Atlas Media brings ‘Turnaround King’ to National Geographic

May 23, 2011 - PRLog -- National Geographic Channel (NGC) introduces a no-nonsense show starring self-made multimillionaire and turnaround business consultant Grant Cardone who shows companies that success is possible in today's tough economy.  The series is produced by Atlas Media, one of the world’s leading independent multi-platform producers of non-fiction television series and specials, theatrical documentaries and digital entertainment.

Bruce David Klein of Atlas Media says “The fact that National Geographic, one of the world’s most prestigious blue-chip brands, has decided to go into business with us on this show with Grant speaks volumes.”

Premiering on Sunday, June 19, 2011 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, Cardone shows struggling businesses how to turn themselves around in this two-part special, Turnaround King.  Cardone begins each mission by going undercover with hidden cameras and identifies the causes of the failing enterprise firsthand.  Sparks fly as he reveals his true identity and works with management and employees to customize a business and sales plan to 'turnaround' the company. Cardone states,  "I can turnaround any company, in any economy selling any product, anytime -- guaranteed!"

Grant Cardone has been giving businesses guidance for over 25 years, customizing sales processes and systems to ensure the company's survival. “From the moment we saw a clip of one of Grant’s seminars, we were hooked — he’s an American original,” says Bruce David Klein, Atlas Media Corp’s President & Executive Producer, “He combines ingenuity, experience, and an inspiring drive for excellence — plus, he’s entertaining as hell to watch.”
