SARASOTA (SNN-TV) – President and COO of Citadel Communications, Ray Cole, has crossed paths with many individuals trailblazing a path of success in their respective careers. With those relationships and encounters, Cole authored a book called, “Hangin’ with Winners” profiling each of those various success stories.
Having been encouraged by his family, friends and colleagues for years, Ray Cole finally took the challenge of writing a book detailing the myriad of connections he had forge over the course of his five decade career in broadcasting.
Along with co-writer Rob Gray, Cole trudged through nearly 60 interviews over the course of 18 months, all while tackling a global pandemic, to produce a book containing a who’s who of celebrities and executives. Names including the likes of Robin Roberts, George Stephanopoulos, Dick Vitale and many more. Cole hopes that the books readers can take away from each and every individual’s success for inspiration.
“It’s my hope that the insights that people can glean from this book, and the lessons that are shared therein, will help inspire people in their own lives.” – Ray Cole
“Hangin’ with Winners” provides a insight for those looking to climb their own ladder of success by learning from those who have reached the pinnacle already. Cole and every person included in the book, echo the sentiment that a winning mindset can be found in everyone.
“Winning has everything to do with pursuing the best version of yourself possible. Become the kind of person you’d be happy to spend the rest of your life with.” – Ray Cole
With the book currently available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and hanginwithwinners.com, Ray encourages each person upon reading it, to apply the success to their life.
“Take advantage, make the most of each and every one of the winning qualities that each one of us have. Do it in a way that it fans, even the tiniest sparks of possibility, into an absolute bonfire of success.” – Ray Cole
The aforementioned Dick Vitale also encourages everyone to buy the book, one for the inspiration inside and two, because the proceeds are going towards a great cause.
“The book is really outstanding, because it’s all about people who’ve had a little success in life, sharing their stories as inspiration and motivation. I recommend that people get it, because also, some of the money is going to be given to The V Foundation for kids battling cancer.” – Dick Vitale
All of the proceeds from the book will go towards The V Foundation as well as 5 other “winning” organizations, including the Broadcasters Foundation of America.
