Reader Reviews
This book is a direct result of requests, appeals, and please of “You two need to write this stuff down!” from male and female friends, co-workers, and relatives who have listened to Michael Coogan and William Burton discuss their experiences, hilarious stories, advice, philosophies, and epiphanies about the relationships between women and men.
Moreover, as well-qualified Pigs themselves -- and following years of watching, studying, and living this topic -- Mr. Coogan and Mr. Burton finally wrote THE book on this confounding subject -- Know Your Pig!
Michael Coogan (Type 7 Pig)
As a world traveler for over two decades, Michael has become a keen observer of people -- and an amazingly funny story teller.
As a Type 7 Pig, Michael is often found in the finest restaurants available, enjoying great food and the finest of wine, in the company of good friend and fellow Pigs.
As a charismatic sales executive and coach, he has helped numerous companies in both the US and Europe grow their sales teams to extraordinary heights by means of Michael’s unique executive leadership and management skills and instruction.
Born and raised in Denver, Colorado, these days Michael resides in Phoenix, Arizona.
Well, to be fair, his house lives there – Michael himself can frequently be found sharing his fun and interesting perspectives on life with people across North America and Europe.
A goal achieving competitive powerhouse who never forgets to have some fun along the way, Michael is an accomplished race car driver (on the track and the highway) and an aspiring commodities trader. His hobbies include flying, exotic sports cars, and extreme movie trivia.
In short, Michael lives his life passionately and to the fullest -- all the while embracing the lives of those closest to him and sharing his unique, irreverent, view of life (and Pigs) with all --- including, most importantly, you.
William Burton (Type 3 Pig)
A Pig by birth and a student of the human condition for more than 50 years, Mr. Burton is a frequent speaker to groups where he shares his unique (and often hilarious) views of what it means to be a man in today’s complex world.
And being a man for Mr. Burton includes being a former jet pilot, a high performance auto racer, and semi-skilled freeway driver. Not content to rest on his laurels, William’s greatest fear is of dying before achieving his personal “Top 100 Things To Do Before I Die” list.
As a serial entrepreneur, Mr. Burton is currently in a program to help him recover from a degree in engineering and a 30 year career as a high technology executive.
As a Type 3 Pig, William is managed by his current wife, who uses many of the technologies and techniques discussed in Know Your Pig! to keep him both happy and out of trouble.
(Confidentially, William’s wife is convinced that without the help of Know Your Pig! William would likely either be on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted List or holding a “Pig Will Work for Food” sign at a freeway exit near you.)
Mr. Burton has three grown children, and is currently the President of an aviation business around Sacramento, California.
