Very interesting and high quality audiobook.
Good advice from successful entrepreneur with interesting and sometimes counterintuitive insights (for example why its more risky to be employee than employer). Important book for history of American business.

Disappointed
Felt the content was fairly self explanatory and not the insightful read that I was expecting. Nothing new that the you can’t already attain from similar business entrepreneur novel’s.
