Podcast appearances and mentions of Howard Schultz

Well, that Mosque shooting disappeared faster than cocaine at a Hunter Biden party.Seattle's Democratic Socialist Mayor is losing businesses like no where else. The Colombia Tower Club just closed after 40 years. Amazon Fresh and Amazon Go has closed all their stores. Jeff Bezos left, Howard Schultz founder of Starbucks left. Their capital gains tax collection is down 50%. Per Cushman Wakefield vacancies rates are 36.5 for commercial property. Pioneer square is at 50% vacancy. The Needle, Seattle's iconic structure is now a homeless encampment. Business are running from socialist ideas and sanctuary cities. At this pace tax rates will increase on those remaining. It's just a matter of time for the city to collapse. Fewer people to tax, fewer jobs, more homeless.[X] SB – Ad against TalaricoGod is non-binary6 sexesAmerican flag complicated signalStephen Colbert signs off from late night television, and the media acts like we just watched the first moon landing, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the Beatles reuniting all at once. “Historic ratings!” they cry. “A cultural moment!”Yeah? Let's talk about those numbers.Colbert's final show pulled 6.74 million viewers. And to be fair, that is a big number by today's standards. It was the highest-rated weeknight episode he ever had. Bigger than his premiere. Way above his recent average of around 2.7 million.But here's the problem. Context is undefeated.Johnny Carson's final show in 1992 pulled over 55 million viewers. Fifty-five million. That was when America still had fewer people and fewer TVs. Carson had a 62% audience share. Think about that. Six out of every ten televisions in America were tuned into one guy sitting behind a desk telling jokes.That's not a TV host. That's a national event.Jay Leno signed off with nearly 15 million viewers. David Letterman got almost 14 million. Colbert, meanwhile, needed every other late-night host to basically go dark and funnel their audience to him just to hit half of what Leno and Letterman did.And this was his BEST night, outside of his piggybacking on a Super Bowl one night.That's like a baseball player retiring with a .195 batting average and ESPN running graphics like Babe Ruth just left Yankee Stadium.What happened to late night?Simple. It stopped being funny and started becoming political group therapy.Johnny Carson made everybody laugh. Republicans, Democrats, people who didn't know who the Vice President was. Carson wasn't trying to “educate” America. He wasn't trying to save democracy between commercials for sleep medication and adult diapers. He just wanted to be funny.Colbert and these modern late-night guys? Entirely different business model.Every night became the same routine: Trump joke. Republican joke. Democracy is ending. Commercial break. Repeat until pharmaceutical side effects include “thoughts of self-harm.”At some point, late night stopped feeling like comedy and started feeling like being trapped at a dinner party with your angry NPR cousin who uses the phrase “lived experience” while borrowing money from his parents.And then you see the staff photo.Have you seen this thing? It looked less like a comedy show staff and more like a government agency. I heard estimates anywhere from 120 to nearly 200 people working on that show.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Seattle's Starbucks workers are getting exactly what they asked for — and it's not pretty. After refusing to relocate to the company's Nashville hub and clinging to remote work arrangements, layoffs are now reportedly incoming for employees who believed ideological solidarity was a job benefit. Red states don't have to chase you out when your politics do the work for them.Meanwhile, Seattle's socialist mayor is floating a city income tax and capital gains tax on top of an already brutal cost-of-living crisis. Washington State's constitution has historically blocked income taxes, but Seattle's progressives have never let a legal obstacle slow them down. They will come after your paycheck, your portfolio, and your business — and they will call it compassion.Together, these two stories are the clearest snapshot yet of a city actively destroying itself: workers choosing unemployment over living somewhere functional, and politicians determined to tax away whatever's left. The Seattle doom loop isn't a metaphor anymore — it's official municipal policy.CHAPTERS0:00 Socialist Seattle Mayor Pushes City…3:07 Starbucks Workers Resist Nashville Move3:53 Howard Schultz's Progressive About-Face5:02 How Corporations Quietly Exit Cities6:03 Seattle Staff Reject Tennessee…7:13 Katie Wilson and the Seattle Bubble8:13 Move to Nashville or Lose Your Job9:09 What Nashville Has That Seattle Doesn't10:43 Starbucks Profits While Seattle Declines12:46 Tennessee's Values Drive the Culture Gap13:30 Real ID Headaches in Washington State14:40 Tennessee Declares Nuclear Family Month15:27 Retention Bonuses Before the Layoffs16:58 Katie Wilson's Day-One Starbucks BoycottSubscribe to @reasonablenews for daily coverage of Pacific Northwest politics, urban failure, and the stories the mainstream press won't touch.

