Delve into the journey of how Whole Foods Market was established 40 years ago by two individuals with no business background, exploring their motivations, humble beginnings, and growth into a national company. Reflect on past decisions, advice to a younger self, and the positive outcomes of selling to Amazon, while discussing the relationship between an entrepreneur and their business. Address the concept of conscious capitalism, importance of businesses having a higher purpose, and personal experiences of facing backlash for expressing political views as a CEO.
