Acerca de esta escucha
From the New York Times best seller, The Barefoot Spirit, comes a new style of audiobook....
Learn valuable lessons while Hollywood actors voice the parts in this entertaining and true story of Barefoot Wine.
A Sherwood Players Production featuring a full ensemble cast including Hollywood Legends Ed Asner and Gigi Perreau, an original cinematic score, sound effects, and behind the scenes interviews with the real Michael Houlihan and Bonnie Harvey (creators of Barefoot Wine) with author Rick Kushman.
It is amazing that such an iconic brand as Barefoot Wines began as a startup in the laundry room of a rented farmhouse. Even more surprising is that it was started by a business couple with no money and no knowledge of the wine industry.
They regularly ran into difficulties that nearly killed the brand. It was their unshakable belief in Barefoot's potential that kept it going, along with the use of classic business principles, and a never-say-die outlook. Hardship, hustle, and heart are the essence of The Barefoot Spirit.
This book is a testament to the power of out-of-the-box thinking. It is a guide for anyone in business, and a great listen for everyone who loves a rags-to-riches story. Filled with encouragement, inspiration, and empowerment, including:
- How worthy cause marketing out performed paid advertising
- How boot-strapping was used instead of conventional financing
- The surprising advantages of being small and broke
- How creating a fun, yet hardworking company culture encouraged innovative leadership
If you like wine, the wine country, or a story about how a plucky couple disrupted an industry, if you want to know what it takes to really succeed in the face of adversity, if you want to know how to use your core beliefs to build a national brand, then The Barefoot Spirit is for you.

Historia
Meet a genuine American folk hero cut from the homespun cloth of America's heartland: Sam Walton, who parlayed a single dime store in a hardscrabble cotton town into Wal-Mart, the largest retailer in the world. The undisputed merchant king of the late 20th century, Sam never lost the common touch. Here, finally, inimitable words. Genuinely modest, but always sure of his ambitions and achievements. Sam shares his thinking in a candid, straight-from-the-shoulder style. In a story rich with anecdotes and the "rules of the road" of both Main Street and Wall Street, Sam Walton chronicles the inspiration, heart, and optimism that propelled him to lasso the American Dream.

Historia
Steven Spurrier is one of the wine trade’s most important figures. Over the years, he took the role of wine merchant, buyer, wine educator, and lecturer; he wrote books, wine courses, and over 300 columns for Decanter magazine. He set up the breakthrough "Judgement of Paris" in 1976—a tasting in which outsider wines from California were pitched blind against Bordeaux’ finest, and won—which still sends reverberations through the wine trade today.

Historia
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

He is surrounded by Vonnegut's usual large cast of continuing characters (notably here the hack science fiction writer Kilgore Trout and the alien Tralfamadorians, who oversee his life and remind him constantly that there is no causation, no order, no motive to existence).

Historia
Separated by 10 years, 3,000 miles, and the unrelenting stresses of adulthood, best friends Janet and Serena plan a 40th birthday girls’ trip to reconnect. But after a massive crash, they’re the only survivors to wash ashore on an uncharted Caribbean Island. Armed with only the clothes on their backs and zero survival skills, they fight to overcome hunger, thirst, deadly wildlife—and most terrifyingly—decades of accrued resentment. Can they find their way home, or will they kill each other first?

Historia
A bad best man’s speech can ruin a wedding. Why do we plan every detail of a perfect day and then give the groom’s idiot best friend five minutes of total power? Enter Nate (Glen Powell), a speechwriter-for-hire who helps people write incredible best man speeches. To keep the best man from embarrassing himself (and the newlyweds), Nate uses his list of don’ts: Don’t mention the exes, don’t be rated R, and don’t bum everyone out. Nate’s system never fails. That is, until he meets Dan (Nicholas Braun).

Historia
We all have things in our life that we should know by now, but don’t. Absences in our knowledge and skillset that are frankly shameful in an adult. Things that would be too embarrassing to ask anyone to explain – except our very best friend. Listen in as Mel and Sue tackle their ignorance head on, asking each other to explain something that they still don’t know - but absolutely, as adults, should - from how to parallel park to fully understanding bread (why has it got all those holes in it? What, honestly, is yeast?).

Business to my ears
I was able to receive an early copy of this audiobook, and it is so exciting to see it on Audible now! I listen to a lot of audiobooks, and some of the narration puts me to sleep. What is unique about this audio production is that the scenes are acted out, and I feel like I am listening to live theater. The stories are compelling and the business lessons and takeaways are simple and powerful. This is the type of book that I will listen to multiple times. If you want a chance up from the deep base, monotone narration that audiobooks default to, check this out!

Great business and life story
This was just excellent. I enjoyed it as a lover of books and as an entrepreneur.
I had no idea Barefoot had a riveting story. What a journey Michael and Bonnie went on: taking a pile of debt and some leftover product and grinding it over years to turn it into the brand it is today.
The format is unique, the book is both read by actors and there are also cutaway interviews with the founders. Really refreshing way to break up the chapters and brought an authenticity to the story.

Disappointing
The authors boasted about a new and entirely different way of presenting an audio book, making it more of a performance like a movie. They did get good voice actors but the editing was sloppy and kept reminding me that I was listening to people in different rooms and at different times recording their parts. I've listened to many audiobooks with a single narrator that produced a much better effect.
The authors also claimed in a podcast where I heard about this book that it was filled with business insights transferable to any business. while it's true there are some business lessons to be learned in here I would argue you have to dig to get anything that would apply to another business. Things aren't pointed out or identified as business strategies. It's just a story.
In the end this felt more like a reminiscence and a love story between the two authors, which isn't very interesting to me, but if you find that interesting it was probably well done.
