Reviews
Providence Author Unveils Corporate Greed and Broken Ethics
“Griffin is the most unusual author, but he is the perfect guide that unveils the inner workings of private equity, corporate greed and failed business ethics. Front Row Seat is a binge read!”
Incredibly well written. You won’t put it down!
“...How could this be Steve’s first book? It reads like a John Grisham novel! Just when you think it couldn’t get any better (or worse in Steve’s case), it does. Definitely 5 stars!”
A lesson for all current & future leaders
”Great read! I read the book in 3 days - a great reminder that cutting corners in building your business is a recipe for disaster. Worth the read!”
Couldn’t put it down!
”This book takes the reader on a bumpy ride in order to reveal how one’s principles were able to combat greed and corruption. He successfully portrays multiple instances of white-collar crime while also battling his own struggles with Parkinson’s Disease. Bravo Steve!”
A MUST READ FOR BUSINESS EXECUTIVES

Riveting
“I could not put this book down. Finished it in 2 days. I can’t believe this is Steve’s first novel. What transpired at this company was truly amazing. I can’t imagine going through this - no amount of pay would have been worth being the CEO of this mess.”
