Call Me Ted

De: Ted Turner, Bill Burke

Narrado por: Ted Turner

From the legendary Ted Turner, who reinvented TV—and the world—by breaking all the rules, a tell-all memoir.

"Early to bed, early to rise, work like hell and advertise!"

These words of fatherly advice helped shape Ted Turner's remarkable life, but they only begin to explain the colorful, energetic, and unique style that made Ted into one of the most amazing personalities of our time. Along the way—among his numerous accomplishments—Ted became one of the richest men in the world, the largest land owner in the United States, revolutionized the television business with the creation of TBS and CNN, became a champion sailor and winner of the America's Cup, and took home a World Series championship trophy in 1995 as owner of the Atlanta Braves.

An innovative entrepreneur, outspoken nonconformist, and groundbreaking philanthropist, Ted Turner is truly a living legend, and in this memoir, he reveals his personal story—from his difficult childhood to the successful launch of his media empire to the catastrophic AOL/Time Warner deal, and his many marriages including the one to Jane Fonda.

In Call Me Ted, you'll hear Ted Turner's distinctive voice on every page. Always forthright, he tells you what makes him tick and what ticks him off, and delivers an honest account of what he's all about. Inspiring and entertaining, Call Me Ted sheds new light on one of the greatest visionaries of our time.

"Turner's straightforward yet surprisingly charming delivery makes this a must hear."—Publishers Weekly

Worth every minute!

I enjoyed learning how interesting and amazing this person is through his stories! An average person with common flaws as well as a huge personal drive for success! It never got boring.

Listen to it for second time

I listened it once years ago. Last week I listened to it again and still enjoyed it a lot.

Great book for all time.

By Far The Best Book I've Listen Too

This book was simply great. Ted Turner has really made many great contributions to my life that I never even knew about. The story telling is so enthusiastic I never got bored with this audio book. I've Listen to 20+ Audio books and this one is by far my favorite.

Crazied Risk Taker and Success Story

This is a fantastic book about business and risk taking made all the better that it's read by Ted himself. CNN, Atlanta Braves, Goodwill Games, America Cup Champion, and donated 1 Billion dollars to the UN. What a life!

Nicely done and narrated.

Great insight and detail oh how Ted lived his life, made his fortune, and mentally went through the daily grind. 👏 Good read for any business person or entrepreneur.
