The
Wrong
Floor

Jack Rowan wasn't supposed to be in that room. He was there to fix a projector. He got off on the wrong floor, walked into a meeting he wasn't invited to, and said something he probably shouldn't have.

Everything changed after that.

Featured · Business Thriller

"They did not have the connections. They did not have the pedigree. They had something better. They knew how to read the room."

For fans of
The Big Short Moneyball Liar's Poker The Firm

A once-in-a-generation device built in a Bronx maker space. A group of five people, a pattern reader, a self-taught inventor, a walking library, a legal street fighter, and a woman who could see the real thing inside anyone, standing between old money and the theft of something that belonged to the world.

The Wrong Floor is a story about earned talent, stolen dreams, and what it actually takes to win when the game was designed for someone else.

Five People Who Were Never Supposed to Be at the Table

Jack Rowan

The Pattern Reader

Went in to fix a projector. Walked out having read a room that changed everything. He sees what other people miss, not because he was trained to, but because survival required it.

Dario Voss

The Founder

Built a once-in-a-generation device in a Bronx maker space. Self-taught. Relentless. Watched powerful investors try to take it all away and kept building anyway.

Rosa Rowan

The Living Library

Has read and retained every textbook she has ever opened. Bought them with waitress money starting in high school. Assumes everyone can do the same. They cannot.

Carter Wynn

The Fighter

Learned the law in libraries after watching his mother lose her home to a debt that was never hers. Two years into solo practice. Has been waiting his whole life for a fair fight.

Olivia Reyes

The Architect

Grew up on the right side of every line and spent her entire career making sure that didn't make her soft. Can find the real thing inside anyone. Protects it when she does.

The Author

Marc Golden

Marc Golden is a serial entrepreneur with a background in mergers and acquisitions, business strategy, and building ventures from the ground up. He understands the rooms in this story because he has been in them, sometimes with a work order and sometimes with a seat at the table.

The Wrong Floor is his debut novel. His nonfiction work Bring Your Own Chair explores the same themes of earned access, unconventional talent, and what it actually takes to build something real from nothing.

He lives and works in Tampa, Florida.
