How Starbucks Saved My Life | Michael Gates Gill | Kharidobechobooks

In his fifties, Michael Gates Gill had everything a son of privilege could want: a suburban mansion, an Ivy League education, a loving family, and a lucrative six-figure salary. Within a few short years, a sudden corporate downsizing, a messy divorce, and a brain tumor diagnosis completely stripped him of his lifestyle. Left with no income or health insurance, he happens across a hiring event and takes a job scrubbing toilets and pulling espresso shots at Starbucks. Reportable to a 28-year-old African American manager, Michael must strip away his lifetime of entitlement to learn the true value of humility, hard work, and real human connection.
