Delve into the challenges and compromises faced by Starbucks as it expands, the struggle to find supportive investment bankers during its public debut, the advantages of investing with public.com, the empowering role of Shopify in ecommerce, and the significance of understanding a company beyond surface numbers for wise investment.
On today’s episode, Clay discusses the early days of Starbucks and Howard Schultz’s book — Pour Your Heart Into It.
Starbucks has been one of the market's best-performing stocks over the past three decades.
