#1 Amazon Best Seller USA Today Best Seller “You can’t put the book down. It’s not just about success; it’s about the heart, soul, and grit it takes to get there—to beat all the odds.” – TK Kimbrell, manager for music legends including the late Toby Keith What happens when you bet it all and lose—only to discover that failure is the best thing to ever happen to you? In Down to the Wire, Rich Galgano tells how the gambling addiction that nearly destroyed him became the catalyst for building a half-billion-dollar company. By his early 20s, Rich was a successful professional, but his secret life as a compulsive gambler threatened to destroy it all. When everything unraveled, Rich hit rock bottom—buried in debt and out of options. Through Gamblers Anonymous, he fought his way back, relying on unforgettable mentors who helped him turn failures into the foundation for success. What followed was a wild journey of resilience and reinvention. Armed with sheer grit, Rich and his business partner launched Windy City Wire with little more than an idea. Windy City would eventually become one of the most successful wire and cable companies in the country. Along the way, he encountered the unbelievable: headline-making criminals, athletes, rock stars, country legends, and American heroes. Down to the Wire is a riotous, inspiring tale of redemption, proving that success isn’t about how hard you fall—it’s about how boldly you rise.
