	Howard Schultz 1953— - FINDING HIS NICHE, DIVERSIFICATION AND EXPANSION
		Schultz grew up in the Carnisie housing projects of Brook lyn, where he was deeply affected by his father's struggle to provide for his family.
		Schultz thought that the coffee-bar experience could be the next evolutionary step for Starbucks in America; when the founders disagreed, he reluctantly left the company and opened his own Italian-style espresso bars in the Seattle area.
		Schultz had optimistically promised investors that Star-bucks would expand rapidly, even though Seattle was already filled with coffee stores and the rest of the country had yet to show interest in espresso drinks.

	Do You Hear What Starbucks Hears?
		Schultz: It was to integrate Hear Music's understanding of the music industry and their acumen as it related to their sense of editorial voice with Starbucks in a complementary way.
		Schultz: Santa Monica is the first manifestation of a much larger, much more aggressive, more intricate strategy in terms of how music is going to play a significant role in Starbucks, both in our existing stores and in the future of the Hear Music stores like the one you saw in Santa Monica.
		Schultz: That question is really linked to what the business is. Every business really has to understand what their consumer proposition is and be able to strengthen that at every level within the company and the consumer, at every touchpoint that the consumer has.
