Answers That Count - Hosted By Charles Musgrove

In this episode, we have guest Ron Coury, author of the recently published book entitled Tenacity. Ron talks about his business ventures in the early years in Las Vegas. He used a large dose of hospitality and tenacity to carve a path in the evolving casino and local tavern scene in Las Vegas. What a great story and great lessons in today's climate with COVID fears and realities. 

Ron created the Cheers tavern and local gathering place before the hit TV sitcom. Check out this show about how Ron created a successful business in a place that was about to experience a tremendous economic transformation that would last for decades. 

Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Ron Coury arrived in Las Vegas in 1973, following two years of service in the U.S. Marine Corps. Ron has been a casino dealer and a realtor, as well as a partner in restaurants and gaming bars, major graphics and glass companies, and several automobile dealerships throughout the western United States.

He is currently a board member of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Foundation, as well as several companies and charitable organizations. He has three children and five grandchildren and remains active in business and community service endeavors throughout Southern Nevada.

In these difficult times, businesses will be dealing with difficult vendor and employee decisions, Ron leaves us with the point that it is "never the wrong time to do the right thing". Be kind and considerate as you interact with others who are struggling with the COVID created business hurdles.
