Screw U is a memoir about overcoming insurmountable odds. The author Jim Masiello battled not only the IRS but also big banks for millions of dollars. His memoir sheds light on the dark underbelly of the financial industry that I don’t think many people know about. Entrepreneurs face harsh realities like this unfortunately more often than anyone ever should.
Masiello’s strength really struck me. Even in a situation that feels impossible and domineering, he refused to back down, showcasing a level of grit and tenacity that is truly inspiring. I highly recommend this book to anyone who needs help getting back up after hard times. I’m not going through anything nearly as daunting as this but I found his words to be inspirational and his wisdom really helped me see things from a new perspective. Great book.
Screw U: A Memoir
Most people’s worst nightmare is a problem with the IRS or the bank. Jim had them both coming after him for tens of millions of dollars.
Jim Masiello is widely known as the founder of the insurance giant SIAA, the Strategic Insurance Agency 
Alliance, but what people don’t know is that along the road to building his company Jim had to fight through a devastating situation with the IRS and fend off a flurry of improbable threats from big banks looking to bring him down.
Far from the professional and cordial experiences most people have with their banks, Jim has stories to share from his time in the insurance and real estate worlds that shed light on the darker side of the financial industry. When millions of dollars are on the line, things turn ugly fast, but this scrappy boy from the wrong side of the tracks had a mouth to match and wasn’t afraid to let anyone have it.
Screw You is the true story of a man who didn’t have anything handed to him and had to work hard, often against outright belligerence and jealousy, reaching the highest echelons of the business world in the process. Whether it’s tense negotiations, courtroom drama, shocking letters announcing millions of dollars in debt out of thin air, or the jaw-dropping chicanery of banking executives, Jim Masiello has seen it all.
