Rags-to-Riches Story

Thirty years ago, Howard Schultz got into the coffee business with one goal in mind: to strengthen the personal relationship between people and their coffee. He’s now responsible for Starbucks, one of the world’s most beloved brands, and worth at least $3 billion as chairman and CEO of the Fortune 500 company. But it wasn’t an easy path to the top. How did Schultz, who came from a working family, overcome misery and grow a small Seattle coffeehouse into the largest coffee chain on Earth?

Schultz was born on July 19, 1953, in Brooklyn, New York. When Schultz was 7 years old, his father broke his ankle while working as a truck driver delivering diapers. At the time, his father had no health insurance or worker’s compensation, and the family was left with no income. In high school, Schultz played football and earned an athletic scholarship to Northern Michigan University. To pay for school, the communications major took out student loans and took up various jobs, including working as a bartender and even occasionally selling his blood.

After graduation in 1975, Schultz spent a year working at a ski lodge in Michigan waiting for inspiration. He finally landed a job in the sales training programme at Xerox. The work didn’t come up to his expectations, so after three years he left to take a job at Hammarplast, a housewares business, where he became vice president and general manager. It was at Hammarplast that he first encountered Starbucks. The coffee shop had a few stores in Seattle and caught his attention when it ordered an unusually large number of coffeemakers. Intrigued, Schultz travelled to Seattle to meet the company’s owners, Gerald Baldwin and Gordon Bowker. He was struck by the partners’ passion. A year later, Schultz persuaded Baldwin to hire him as the director of retail operations and marketing. At the time, Starbucks only had three stores, selling coffee for home use.

Schultz’s career — and Starbucks’ fate — changed forever when the company sent him to an international show in Milan. While walking around the city, he encountered several espresso bars where owners knew their customers by name and served them drinks like cappuccinos and cafe lattes. Schultz realised the power of the personal relationship that people could have to coffee.

In 1985, Schultz left Starbucks after his ideas to cultivate an Italian-like experience for coffee-lovers was rejected by the founders. Schultz spent two years away from Starbucks, focused on opening his own coffee company Il Giornale replicating the coffee culture he’d seen in Italy. In 1987, Il Giornale bought Starbucks for $3.8 million, and Schultz became CEO of Starbucks Corporation. At the time, there were six stores. America swiftly took a liking to Starbucks. In the last 28 years, Schultz has grown the coffeemaker to include more than 21,000 stores in 65 countries.

Throughout his career at Starbucks, Schultz has always prioritised his employees, who he calls “partners.” Largely because of his father’s experience when he was injured, Schultz offers all his employees (including part-time workers) complete health-care coverage as well as stock options. Last year the company announced it would pay for employees’ college tuition. Schultz also announced that Starbucks would hire 10,000 military veterans and their spouses.

What does the author say about Howard Schultz’s treatment of his employees?

Nature’s Strangest Plants

Hydnora

This plant looks like it might belong in a fictional planet in a sci-fi movie. The Hydnora grows completely underground except for the flower. Many beetles have been attracted into its depths by its unpleasant smell. Don’t worry, it doesn’t eat the beetles. It just keeps them until the flower is completely mature. Then the flower opens and all the beetles go into the world. The Hydnora’s fruit takes two years to mature underground and is similar in taste to a potato.

Vegetable Sheep

Its name truly says it all, this plant looks like a sheep. It’s a cushion plant that has many small, very woolly leaves packed as tightly as possible. This plant survives in the harsh, rocky areas of New Zealand because its woolly leaves hold water like a sponge, prevent water being lost through drying winds, and it keeps the plant growing even with very little rainfall. The legend suggests that when Englishmen first arrived in New Zealand, their sheepdogs were so misled by these species that they actually tried to chase and herd them!

This plant ___________________.

Welwitschia

Welwitschia, called after the Austrian botanist who was the first to describe it, is a living fossil found in the deserts of Namibia and Angola. Its close relatives have gone extinct, and its distant relatives include pines, spruces, and firs. It has one very short trunk and two leaves — only two, no matter how old it is. They live from 400 to 1500 or even 2000 years! So, the one you can come across will probably be alive when your great-ereat-great-grandkids are alive.

This plant ___________________.

Venus Flytrap

Not many plants eat things other than sunlight. And even fewer are capable of quick movement. This makes the Venus Flytrap seem like it might be from another planet or something. Actually it’s from marshy areas of North and South Carolina, where the soil is poor in nutrients. From time to time the plant needs a snack. So, how does it eat? Well, with special hairs. When two hairs are touched within 20 seconds of each other the trap closes quickly. Then they do their best to prevent the beetles and spiders from escaping.

This plant ___________________.

Elephant Foot Yam

The Elephant Foot Yam is one of the ugliest flowers in the world and, to accompany it, has one of the worst scents you can imagine. It only blooms when mature and even so it doesn’t bloom every year. Flowers last only about 5 days. During this phase the plant generates heat which can be felt if you stick your hand inside the flower. In some cultures it is cultivated as a delicacy. It can also be ground into flour for making bread.

This plant ___________________.

Corpse Flower

The Corpse Flower has a strong unpleasant smell which helps prevent it from being eaten. Despite it the plant is still a very rare one and looks like it belongs in the movie Avatar. Hardly any of these plants exist in cultivation, and their blooms are rare and unpredictable, occurring once every 10 years. The plant is not actually one big flower, it’s thousands upon thousands of little male and female flowers, and may weigh up to 90 kg. The flowers produce oils, while the centre collects heat.
