In the book Confessions of a Serial Entrepreneur Stuart Skorman recounts the ups and downs of his high-stakes career. Skorman launched the online video store Reel.com in 1997 and sold it three years later for $100m - but his online learning site Hungryminds.com bombed. More recently he made a comeback with Elephant Pharmacy. In this video, Skorman takes to the card table to show how business can be played like a game of poker.
