"This book shares valuable lessons for entrepreneurs and those in the business world. It is an easy, quick, conversational read that keeps the tone honest for readers. I found myself genuinely engaged throughout. A lot of founders don't talk about failure and I think the honesty found among the founders in this book is commendable and will really help entrepreneurs."
