The growth of the company and the license that Starbucks has is to participate in other food and beverage opportunities.

And I don't agree with that.

In the 1960s, if you introduced a new product to America, 90% of the people who viewed it for the first time believed in the corporate promise.

I grew up in a working class family where there was no health insurance. I saw first hand the fracturing of the American dream and the bitterness that comes when there is no hope and a lot of despair. So I wanted to build the company, in a sense, that my father never got a chance to work for.
