Dive into the whirlwind life of Jerry Weintraub, the legendary Hollywood producer and deal maker whose memoir, "When I Stop Talking, You'll Know I'm Dead," is as electrifying as his career. From the streets of Brooklyn to the glitzy hills of Hollywood, Weintraub's journey is a masterclass in seizing the moment and making the impossible happen. With a narrative as bold and charismatic as the man himself, this book peels back the curtain on the magic of show business, revealing the hustle, heart, and sheer audacity it takes to make it to the top. Through tales of his adventures with icons like Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and George Clooney, Weintraub doesn't just recount his life; he transports you into the rooms where history was made, and deals were sealed with a handshake and a promise. More than just a memoir, "When I Stop Talking, You'll Know I'm Dead" is a testament to the power of vision and persistence. Weintraub's stories are a rare glimpse into the art of storytelling itself, both on-screen and off, taught by a man who knew better than anyone how to sell a story. Whether it was taking Elvis on the road, producing blockbuster hits, or advising presidents, his life was a constant dance of negotiation, innovation, and, above all, entertainment. Jerry Weintraub's narrative promises not only the secrets of his success but also a compelling look at the dynamic, ever-changing world of entertainment through the eyes of one of its most iconic figures.

Every minute doing one thing is a minute not doing something else. Every choice is another choice not made another path grown over lost.
