Transformative leader; Starbucks founder and chairman emeritus; co-founder of the Schultz Family Foundation and the emes project.
Bill Gates Sr. was instrumental in making Starbucks the different kind of company it is today. When another investor tried to cut me out from buying Starbucks in 1987, he stood up for me and told them to stand down. Bill was a legend of unimpeachable character for whom I will be eternally grateful. He will always be remembered for his humility, dignity, and generosity of spirit.

The co-founder of Costco Wholesale (Jeff Brotman) invested in the 1987 round Howard Schultz raised to buy Starbucks. Amazing moment of shared history (among many!) for the two companies.

Recently, I had the privilege of telling the story of my entrepreneurial journey building Starbucks to Ben Gilbert and David Rosenthal for their Acquired podcast. One of the greatest lessons I've learned in life and business is the importance of humility. My experience as a salesperson for Xerox early in my career is a great example. Take a look at the clip below. Watch the full interview at www.acquired.fm or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
