This is trend following radio where great thinking comes alive.

Nobel Prize winners, legendary traders, bestselling authors, and the pros that know what drive us irrational human beings.

I am your host, Michael Covel, not filtered, raw, honest.

That's my passion. If you're an American, you probably know about the company Best Buy, a big box store with electronics.

It's been around for a long time.

What you probably don't know is that it almost died about a decade ago, 2012.

Then they hired a CEO, a guy named Hubert Jolie, and he turned the company around.

This was no small project, no small feat, taking a company in the wake of the Amazon explosion,

a big box retailer, and moving it forward and kicking some tail.

Today, Hubert and I discuss his new book, The Heart of Business,

Leadership Principles for the Next Era of Capitalism.

But we also discuss that turnaround of Best Buy,

because that's the fun thing of this podcast,

to get behind the scenes to find out how the leaders,

the big dogs, do something at the highest level. Now you might say to yourself, how is that relevant to me? If you don't think there's a lesson and how Best Buy turned it around,

that you can use that lesson for your own life and

apply it to your own life. You've already lost. Look, we don't have enough time in a lifetime

to make all the mistakes to learn everything. So we have to learn from other people. We have to

live vicariously through them. And today we get to live vicariously through them.

And today we get to live vicariously through the former CEO of Best Buy and learn how he turned Best Buy around.

Without any further delay, let's jump right into my conversation with Hubert Jo Lee.

Talk a little Best Buy and a little of the heart of business.
