About this listen

“National Best-seller—New York Times, USA Today, Publisher’s Weekly, Wall Street Journal”

The funny and talented Chip Gaines is well known to millions of people as a TV star, renovation expert, bestselling author, husband to Joanna, and father of four in Waco, Texas. But long before the world took notice, Chip was a serial entrepreneur who was always ready for the next challenge, even if it didn’t quite work out as planned. Whether it was buying a neighborhood laundromat or talking a bank into a loan for some equipment to start a lawn-mowing service, Chip always knew that the most important thing was to take that first step.

Now a #1 New York Times bestselling book, Capital Gaines offers readers a ringside seat as Chip relives some of his craziest antics and the lessons learned along the way. His mentors taught him to never give up and his family showed him what it meant to always have a positive attitude despite your circumstances. Throw in a natural daredevil personality and a willingness to do (or eat!) just about anything, and you have the life and daily activity of Chip Gaines.

Capital Gaines is the perfect book for anyone looking to succeed not only in business but more importantly in life.

Really enjoyed listening to Chip's narration. His storytelling reflects his bubbly personality and he had words of wisdom that resonated with me. We are all co-creators of our lives and we have the ability to design our future - one filled with abundance and prosperity with focus and determination. Persistence is the key - never give up on your dreams. Thanks Chip

A natural storyteller

Nice to hear Chips voice. Bit too preachy and metaphorical in its story telling for me.

Bit too beat around the bush for my attention span

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
it reads like a book that someone was expected to write instead of wanting to write.

it's ok
