Editor’s Note: Proving once again the value of persistence, Reed Hundt’s Coalition for Green Capital won a major commitment from the federal government. This effort started in 2009, when Reed tried to get funding for green banks enacted into law. Finally, in 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act set aside $27 billion for public-private investments in rooftop solar, energy efficiency upgrades for homes and other projects. It’s a major win — and could be a model to mobilize the huge amounts of capital necessary to fund the transition to clean energy.

“Now, in Rainmaker, Norton draws back the curtain on his meteoric rise and abrupt fall. With never-before-told stories and exclusive insights, he discusses what it was like being Tiger Wood’s first agent, his time representing the narcissistic Greg Norman, and shining a bright light on his sudden—and controversial—ouster as the head of IMG’s Golf Division—a juggernaut he helped build.
