Sometimes Wrong but Never in Doubt

di George Aldo Barrios (Autore)

Skyhorse, 2026

From the Inner City to Billion-Dollar Deals George Barrios helped transform WWE from an $800 million wrestling company into a $9.3 billion global sports and entertainment powerhouse. For the son of Cuban immigrants who grew up in a cramped Queens apartment near LaGuardia Airport and nearly flunked out of high school, the climb to the corporate boardroom was anything but obvious. Barrios’s story blends grit, reinvention, and bold bets. He went from a 2nd grader forging a letter from his parents so the nuns wouldn’t expel him to the highest levels of corporate leadership. As WWE’s longtime strategist, he pioneered streaming years before other sports properties caught up and helped make WWE the #1 sports brand on YouTube with over a billion followers. When Vince McMahon abruptly fired him in 2020, Barrios cofounded Isos Capital—and three years later, McMahon called him back. The Cuban kid from Queens had become indispensable. For readers of Shoe Dog, The Hard Thing About Hard Things, and Good to Great, Sometimes Wrong but Never in Doubt offers: A framework for spotting undervalued assets and transforming legacy businesses. Hard-won lessons on navigating corporate politics and surviving setbacks. A masterclass in disrupting before being disrupted—and betting on conviction when everyone else doubts your vision. This is both an immigrant’s story and a playbook for entrepreneurs and executives seeking to stay ahead of the curve—proof that preparation, persistence, and courage can change everything.
