On a side note: I recently watched "The Founder", which tells the story how Ray Kroc scaled McDonalds. Highly recommended! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Kr

- stillsut 8y agoIf you liked the story of Ray Kroc, you'll like the story of Howard Schultz scaling Starbucks; the similarities are spooky.
- mwerty 8y agoAny book recommendations?
- stillsut 8y agoThe first half of Schultz's Pour Your Heart Into It. Even its title, similar to Kroc (his: Grind It Out).
- ewhanley 8y agoNot a book but there’s a good episode of the How I Built This podcast that gives a great overview. https://one.npr.org/?sharedMediaId=551874532:554086519 https://one.npr.org/?sharedMediaId=551874532:554086519
- s3r3nity 8y agoI really enjoyed Schultz's "Onward," which talks about his return as CEO in 2008 to turn around Starbucks, which was struggling mightily at the time. Yes, there was a time when Starbucks was not doing well.
