🎧 About This Episode:

Welcome to The Dov Baron Show — come for the stories, stay for the uncomfortable truths.

.

Today’s guest is Howard Behar, the man who helped turn Starbucks from a local coffee shop into a global phenomenon — 28 stores to 15,000 — but almost sacrificed his soul on the altar of ambition.

.

This is not another leadership pep talk. This is a leadership wake-up call.

👉 Inside This Episode:

.

• Why most “successful” leaders are secretly miserable (and how to avoid their fate).

 

• How being busy became the new drug for the insecure.

 

• Why knowing your values isn’t optional — it’s survival.

 

• Howard’s personal rule: Bet your job every day — or betray yourself forever.

 

• The hidden cracks inside Starbucks' explosive growth story.

 

• Why conscious capitalism isn’t idealistic — it’s the only way to win.

.

• How losing yourself for a paycheck is the most expensive deal you'll ever make.

.

• Servant leadership — the model that makes narcissists irrelevant.

 

• How wearing "only one hat" at work and home could save your life.

.

Howard doesn’t hold back.
This is about who you are when no one’s looking — and whether you’ll have the guts to stand for it.
