From New York, to the Marines, to Las Vegas. Brooklyn-born Ron Coury fought his way from casino dealer to successful entrepreneur eventually owning 20 businesses. And he's no slouch at Texas Hold'em either!

Art Parmann (http://x.com/ArtParmann) and Justin Young (http://x.com/ArtParmann) sit down with local Las Vegas legend Ron Coury to talk about his businesses, his autobiography "Tenacity" (https://amzn.to/3SfbQqf) and answer the question "Why does anyone play poker anyways?!" It's a great time and tons of interesting nuggets were shared along the way.
