LAS VEGAS, June 24, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Successful Nevada businessman Ron Coury's Las Vegas memoir, "Tenacity: A Vegas Businessman Survives Brooklyn, the Marines, Corruption and Cancer to Achieve the American Dream," released in 2019, has been revamped into a new audiobook narrated by actor Dean Cain, best known for playing Superman in the mid-1990s "Lois and Clark" hit series. The Hollywood star brings a fitting sense of charisma and drama to a story packed with do-or-die scenarios.
Cain praised the book, which has recently taken the No. 1 spot on Amazon's best seller list in business ethics.
"This book is such a great collection of life lessons about strength, overcoming obstacles and never giving up," he said. "If I had read it when I was young, I would certainly have been more disciplined in my approach to things."
With nearly 50 years of entrepreneurial experience, Coury has faced and overcome every challenge imaginable — death threats, bribery, corruption and even a deadly cancer. In this new audiobook, listeners can hear Cain narrate the values that enabled Coury to survive and thrive.
A recurring theme of "Tenacity" is Coury's refusal to accept failure as an option, an attitude that goes back to his early days. After growing up in Brooklyn, New York, Coury joined the U.S. Marines in the early 1970s. He left for Las Vegas at the end of his active-duty commitment to co-found taverns and casino businesses. His entrepreneurial passion then propelled him into numerous sectors, running companies dealing in hospitality, real estate, restaurants, graphics and automobile sales.
In one of the chapters, he recalls running a limousine company when competitors opened fire on one of his vehicles, riddling it with bullets. But instead of heeding this warning and closing down the business, Coury did the exact opposite — he faced the danger and set out to find who was responsible. Coury's resilience was again tested as he later faced false accusations that could have resulted in a 50-year prison sentence. Coury remained true to his values and again refused to give in, despite receiving immense pressure to do so from a number of high-powered sources.
As Coury continued to gain success, his opponents grew in number and in influence. He navigated bribery offers and corrupt policymakers but steadfastly refused to compromise his integrity. If listeners take just one lesson from his new audiobook, he hopes it will be encouragement to always be true to yourself and to never abandon your principles.
Coury's most formidable enemy has been esophageal cancer, which he was diagnosed with more than 15 years ago. The doctors said the survival rate was 8%. However, he once again beat the odds, enduring an intensive 11-hour surgery and ultimately defeating the illness.
He now spends much of his time giving back to the Southern Nevada community and is an active supporter of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, currently serving as a board member for its foundation.
