I was so inspired by this book! Reading about the genesis of the entrepreneurs' ideas as well as how they raised the money to make them happen was extremely compelling. I liked the variety of people featured and a lot of them run companies whose products I use like Lisa Prince of Carol's Daughter, Jen Rubio of Away, Joey Zwillinger and Tim Brown of Allbirds, and Jim Koch of Sam Adams Brewery. They all share great tips for how to overcome the hurdles of starting your own business and actually make it succeed.
If you've listened to Raz's NPR show, you'll find his writing reflects his voice and the book is well-paced. This isn't your typical business book - it's a practical and engaging look at the entrepreneurial process from start to finish. Anyone can have a great idea. These are the people who took theirs and ran with them and I have a whole new appreciation for the work that goes into doing that after reading their stories.
