About this listen

To succeed in business and in life, you must be focused and committed. But it also takes serendipity and a certain amount of alchemy.

Stephen Gillett went from part-time technology specialist at an office depot to one of the youngest CIOs of a Fortune 500 company by keeping himself fully present and open to all possibilities.

In From Simi Valley to Silicon Valley, Stephen shares his remarkable journey and the valuable lessons he learned while working with Bill Gates, Starbucks’ Howard Schultz, and a host of other influential innovators.

Serendipity is more than being in the right place at the right time. It’s about being flexible enough to allow unexpected things to enter and transform your life.

Stephen’s inspiring personal story of extraordinary achievement will light the path for others who are willing to keep their minds open, stay true to their values, and embrace their own contradictions.

Maybe a more dynamic 1st chapter and maybe a younger (like Stephen) narrator, but the book has several worth listening stories with work-wisdom findings.