The man who built Starbucks into a global brand is sounding the alarm about Seattle — and Mayor Bruce Wilson's far-left policies are front and center. Howard Schultz's public warning isn't just symbolic: it signals that even the most Seattle-loyal institutions have hit their breaking point with a city government that treats businesses as adversaries rather than assets.Wilson's administration has piled on regulations, hostile permitting, and a tax-and-spend posture that's made Seattle one of the most difficult operating environments in the country. When the founder of your flagship corporate citizen goes on record warning of a mass exodus, that's not a PR problem — that's a governance failure playing out in real time.The Starbucks warning joins a long line of business departures, office vacancies, and quiet relocations that the mayor's office continues to dismiss. Pacific Northwest residents are watching their city hollow out while city hall doubles down on the same ideology that drove the problems in the first place.CHAPTERS0:00 Starbucks Founder WARNS - Socialist…1:48 Howard Schultz Skewers Seattle3:03 Starbucks Moves 2,000 Jobs to Nashville3:34 Schultz Built Starbucks Then Left…4:09 Schultz Buys $44 Million Florida…4:53 Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson Claims…5:35 Blue Cities in Red States Still Fail6:09 Microsoft Amazon Costco Built…6:51 Seattle's Tax Stack Chokes Business…7:42 Wilson's Starbucks Boycott Backfires…8:13 Poll: 91% of Washington Businesses Not…9:00 Violent Crime Surges Across Seattle10:50 High Taxes Drive Seattle Families Away11:54 Katie Wilson Tells Millionaires Goodbye13:01 Washington's Regressive Tax Hurts…14:19 Amazon and Microsoft Slash Seattle…16:02 Washington Drifts Toward Detroit's…17:00 Howard Schultz Has Left the Building17:59 Liberal Politics Are Destroying Seattle18:47 2030 Census to Reveal Blue State Exodus19:34 California Replaced Outmigration With…20:13 Leaked Emails Expose Seattle's…21:14 Democrats Face Fallout Across Blue…21:47 AOC's Tax-the-Rich Gown at $35K Gala22:20 Don't Miss the Next EpisodeSubscribe to @reasonablenews for daily coverage of Pacific Northwest politics, urban policy failures, and the stories the mainstream press won't touch.#Portland #RealEstate #EconomicCollapse

In this episode of Washington In Focus Daily, major questions emerge over Washington's business climate, water rights battles, and the growing debate over homelessness policy across the state. Starbucks founder Howard Schultz publicly criticized Seattle and Washington leadership over what he described as an increasingly anti-business political climate, while a Moses Lake family farm continues a costly nine-year legal battle with the Washington Department of Ecology over water rights. The episode also examines Spokane's ongoing fight over homelessness policy and whether Washington should move away from a “Housing First” approach toward a “Treatment First” model focused on addiction recovery.

In the third hour, Dave Softy Mahler and Dick Fain chat with Jon Wilner about a war of words between Lane Kiffin and Steve Sarkisian, college football scheduling, and more, then the guys react to Howard Schultz writing a column about business in Seattle, then Seattle Sounders FC Head Coach Brian Schmetzer talks about their draw last weekend.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, President Trump is eyeing oil-rich Venezuela as a potential 51st state as officials continue to court oil companies for investments in the South American country following the U.S. intervention that removed President Nicolas Maduro from power. Trump said in a phone call with Fox News that he is motivated by the estimated $40 trillion value of oil in Venezuela, adding that he is popular with the country's citizens. Also audio from Bakari Sellers on CNN citing a century of difference in America, former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz calls out Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson over ‘hostile' business environment, Iran's continued non-negotiation is making America look weak and audio from the President jokingly saying he will "do the opposite from what I want" so the Dems would approve.

The gall that Howard Schultz has in the op-ed he wrote is appalling. Ian is not impressed by the NBA right now...and he admits that he watched it last night. Regardless of whether or not Schultz is correct, he shouldn't be the voice of the problem. The NCAA Tournament expansion reminds Ian of what's TOO MUCH when it comes to sports.

