Description: For Beyond 50's "Business" talks, listen to an interview with Maura McEnaney. She'll talk about Willar Garvey, a larger-than-life businessman from Kansas who lived at the center of 20th century history. A visionary man, he dreamed of "every man a homeowner" by pioneering affordable home ownership in developing countries at a time when few if any cared about the millions living in slums worldwide; hob-nobbed with heads of state and captains of industry, counting 20th century titans J.B. Fuqua, Robert Galvin and John Templeton as his closest friends. He built the tallest building in Kansas, was the largest private landowner in Nevada, operated the world's largest grain elevator, started his own short-lived television network and even tried to start his own country.
