Produktbeschreibung

Praise for The Mac & Cheese Millionaire "The Mac & Cheese Millionaire will take you on a journey fueled by determination, compassion, and purpose. Transforming lives through comfort food and elbowing her way into people's hearts, Erin's story is sure to inspire anyone who dreams of making a difference." --Danny Meyer, Founder of Union Square Hospitality Group and New York Times bestselling author of Setting the Table "One of the most wise and funny management books ever written. The Mac & Cheese Millionaire is a beautiful blend of Erin Wade's rollicking no-bullshit memoir and her hard won and relentlessly useful lessons for building a humane and profitable business." --Robert I. Sutton, Professor Emeritus at Stanford University and New York Times bestselling author of The No Asshole Rule, The Friction Project, and Good Boss, Bad Boss "A delightful memoir that doubles as a management and career guide for the modern era, The Mac & Cheese Millionaire offers both humor and wisdom. Erin Wade shares her remarkably adventurous life experiences and along the way decodes how to build a better company and a better relationship with work." --Amy C. Edmondson, Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management at Harvard Business School and author of Right Kind of Wrong and The Fearless Organization "In transforming herself from high-priced corporate lawyer to mac and cheese queen, Erin Wade made an unexpected discovery: she loved business as much as her favorite dish. What's more, she turned out to be equally skilled at both and she wound up selling her mac and cheese restaurant for millions of dollars. Read this book to share the joy of her journey, even if you don't love mac and cheese." --Bo Burlingham, author of Small Giants and Finish Big "Any small business owner will find Erin's thoughtful experiment--in creating a job she could love by opening a restaurant--a joy to read. Post pandemic, with work force stability and satisfaction at an all-time low, Erin's story could not be more timely or useful." --Mary Sue Milliken, award-winning chef and co-owner of the Mundo Hospitality Group "The Mac & Cheese Millionaire captures the true spirit of entrepreneurship--the wild, gritty, sometimes lonely but ultimately creative act of starting something new. It's about problem solving and refusing to take the status quo as a given. A compelling read for anyone looking for their own path to defining success." --Ann Miura-Ko, co-founding partner at Floodgate and named the "Most Powerful Woman in Startups" by Forbes
