From the longtime CEO and chairman of Starbucks comes From the Ground Up, an account of the new responsibilities that leaders, businesses, and citizens share in society today.
What do we owe one another? How do we channel our drive, ingenuity, even our pain, into something more meaningful than individual success?
These questions, at the heart of the American journey, are also ones that Howard Schultz has grappled with since growing up in Brooklyn’s housing projects and while building Starbucks from 11 stores into one of the world’s most iconic brands.
From the Ground Up shows how Schultz, the first in his family to graduate from college, went on to build the kind of company his working-class father never had a chance to work for: a business that tries to balance profit and human dignity. He also offers a behind-the-scenes look at his unconventional efforts to challenge old notions about the role of business in society, from health insurance and free college tuition for part-time baristas to controversial initiatives about race and refugees.
From the Ground Up is an inspiring account of what happens when we come together for purposes bigger than ourselves—a new vision of what can be when we try our best to lead lives through the lens of humanity.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
