Kenneth D. Campbell Chronicles Journey, Shares Entrepreneurial Insights
RADNOR, Pa. (PRWEB) June 02, 2016 -- In “Watch that Rat Hole: And Witness the REIT Revolution” (published by Archway Publishing), author Kenneth D. Campbell intertwines his personal journey with his observations as an investment newsletter editor witnessing what he calls the real estate investment trust (REIT) revolution. Campbell provides an insider’s insight and hopes his success story inspires a new generation.
“‘Watch that Rat Hole’ began as a letter to my children telling why I could not be with them a lot during their growing-up years,” Campbell explains, adding that the book, “recounts how I morphed from Manhattan magazine writer into an entrepreneurial creator.”
An excerpt from “Watch that Rat Hole”:
“Watch that rat hole.”
The speaker is my new boss, Gurney Breckenfeld. As assistant managing editor of House & Home magazine (H&H), Gurney runs the best news operation in the housing business. The date is Friday, February 3, 1961—two weeks after John F. Kennedy’s inauguration as the thirty-fifth president of the United States brings Camelot to Washington. It is my first full day in H&H’s Rockefeller Center offices in Manhattan.
Gurney’s “rat hole” is journalese shorthand for a beat, a topic to be covered intensively and mined for future stories. Just as city hall and police headquarters were, in earlier times, my beats—my rat holes— Gurney is now giving me a new one.
