Ten years ago, Michael Gill was a high-flying executive at a top ad agency in New York. But in 1997, Gill's world was turned upside down — he was fired from his job, got divorced, and was diagnosed with a brain tumor.
Into this dark nightmare, entered the most unlikely of rescuers — Starbucks. Gill became a barista at the ubiquitous coffee chain and says that the experience rescued him from the depths of despair.
Gill discusses his book, How Starbucks Saved My Life: A Son of Privilege Learns to Live Like Everyone Else.
