Bentley shares his surefire strategies for success.Just how
does a guy move from Atlanta to New York City without
knowing a soul in the entertainment industry and become, in
less than two years, the P.A. to one of the biggest moguls
in hip-hop history? Bentley attributes his accomplishment to
one key equation: Manners + Confidence + Style = Swagger.
