#210 Sam Walton: Made in America
Senra reads Sam Walton's autobiography Made in America and finds the purest expression of customer obsession in business history. Walton's strategy was embarrassingly simple: sell for less than everyone else, forever.

Canon
•
Walton explicitly wrote Made in America to mentor future entrepreneurs. The book is structured as lessons, not memoirs. He treated his autobiography as a posthumous mentorship program.
•
Walton drove the same pickup truck, flew coach, and shared hotel rooms into his seventies as a billionaire. He never adapted to wealth because he genuinely didn't want luxury. The treadmill can't run if you never step on it.
