G.O.A.T. Wisdom: How to Build a Truly Great Business—From the Founders of Beekman 1802

 

By Brent Ridge and Josh Kilmer-Purcell

Brent Ridge and Josh Kilmer-Purcell launched Beekman 1802 in one of New York State’s poorest counties with no funding, and in the middle of a punishing recession. They didn’t have much of a business plan. But they did have some timeless wisdom that Brent's and Josh’s parents and grandparents had taught them—the “greatest of all time” principles for good living that can also be used as a foundation for any business.

In G.O.A.T. Wisdom, Ridge and Kilmer-Purcell present the twelve principles that made the biggest difference in their entrepreneurial journey, and show how these principles are relevant for anyone ready to defy the odds and grow a brand that matters. Whether you're launching your own venture, growing a side hustle, or looking to make a bigger impact on your company, this book will give you the tools, the confidence, and the inspiration to build something meaningful.
