Summary
It started with Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll and finished in a well-cut suit.
Ask anyone with a dream: The road to success can be akin to riding shotgun on the Highway to Hell, as Harvey Lee, rebel turned Vice President of Product Marketing will testify...
From modest beginnings in Northern England, to the promised land of the USA, Harvey recalls how he was forced to grab life by the horns, and embarked on a 40-year white-knuckle ride through the business world, establishing himself as an MBA-level trained and renowned product marketer.
But it wasn't always smooth sailing. Harvey shares how he survived and thrived in the cut-throat music industry before joining the corporate world and launching the original Xbox.
Part business book, part personal memoir, Backstage Pass is packed with hilarious tales spanning music, videogame, and technology industries. But behind the humour lay stories of grit and determination that'll leave you invigorated, inspired, and equipped to embark on an adventure of your own making.
Regardless of your past, present, or future aspirations, this tale of personal growth, born from a passion for music, will strike a chord with anyone pursuing a dream and leave you shouting, "Encore!"

I wasn’t expecting it to be so interesting and funny!!!
I met Harvey around a decade ago through business, a charming man, knowledgeable in his field and determined to change the landscape of the company he worked for at the time! We got on, we did business, he did as he planned and then life takes over and we’ve only shared an occasional message over the following years. Then I see he’s published a book!!
Intrigued and faced with a long car journey in the coming days, I used one of my Audible credits and set about the drive listening to the man I once knew - as it happens only a little!!
Listening to the stories of the Xbox launch and meeting, and then working for /with his rock’n’roll idols had me totally entertained, combined with his northern tones!
I wasn’t expecting to get so into it but I literally consumed the book in two journeys, listening and laughing along the way!
It is a man’s journey, but it’s a good one and don’t we all like an entertaining story or life to follow?! I look forward to the next one!!!
