Who Better than You?
By Packer, Will
Trailblazing filmmaker and powerhouse CEO Will Packer presents powerful and illuminating stories from the front lines of Hollywood to offer a clear vision on how to manifest your own success - by believing there is no one more deserving of it than you."All of Will Packer's stories about me in this book are false. Well, they may be true, but they aren't funny. Actually, they are pretty funny, but I don't have to like them." - Kevin HartYou know Will Packer's movies. From Stomp the Yard to Ride Along to Girls Trip, his films have collectively grossed more than $1 billion at the box office, with ten of them opening at number one. To outsiders, the unabashed confidence that has driven him since his college days - when he was trying to sell a micro-budget indie film - may look like arrogance.
