However I only really know limited amounts about his involvement with the Redskins. If anyone could provide any factoids on his dealings with the other teams he owned as well as the businesses he started before becoming an owner then that would be much appreciated.

The actual question reads as follows:
'Growing a business is a difficult challenge'. With reference to a historical entrepreneur of your choice, explore and explain the key factors behind their business growth and success.

Information can include anything from his personallity, style of management, factoids about his old business, how he balanced raising a family, and virtually anything else you may know.

Can infamous count as historical?
