Part 2 of 2: How Love, Not Coffee, Built The Starbucks Empire| Howard Behar

How Love, Not Coffee, Built The Starbucks Empire | Howard Behar

What if love is the ultimate business strategy we’ve all been missing?

You crushed the goals.

You climbed the ladder.

You earned the applause.

But deep down... do you know you’re still losing?

Welcome to The Dov Baron Show — where we don’t just sharpen leaders, we tear down illusions.

In Part 2 of this raw conversation with Howard Behar — the man who grew Starbucks from 28 stores to over 15,000 — we dismantle the myths poisoning modern leadership and expose what it really takes to build a life (and legacy) worth a damn.

🔥 In This Episode:

• Why chasing status secretly destroys your soul (and how Howard almost sold his).

• The dirty little secret Starbucks doesn’t advertise—and how love, not coffee, built the empire.

• What tech giants today are getting dead wrong about leadership.

• The shocking boardroom betrayals that forced Howard to choose between his paycheck... and his purpose.

• How the myth of “growth at any cost” is hollowing out companies from the inside.

• Why if your company isn’t built on love — it’s already dying.

• What Satya Nadella knew that saved Microsoft—and what every CEO needs to steal from him yesterday.

⚡ Warning: If you’re still defining leadership by your LinkedIn bio or net worth, this episode will wreck you — in the best way possible.

Your mission — if you’re brave enough:
Burn the false idols. Build something that matters.

Because the moment you stop questioning what you’ve been taught...
You start living someone else's lie.
