Chapter II

His mindset and hit.

He's not collecting the money he earned.

  • "failure."
  • "I went up to New Hampshire where there's no sales tax cuz I needed to save that money." And I looked at a company, hadn't bought anything yet, and he cut me off."
  • "It's leverage, team, team."
  • "They had all the failure, but the prevention failed because it was missing some of that magic."

The beginning of his story.

  • Samuel Adams was made in his own kitchen 40 years ago; started at minimal cost — renting off off off-the-shelf wineshops, having no office for a year, doing business at a pay phone booth, importing beer flowers from Bavaria.
