Acerca de esta escucha

Billionaire entrepreneur, distinguished public servant, and father of a former governor and presidential candidate, Jon M. Huntsman, Sr., has been very fortunate in life. The company he founded in 1970, the Huntsman Corporation, is now one of the largest petrochemical manufacturers in the world, employing more than 12,000 people and generating over $10 billion in revenue each year. Success in business, though, has always been a means to an end - never an end in itself.

In Barefoot to Billionaire, Huntsman revisits the key moments in his life that shaped his view of faith, family, service, and the responsibility that comes with wealth. He writes candidly about his brief tenure in the Nixon administration, which preceded the Watergate scandal but still left a deep impression on him about the abuse of power and the significance of personal respect and integrity. He also opens up about his faith and prominent membership in the Church Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. But most importantly, Huntsman reveals the rationale behind his commitment to give away his entire fortune before his death. In 1995, Huntsman and his wife Karen founded the Huntsman Cancer Institute and have since dedicated more than a billion dollars of their personal funds to the fight for a cure. They don't plan to stop giving until the battle is won.

In this increasingly materialistic world, Barefoot to Billionaire is a refreshing reminder of the enduring power of traditional values.

A Very Insightful Book for Entrepreneurs

It’s great to see the example of an entrepreneur growing an empire by being fiercely committed to honesty, charity and outstanding good moral values. Mr Huntsman’s experience shared across all of his multiple business deals with virtually his vision and faith, it’s truly inspirational and remarkable.

Incredible man for sure

I have now listened to this book 3 times. This is a truly inspirational story. The strategies and risk Huntsman took were incredible. But nothing was as incredible as the amount of money he donated or gave away. An excellent listen.

A Life Well Lived

Wow, he seemed to have accomplished a lot in his life time. Rising to the occasion each and every time with the highest regard and reproach of integrity, humility and trustworthiness second to none. I can only hope .....

This was a great matter of facts book. I enjoyed the way he told his life story. Fascinating for me to hear different negotiating ways and his desire to assist others. Great listen

Jon Huntsman Sr, man of integrity and great wisdom!

This was a very interesting book. Being from Utah I’ve heard of the Huntsman family but didn’t know their story. This book is motivating and inspiring! Makes one want to be better. I’d recommend it to all. Thanks Jon Huntsman Sr and family for all you have done and do to make this world a better place to live.

He's one cocky individual

He loves to tell you how awesome he and his kids are. At the same time anyone who didn't agree with him he throws them under the bus. It's pretty sad.
