John Mackey
John Mackey is an entrepreneur-author focused on business leadership, conscious capitalism, and healthy food. Best known for Conscious Capitalism, a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller, as well as Conscious Leadership and the memoir The Whole Story, he co-founded Whole Foods Market and led the company for 44 years.
Biografia e Percorso dell'Autore
John Mackey was born and raised in Houston, Texas, and his path to authorship began far from the usual literary route. He attended Trinity University and the University of Texas at Austin, immersing himself in philosophy, religion, psychology, world literature, and history, but left without a degree after pursuing the subjects that interested him rather than a formal credential. A decisive turning point came at Prana House, a vegetarian co-op in Austin, where an interest in counterculture became an interest in food. In 1978, he and Renee Lawson opened SaferWay; in 1980, that store merged with Clarksville Natural Grocery to become the first Whole Foods Market. When a devastating Austin flood struck in 1981, Mackey later treated the recovery effort by customers, suppliers, friends, and family as an early lesson in what he would come to call the stakeholder model.
