A Different Kind of Playbook with Greg Curtis

The book tells stories – always amusing and sometimes enlightening – about some of the remarkable people Greg has encountered in his career, including Joe Biden, Richard Lugar, the graffiti artist A-ONE, French Resistance hero André Heintz, Hopi Tribal Chairman Abbott Sekaquaptewa, and others.

The book begins with the long poem, Emily Snitz, about a girl who tries gamely but unsuccessfully to outrun her own shadow. This is followed by several other children’s stories and poems Greg wrote over the years.

This book synthesizes the knowledge Greg gained over the years advising ultra-wealthy families both during his years running a family office for what was then the world’s wealthiest family and also in the subsequent years running his own wealth advisory firm.

This book follows Pittsburgh from its frontier beginnings through its evolution into the most heavily industrialized city in the world, to the city's renewal of itself as "America's Most Livable City."