This week, Brad leans into a feeling a lot of people don't talk about: doing all the right things… but still feeling stuck.Anchored in Psalm 119:17–30, this episode shifts from last week's focus on priorities to a deeper issue—distraction and lack of clarity.Brad highlights the raw honesty of this passage—“open my eyes,” “my soul is weary,” “my soul melts away”—showing that this isn't surface-level faith, it's a desperate prayer for something real. The message is clear: when life feels heavy or confusing, don't pull away from God's Word—press deeper into it.Using the comeback story of Howard Schultz, Brad draws a powerful parallel. When Starbucks was drifting, Schultz didn't push harder—he stopped everything to refocus. He retrained, re-centered, and helped the company “see again.” The same is true spiritually—sometimes the issue isn't effort, it's vision.Psalm 119 calls us to slow down, ask God to open our eyes, and let His Word move from inspiration to direction. Brad challenges listeners to stop speed-reading Scripture and start sitting in it—to be honest about weariness, reject shortcuts, and let truth reshape how they think and live.The episode wraps with a practical “Open My Eyes 7-Day Reset”:Read Psalm 119:17–30 slowly each dayPray for clarity before readingSit with one verse for 5 minutesWrite down one takeawayAct on itBig Takeaway: You don't need more information—you need clearer vision. Sometimes growth doesn't come from doing more… it comes from finally seeing what matters.

THE COMEBACK ECONOMY | How to Monetize Your Story When the Market Drops YoThe market crashed. Your story didn't."If you've been laid off, passed over, displaced by AI, or just feel like the economy left you behind — this episode was made for you.We are living through the most disorienting economic shift of our generation. Mass layoffs. AI replacing entire departments. The traditional career path collapsing in real time. And millions of people are sitting at home wondering — what do I do now?Here's what nobody is telling you:Every major economic downturn in history has created a new class of self-made people. The 2008 recession birthed Uber, Airbnb, and Instagram. The Great Depression built some of the most resilient entrepreneurs America has ever seen. And THIS moment — right now — is doing the same thing.The people who win in a down economy are not the ones with the most credentials.They are the ones who learned how to turn their story into their most valuable asset.And that is exactly what we break down today.In this episode you'll learn:

After decades of decline, the organized labor movement in the US has seen a resurgence in rank-and-file militancy over the last decade, with increased strike actions and union drives in industries across the economy. And in the story of this recent revival of labor in America, the movement led by predominantly young baristas to unionize coffee giant Starbucks has played a pivotal role. The new documentary Baristas vs. Billionaires takes viewers on a journey through the last five years of the epic, ongoing struggle to unionize Starbucks, told by some of the workers and organizers at the center of that struggle. TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez speaks with director of Baristas vs. Billionaires and Academy Award nominee Mark Mori, and with legendary actor and Academy award nominee Alec Baldwin, who is a producer on the film. Additional links/info: Baristas vs. Billionaires websiteMaximillian Alvarez, Working People / TRNN, “‘Starbucks is the largest labor violator in modern history': Starbucks workers prepare for indefinite national strike” Maximillian Alvarez, Working People / TRNN, “How union organizing can change your life and the world: A conversation with Jaz Brisack”Maximillian Alvarez, Working People / TRNN, “Want to unionize your workplace?

Diving into the early years of Howard Schultz and his unusual path to building Starbucks."I can't give  you any secret recipe for success, any foolproof plan for making it in the world of business. But my own experience suggests that it is possible to start from nothing and achieve even beyond your dreams."-----Sources - Pour Your Heart Into It - Howard Schultz-----Check out my books below:Daily Greatness: Short Stories and Essays on the Act of Becoming Chasing Greatness 2nd Edition - Timeless Stories on the Pursuit of ExcellenceStay connected and check out more on our website:Chasegreatness.net

Howard Behar was there when Starbucks was still figuring out what it wanted to be. And, few people did more to shape the answer. As the company's longtime President, he championed a radical idea that taking care of your people wasn't just the right thing to do, it should be the whole strategy. As he coined, "people over profits." In this conversation, Howard traces that conviction back to his childhood and early adulthood experiences. He reflects on what it truly means to build a culture where human beings come before the bottom line, and why that philosophy scaled further than anyone expected. Howard also shares stories about working alongside (and occassionally butting heads with) Starbucks' other famous "Howard" (Schultz). This is a conversation about not just the need to bring "good" to your company/organization, but how he did it. www.BuildUponTheGood.com and follow us on Facebook, Instagram & Bluesky *Thanks to our sponsor Empire Wine and also Empire Too!

