A gripping memoir of one person\u2019s rise from poverty to leading sales organizations for five pioneering technology companies.<\/p>\n

This is a story of how eleven childhood jobs from age nine to eighteen provided the motivation and work ethic to rise through sales organizations to lead sales and channel teams around the world.<\/p>\n

In this collection of stories from his first sixty years, Strubel explores how his childhood shaped his adult life. His stories cover how his father became the first in his family to attend college, then lost his business and the family home after falling on hard times. And how his mom went back to work at minimum wage until a head-on collision ended her ability to work.<\/p>\n

Strubel put himself through college while hitchhiking home on weekends to spend time with his younger sisters. He joined the original Silicon Valley startup who allowed him to work as a co-op every other semester through college, and then joined them for twenty-seven years after he graduated from Indiana University.<\/p>\n

Simple, But Hard tells stories of love and loss, of pain and laughter. Stories of luck and hard work and how both led him from a restaurant dishwasher to become the chief commercial officer of a multi-billion-dollar company. This book will take the reader around the world in a wide range of topics told in short stories.<\/p>\n
