The memoir by Mitch Gould
The story behind the entrepreneur.
From Brooklyn roots to major retail doors, celebrity partnerships, and a lifetime of reinvention, The Blonde, the Ferrari and the Kwan reveals the people and principles behind Mitch Gould’s journey.
A quintessential American success story
Business, risk, relationships—and the life built between them.
The memoir follows Gould from a third-generation retail family in Brooklyn through decades of building brands, national sales teams, and relationships across sports, entertainment, and consumer products.
The title reflects three symbols of a fully realized life: the Blonde, his wife Sherry and the catalyst behind the journey; the Ferrari, achievement earned through persistence; and the Kwan, the complete package of love, respect, community, and success.
