In this episode, Dr. Rod Berger spends time with Forbes's very first 'Entrepreneur of the Year' (2001), Bob Stiller. Bob shares his journey of building a multibillion-dollar company, emphasizing the importance of intuition, continuous improvement, and social responsibility. We'll explore how Bob's upbringing and his father's high ethical standards shaped his business philosophy and how he used techniques like the Silva method to hone his instincts.
Bob delves into the Green Mountain story, highlighting its commitment to environmental and social causes and the powerful concept of co-creation within teams. We also discuss the stressful yet pivotal moments, such as the acquisition of Keurig, and the challenges of succession planning.
We'll hear about Bob's reflections on personal awareness, motivation, and the role of inspiring stories in business. Plus, we'll touch on his new book, "Better and Better: Creating a Culture of Purpose, Excellence, and Transformative Human Engagement," which captures the essence of his philosophy and the lessons he's learned.
Join us as Bob Stiller takes us through his experiences, filled with wisdom on entrepreneurship, corporate social responsibility, and the human elements that drive success.
