When Crystal, a confident young African-American woman, asked "Would you like a job?" I never imagined those five words would transform my life. There I sat in a Manhattan Starbucks, wearing my Brooks Brothers suit, wallowing in self-pity after being fired from my prestigious advertising career. At sixty-four, nearly broke after decades of privilege, I answered with unexpected honesty: "Yes." This exchange began my improbable journey from advertising executive to Starbucks barista - a story that would later captivate millions and attract Tom Hanks, who acquired the film rights. What makes this journey particularly compelling is how it inverts traditional power dynamics - a wealthy, Yale-educated white man working for and learning from a young Black female manager. The path from drinking lattes to serving them would teach me more about life, respect, and happiness than my previous six decades of privilege ever had.
