About this listen

“National Best-seller—New York Times, USA Today, Publisher’s Weekly, Wall Street Journal

The funny and talented Chip Gaines is well known to millions of people as a TV star, renovation expert, bestselling author, husband to Joanna, and father of four in Waco, Texas. But long before the world took notice, Chip was a serial entrepreneur who was always ready for the next challenge, even if it didn’t quite work out as planned. Whether it was buying a neighborhood laundromat or talking a bank into a loan for some equipment to start a lawn-mowing service, Chip always knew that the most important thing was to take that first step.

Now a #1 New York Times bestselling book, Capital Gaines offers readers a ringside seat as Chip relives some of his craziest antics and the lessons learned along the way. His mentors taught him to never give up and his family showed him what it meant to always have a positive attitude despite your circumstances. Throw in a natural daredevil personality and a willingness to do (or eat!) just about anything, and you have the life and daily activity of Chip Gaines.

Capital Gaines is the perfect book for anyone looking to succeed not only in business but more importantly in life.

Not just good but amazing

So I stumbled across this book and it’s my favourite book of this decade or maybe even longer. I needed this book. I feel I’m at a cross roads in life, I don’t do self help books and this and the Magnolia Story were perfectly timed. This book is like a great friend giving you a hug, it’s like your mum and dad encouraging you and being proud of you. Listen to it, if only because it will make you feel happy and give you joy.

Find me someone who doesn't like Chip Gaines!

If you could sum up Capital Gaines in three words, what would they be?
Thought-provoking, entertaining and touching.

Who was your favorite character and why?
Well this book is a more or less an autobiography, so that doesn't apply. Well if you really push me, i'd say Chip.

Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances? How does this one compare?
He's not done many, apart from in the Magnolia book, but he's got a great voice.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
I'll be back! Does not apply, would be a strange film.

Any additional comments?
Could easily do this in one sitting.
