Except for Seth Tibbott, to whom it does--but only after fifteen years of intrepid failure. \u003ci\u003eIn Search of the Wild Tofurky\u003c\/i\u003e tells the triumphant tale of how a self-described hippie with no business training but plenty of enterprising goals grew a $2,500 startup into a global brand and ushered in a plant-based foods renaissance along the way. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Tibbott took home a grand total of $31,000 in his first nine years of striving to bring to the people a nearly unknown soy product--tempeh--he knew in his gut was revolutionarily tasty. He eschewed a buttoned-up lifestyle and resided in tipis, trailers, and a treehouse; rented workspace to piano-repairing circus clowns; and even briefly counted the infamous Rajneeshees as clients. Tibbott was never one to chase the money or try to fit in. Instead, he built a business that fit him. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Thus Tibbott discovered the \"secret sauce\" ingredients that took his now-international brand from fameless to fame-ish to famous: bootstrapping, building business intuition, and staying true to his belief in eco-friendly practices. \u003ci\u003eIn Search of the Wild Tofurky\u003c\/i\u003e proves that a good idea can change the world \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e make money, no matter the naysayers or the sometimes harsh twists and turns of the unconventional path. Look no further for a delightfully unexpected $100 million story of hope and hustle. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Seth Tibbott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1635766532\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781635766530\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Diversion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.10h x 6.20w x 0.70d","brand":"Seth Tibbott","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43986310332671,"sku":"9781635766530","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_76bcf537-72ec-468b-8c46-92700e2fc3a3.jpg?v=1683282604","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-search-of-the-wild-seth-tibbott-9781635766530","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
