An ideal graduation gift—this timely, inspiring guide for young, aspiring 21st-century Zentrepreneurs on how to achieve their goals and dreams, liberate their natural energies, and live a life of passion and purpose, from the Ministers of The Republic of Tea, one of the fastest growing and successful beverage brands in America today. As the leading purveyor of only the finest teas and herbs in the world, The Republic of Tea is a progressive, socially conscious California company, founded in 1992 by the co-creators of The Banana Republic, and acquired in 1994 by Ron Rubin, a young entrepreneur who was inspired to buy the company after reading the founders' book,The Republic of Tea. Marketing veteran Stuart Gold joined Rubin soon after and, within six years, the company has experienced tremendous growth selling its sought after products through its exclusive award-winning mail order catalog and to 20,000 specialty food stores, cafes, restaurants, and select department stores, such as Neiman Marcus, Marshall Fields and Nordstrom's. Rubin's and Gold's unusual—and successful—approach to business and life has brought them numerous speaking invitations from colleges and organizations, and frequent requests for a book about how they work. Now, inSuccess@Life, the two leaders present their philosophy of enlightenment and discovery, their personal experience, and homespun lessons so that others can catch and live their dreams.
