Robert Steven Brown: The Man, The Myth, The Legend

I am Robert Steven Brown, a founder and a Managing Director of New World Merchant Partners LLC, a corporate transactional advisory firm. In the course of my work and my life I come across some interesting people, antecdotes, statements, books, and stories, which I feel should be expressed to someone or at least anyone who will listen, but which are somehow inappropriate for posting on my work blog (newworldmp.blogspot.com) or other blogs. I hope that you find these little posts as humorous, interesting, or illuminating as I do. Please feel free to post comments, whether or not offensive.