#257: Michaella Gallina built the career most people spend their entire lives chasing. She is a former Wall Street investor, VP of H&R Block and Chief Financial Officer who walked away from the pinnacle of her career to pursue a greater mission—helping others achieve true financial freedom and design a life on their own terms.Raised in a small rural town of just 4,000 people, Michaella learned early that money wasn't about status—it was about access, opportunity, and freedom. By 18, she was financially independent, working multiple jobs while earning both her bachelor's and master's degrees in finance. She went on to build an elite career on Wall Street, working in investment banking, managing high-level portfolios, and eventually becoming CFO of a $100+ million fintech company. She was a top shareholder in Starbucks, Chipotle, Lululemon, Facebook and many other amazing companies. She met with Howard Schultz, Mark Zukerberg, Cheryl Sandberg, Tim Cook, and many other household name CEO's.But despite the success—working with some of the biggest companies and leaders in the world—she realized something was missing. The long hours, high pressure, and constant grind led her to a turning point: success without purpose wasn't enough.At 36, Michaella made a bold decision—she walked away from it all.Today, she's a speaker, coach, and advocate for financial empowerment, helping people—especially women, create independence, choice, and the ability to live life on your own terms. Her work is rooted in a simple but powerful belief: this isn't just about money—it's about building a life of freedom, purpose, and meaning.www.michaellagallina.comEnjoy the show!

Oh, gosh, there goes another one – another billionaire “flighty bird,” angrily flitting away from the home nest that long nurtured him.This latest one is Howard Schultz, the high-flying avaricious avian who tucked away a multibillion-dollar personal fortune as the monopolistic, exploitative CEO of the Starbucks coffee chain. Howard has recently fallen into a deep pout over the downright rudeness he says he's received from officials in his home base of Washington State.What's his gripe? Haven't you heard, he squawks, the state legislature intends to make rich corporatists like me start paying income taxes!Indeed, Washington is one of only nine states with no income tax, even on billionaires. Instead, to fund public needs, it relies on regressive sales taxes paid by poor and middle-income consumers. So, in an overdue stand for fairness and the Common Good, the state is levying a minimal tax on those few elites who haul in more than a million bucks a year – with the money going to such crucial public needs as child care.But damn the need, Billionaire Schultz is foot-stomping furious that he would have to pay his fair share for the upkeep of the state that has helped him thrive. So, Howard has taken flight, winging clear across the country to Florida, where the right-wing governor and legislature shields the rich from pesky taxes.Proving that “Birds of a feather flock together,” the aristocratic chieftains of such other corporate fiefdoms as Amazon, Meta, and Google are also now nesting in Florida's tax-evasion enclaves. When billionaires declare “We're all in this together” – they don't mean you me – only themselves and their tax lawyers.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

In a nation where elections are stolen and the will of the people is ignored, Joe Oltmann Untamed exposes the brutal betrayal from within. Fresh evidence from Runbeck Election Services in Maricopa County shows filled-out ballots mixed with blanks in completely unsecured areas, no chain of custody, no accountability while bipartisan observers watch in horror. This isn't isolated; it's the blueprint for why Americans are now second-class citizens in their own country, forced to subsidize radical agendas in blue states that punish success and reward invasion.From Washington State's new 9.9% millionaire tax driving Howard Schultz and his family to flee Seattle for Florida, to New York's legislature backing Zohran Mamdani's plan to hammer the wealthy with billions in new taxes, the pattern is clear: Democrats raise rates to fund entitlements, illegals, and cronies while businesses and families escape. Chuck Schumer openly vows to reverse every DOGE cut if they retake Congress in 2026, no compromise, total rollback. Meanwhile, Minnesota Democrats unanimously vote to give rent assistance to criminal illegal aliens, and a Pennsylvania councilman rants about arresting ICE agents for doing their jobs.Joe sits down with whistleblower Erik Holt, the former Colorado fire chief fired after turning over election security footage, his ongoing federal First Amendment retaliation lawsuit now in the Tenth Circuit. This episode is a no-holds-barred indictment of the deep-state playbook: rigged elections, punitive taxes, open borders, and retaliation against anyone who dares speak out.

