Zappos' Tony Hsieh Aspired to Bring Happiness to the World, But Couldn't Find It Himself
from Monday Morning Radio · host Dean Rotbart
The life and death of Tony Hsieh, the billionaire CEO of online shoe-seller Zappos, is a master class in visionary business leadership and a cautionary tale about how fame can mask profound problems. Hsieh, who sold Zappos to Amazon for $1.2 billion, died in a mysterious shed fire in late November 2020 at age 46. This week, two reporters for The Wall Street Journal — Kirsten Grind and Katherine Sayre — join host and award-winning author Dean Rotbart to share details from their newly published biography of the business legend, Happy at Any Cost: The Revolutionary Vision and Fatal Quest o Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh. Theirs is a riveting examination of an entrepreneur who was simultaneously great and deeply flawed.
