistic and simple. I am a Fertitta fan. I enjoy watching Billion Dollar Buyer. Not going to recommend this book. My greatest gripe is the audible quality. Sounds like he's talking in a bucket. If he would have followed his own 95/5 rule, he would have brought in a few acoustic panels to wash out the talking in a tiny bathroom sound.
This book audio feels rushed and not well edited. Many chapters have a low buzz or white noise sound. This can be clearly heard in his basic pauses and transitions. I don't have any issues with his content. It's simply the audio of the book that has left me dissatisfied.

Shut Up and Listen- a no BS business book
I read a lot of business books. Most I find these days are rehashed from the classics.
Nothing new.
Tilman delivers the truth about business and how to succeed. It’s the same message my father in law and mentor told me as we struggled through a large development some years back. Shane- failure isn’t not an option. Get it out of your head. Never ever give up (yes- we have heard this before- but Tilman gives you strategies to work through the tough times)
Get the book. It’s well worth your time
