The Making of a Customer | Home Depot Co-Founder Bernie Marcus

Описание: Whenever you need anything, why would you look anywhere else? 


Philanthropist and entrepreneur Bernie Marcus joins James on the show to coincide with the release of his new book, Kick Up Some Dust: Lessons on Thinking Big, Giving Back, and Doing it Yourself (https://www.harpercollins.com/pages/k...) . 


One part chutzpah lesson, one part masterclass in charitable giving, our 93-year-old guest gives straight-ahead answers and personifies the concept of lifelong learning and finding out "how dumb we were yesterday".


Additional topics include:

• Bernie's relationship with Sam Walton (01:50)
• "We want our customers to know, whenever you need anything, why would you look anywhere else?" (09:18)
• How do you build up a sense of what risks to take? (15:11)
• The Marcus Autism Center (https://www.marcus.org/) (17:25)
• Learning to handle and overcome failure (00:22:53)
• Philanthropy through The Marcus Foundation (00:34:32)