Washington State's recent implementation of a 9.9 percent tax on millionaires is already causing ripples throughout the business community. Starbucks founder Howard Schultz has announced his departure from Seattle, sparking concerns about a potential exodus of high-net-worth individuals and businesses from the state. Critics argue that this tax policy will stifle economic growth, discourage investment, and ultimately harm Washington's overall prosperity. The move raises questions about the long-term consequences of progressive taxation and its impact on the state's economic future, particularly in cities like Seattle that rely heavily on a thriving business environment. Will Washington become a cautionary tale of wealth flight?

We bieden onze excuses aan. We moeten het namelijk wéér over die debiele importheffingen van president Trump hebben. Nu het Amerikaanse hooggerechtshof een streep heeft gezet door eerdere heffingen, moet de Amerikaanse regering een list verzinnen. En dat doet het nu met een nieuw onderzoek. Een onderzoek naar landen als China, Japan en ook naar Europa. En de uitkomst is zo goed als zeker: nieuwe heffingen. Waardoor we ons weer kunnen opmaken voor een economische aanval. Over aanvallen gesproken, we hebben het ook over de Iran oorlog. Dag 13 van het conflict in het Midden-Oosten. De olieprijs steeg weer verder, nu meerdere olietankers werden aangevallen. Al blijft Trump volhouden dat 'ie aan het winnen is.In deze aflevering gaat het ook over mode. We hebben het over een modereus die al drie jaar lang record op record breekt: Inditex, het bedrijf achter merken als Zara en Pull & Bear. Met als klapstuk de cijfers van vorig jaar: 40 miljard aan omzet en een winst van ruim 6 miljard euro. Ongekend voor een kledingbedrijf (dat kenners omschrijven als een techbedrijf dat kleren verkoopt).

Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld.

Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat.

Legacies get talked about for years. We're pulling back the curtain on why “good” numbers can coexist with low morale, vanishing initiative, and creeping turnover—and how to flip that dynamic by leading people, not spreadsheets.We start with a simple tale that's all too common: a top performer saves hundreds of hours with an automated workflow and gets dinged for being five minutes late. That's transactional leadership in a nutshell—an exchange of time for money and compliance for praise—efficient in the short term and corrosive over time. From there, we unpack the traits of transactional cultures: rigid rules, quarterly thinking, burnout, and a blind spot for investments that free time and lift quality. Then we go deeper into transformational leadership, where recognition, opportunity, and mentorship replace micromanagement, and where initiatives that challenge “how we've always done it” get a genuine pilot, not a polite burial.You'll hear why Howard Schultz refused to cut healthcare for part-time partners at Starbucks—despite a $300M “savings”—and how that choice slashed turnover and compounded loyalty. We contrast that with Blockbuster's fixation on late fees, a classic data-trap that protected today's slice while forfeiting tomorrow's market. We also rewrite our opening story with a different leader, one who sets aside the keyboard, studies the idea, and gives the innovator a platform to teach. The result isn't a one-time spike; it's a culture shift from renters to owners.Along the way, we share scenario drills you can use right now: how to respond to a missed deadline, test a bold policy change, staff an emergency weekend without bribery, and run an annual review that charts a three-year path. Expect clear, practical takeaways rooted in leadership fundamentals—individualized consideration, intellectual stimulation, inspirational motivation, and modeling the behavior you want repeated.If you're ready to retain great people, attract better ones, and build a patient or customer experience that keeps winning, hit play. Then share this with a manager who still thinks bonuses are the only lever. Subscribe, leave a quick review, and tell us: which habit are you changing first?

Mental toughness isn't something you're born with, it's a capacity you build. Rich Horwath sits down with Dr. Jim Loehr, widely regarded as the father of mental toughness, to explore what it truly takes to perform at your best under pressure. Drawing from decades of work with elite athletes, executives, military leaders, and physicians, Jim reframes performance as an energy challenge not a time problem. The conversation moves beyond mindset into the science of energy management, resilience, and recovery. Jim explains why tolerating failure is essential to growth, how pressure becomes a gift when properly trained for, and why purpose is the ultimate anchor in high-stakes environments. From Novak Djokovic to Special Forces teams, the principles remain the same. The discussion culminates in Jim's evolution from performance psychology to character. Enduring success, he argues, is rooted in moral and ethical character, integrity, compassion, and kindness, and the disciplined investment of energy into what matters most.  

