Phyllis Green's journey takes you from her humble start at a small N.J. radio station to the heights of ABC-TV network television, then to the depths of the unemployment line. After age 50, she rises to successful entrepreneurship by building a Florida ad agency and selling it to WPP Worldwide, the world's largest marketing and communications services agency. Her resilience survives the sexism and anti-Semitism of network sales in the 1980s as she meets many fascinating and famous people who help her focus on success. Fired at 50 is a metaphor for a life-altering event that each reader can translate to their life story.
