Howard Schultz - From a poor boy to Starbucks success.

Howard Schultz was born in 1953 in Brooklyn, New York, into a working-class family. After joining Starbucks in 1982, he was inspired by Italian café culture and envisioned transforming Starbucks into a global coffeehouse chain. 

In 1987, he bought the company and expanded it rapidly, focusing on customer experience and employee welfare, offering benefits to part-time workers. Under his leadership, Starbucks grew to over 30,000 stores worldwide, and Schultz became a billionaire. 

His journey is a powerful example of determination and vision.

Interesting parallel with crypto success stories, where visionaries like Vitalik Buterin transformed an idea into a global phenomenon, just like Howard Schultz did with Starbucks.