"It's off the record until it's on the page." That's a line from our As Told To podcast conversation with award-winning author/ghostwriter Joanne Gordon, reflecting on the level of trust that exists between author and subject in a successful book collaboration. A former staff writer and contributing editor at Forbes, where she wrote about management, career, and workplace issues, Joanne is the author of more than a dozen books, with a focus on helping business and thought leaders elevate their voices and share their stories. She is the co-author, most recently, of Bag Man: The Story Behind the Improbable Rise of Coach, written with former Coach CEO Lew Frankfort—"an illuminating behind-the-scenes look at a global brand's success," according to Publishers Weekly. Joanne has also helped to write books for Ginni Rometty, the former Chairman and CEO of IBM, and Howard Schultz, the founding Chairman and CEO of Starbucks. Her first collaboration, Roadtrip Nation: A Guide to Discovering Your Path in Life, written with Mike Mariner and Nathan Gebhard, grew out of an assignment for Forbes and became the basis for a film documentary and a PBS series. Her own book, Be Happy at Work: 100 Women Who Love Their Jobs and Why, explores how women pursue fulfilling careers. In 2024, Joanne was named by The Information as a "Top Five" ghostwriter of business books and was honored by Gotham Ghostwriters and the American Society of Journalists and Authors with an Andy Award for "Best Business and Thought Leadership Collaboration." for her work on the Rometty memoir, Good Power.

Burnout recovery often begins when everything falls apart. This episode reframes collapse as alignment — showing why endings aren't evidence of failure, but invitations to rebuild from identity, not fear. For high-capacity humans ready to realign at the root.When life or leadership starts to crumble, most high-capacity humans interpret it as failure. But what if the collapse isn't punishment — it's permission?In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly unpacks the hidden psychology behind collapse, drawing from neuroscience, faith, and the ILR pathway to show how breakdown often signals that external success has outpaced internal alignment.You'll discover how identity drift (when achievement races ahead of self-concept) creates internal dissonance that the nervous system can no longer sustain. Through the lens of Identity-Level Recalibration — the psychology-backed, faith-rooted pathway that realigns biology, behavior, and belief — Julie reframes collapse as the body's and the Spirit's built-in restoration system.Howard Schultz's story of rebuilding Starbucks after overexpansion illustrates how losing your way can lead to rediscovering your soul. Just like Schultz, many leaders don't need a reinvention — they need a return.You'll learn:Why collapse is often the nervous system's way of restoring truth.How ILR closes the gap between who you've become and who you're pretending to be.The difference between breakdown and realignment — and how to tell which one you're in.Why divine architecture often requires demolition before reconstruction.Through faith-forward insight and psychological depth, this episode helps you see endings differently — as sacred invitations to rebuild on truth.Micro Recalibration: Ask yourself, “What's collapsing that might actually be clearing space for clarity?” Then write this truth somewhere visible: “This isn't falling apart. It's falling into alignment.”This isn't therapy. This isn't coaching. This is Recalibration — the root-level shift that makes every other tool work again.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

What’s Trending: Parents protest outside of Bothell elementary school due to a new uniform policy, Howard Schultz drops his plans to run as an Independent candidate in 2020, Jason went and saw IT: Chapter 2, and Sarah Sanders goes on Fox & Friends that she is still getting hate in public. Sedro-Woolley Councilmember Germaine Kornegay talks about the offensive newsletter about the KKK that was mailed out to the community. Jamele Hill’s awful take is promoting segregation.

It's 2023 and Howard Schultz's hand-picked successor as CEO is facing trouble. While employees are voting to unionize, competitors are targeting Starbucks' perceived weaknesses. Dunkin' and others are beating Starbucks on price, while McDonald's hopes to beat Starbucks on speed of service. Starbucks' bottom-line breaks under that pressure. When it does, Schultz turns against his successor, leading Starbucks' board to search for yet another leader. The new boss has a new plan, but it sounds old: Turn Starbucks back into the kind of community coffeehouse that Howard Schultz originally built.
