The Ice Cream Boy Who Became a Billionaire
As a child, Howard Schultz, the future CEO of Starbucks, lived in a poor housing complex in Brooklyn. One cold day, his father broke his leg on the job. There was no insurance. No paycheck. No backup plan.
Howard watched his parents cry—not because of the pain, but because they didn’t know how they’d buy groceries that week.
“I promised myself,” Howard once said, “that if I ever got the chance to run a company, no employee would feel like my father did that day—helpless and disposable.”
Years later, when he led Starbucks, he gave all employees—including part-timers—health benefits and stock options. He made sure their families were cared for.
Not because it was easy.
But because he remembered.
💡 A Lesson to Remember
☕ Greatness doesn’t come from privilege—it comes from empathy, resilience, and purpose.
When your heart leads the way, the world follows.
