About this listen
Sky's the Limit tells the inspirational tale of John P. Calamos, Sr., an American trailblazer, self-made success story, and living legend in the world of investing. Each chapter contains stories and business lessons he learned along the way. From a stock boy in his parents' grocery store in Chicago's west side, to 400+ combat missions in Vietnam, to launching his own firm which now has upwards of $35 billion in assets, John's career and the extreme success he's enjoyed through that career have been built on taking risks and being resilient.
Some of the events detailed in this book include:
- Teenage John's discovery of stock certificates in his family's basement ignites a passion for investing
- Major Calamos's time in the Air Force, including five years of active duty flying B-52 bombers and twelve years in the Reserves flying A-37 jet fighters
- Pioneering initiatives to launch one of the first convertible funds in 1985 and one of the first liquid alternative funds in 1990
Sky's the Limit is a great pick for all individuals seeking to mirror the success of a man who is a living embodiment of the quintessential rags-to-riches American dream.
