Audio brings the book to life

What did you like best about this story?

Several things: the business insights. The author's experience in the non-profit space and how that aligns with his experience in the for-profit sector. Inspiring story of a farm boy who reaches the top.

I'm on chaper 9 of the audio book, and it has been all about the authors life history and the history of the jobs he's had. So far, not very helpful.
