About this listen

What do 217 rejections, a Brooklyn upbringing, and Italian espresso have in common? They all helped shape the billion-dollar brand we now know as Starbucks.

In this episode, Michael and Lexi dive into the real story of Howard Schultz, the man who didn’t found Starbucks, but turned it into a global phenomenon. Discover how Schultz’s relentless pursuit of his vision (despite over 200 “no’s”) is a perfect example of what it means to live a Seven Eight life.

From swinging for the fences like Babe Ruth to recognizing the power of small daily acts, this episode blends inspiring business lessons with raw personal insights you can apply immediately, whether you’re building a brand, chasing a dream, or just trying to get back up after a fall.
