Hosť podcastu: JOZEF BANÁŠ, spisovateľ Hovoríme o jeho novej knihe Som Baťa, dokážem to! Motivačný príbeh zakladateľa baťovskej tradície, špičkového obchodníka a motivátora. Otec odmalička učil Tomáša narábať s peniazmi, požičiaval mu a vysvetľoval, čo je to úrok, pôžička ap. Aké boli vzory Tomáša Baťu? Okrem iných Edison a Henry Ford. A ešte jeden človek, o ktorom sa v literatúre o Baťovi píše málo... Ako sa zrodili slávne séglovky, baťovky? T.Baťa v podstate zachránil 4000 mladých mužov pred možnou smrťou, narukovaním na vojnu. Historické pozadie dodáva románu autentickosť: zavedenie petrolejových lámp, veľká vojna ai. Ako pretvoril T.Baťa mesto Zlín? Z maličkého mestečka na veľké prosperujúce mesto s mnohými prvenstvami? Román výborne zhmotňuje Baťu, jeho osobnosť, morálku, manažérske schopnosti, aj workoholizmus.
