The life story of Professor Gregory W. Slayton is a story that is hard to believe. It is the story of how rejection turned into acceptance and led to the creation of a legacy that still looks impossible. You will be inspired and encouraged, guaranteed.

The future of civilisation depends on how well fathers do their jobs.
~ Prof. Greg W. Slayton

To help make this happen, joining Chris and Guy on the show today is Professor Gregory W. Slayton.

Who is Professor Slayton?

Professor Slayton was an Ivy League graduate, an MBA graduate (with honors) from Harvard; he worked for McKinsey company, Paramount Pictures and with a number of Silicon Valley firms, including the venture capital firm that he founded, Slayton Capital. His successful early investments included Salesforce.com, Google, Oakley Networks and Bloom Energy.

Professor Slayton spent 4 years as United States Consul General and US Chief of Mission to Bermuda, and he is still the only Republican diplomat in US history to be awarded the Distinguished Foreign Service Award from the Congressional Black Caucus.

Professor Slayton has featured in the Wall Street Journal, jointly on the cover of Time magazine and some of his feats in saving Silicon Valley startups are still studied as case studies at the Harvard Business School.

He remains a lecturer at major US and Chinese Colleges, and he even found the time to write a book about fatherhood that has sold more than 300,000 copies and is published in over 20 countries.
