Go Broke, Die Rich: Turning Around the Troubled Small Business
William Manchee · 2011
🎙 Narrated by Jeffrey Kafer
77/100
👍 Worth It
William Manchee spent over 35 years advising small businesses as an attorney, and it shows in the concrete, story-driven turnaround advice here — readers specifically praise its practical honesty and, oddly enough, the interspersed poetry. It's Texas-rooted and from 2011, so a few specifics may be dated, but the core turnaround thinking holds up well. Jeffrey Kafer is a professional narrator, so the listening experience should match the quality of the writing.
