#105 Les Schwab (Charlie Munger recommended this book)

Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Timestamps stay in sync with the live audio

I wrote this in November and December of nineteen eighty five. I did write this 100% with my forty year old typewriter. I didn't have a ghostwriter. I wanted it in my own words. I hope to pass on some of my theories of business to our people.

And I hope these theories are used in our business for as long as the Les Schwab company continues. Should we fail to follow these policies towards customers and employees, I would prefer that my name be taken off of the business. There could be some interest in this book with people who are interested in business. If so, you were invited to read the book.

I hope in some way this book might help you in the business world. If you are not interested in business This book will bore you. And if I were you I wouldn't waste my time reading it.
