When most people think about Starbucks...they think of coffee. But, for Michael Gill he thinks of the company that saved his life.
In a true riches-to-rags story, Michael explains how losing his six figure income (as an advertising executive) and landing a job at Starbucks made him humble, appreciative and taught him the true meaning of hard work.
He shares his story with Prime Time Radio as described in his book: "How Starbucks Saved My Life: A Son of Privilege Learns to Live Like Everyone Else."
