Finance ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
The Family-First Entrepreneur
Steve Chou · 2023
🎙 Narrated by Steve Chou (self-narrated)
76/100
👍 Worth It
Steve Chou makes a genuinely good case that you don't have to torch your family life to build something real, and his own side-hustle-to-business story gives the advice real weight. This is a case where I'd actually recommend the audio over the page - his self-narration is warm and authentic, and it makes for an easy, honest drive-time listen.
