Michael Gill

Michael Gates Gill was born with all the material advantages that America can offer, and spent his childhood surrounded by famous intellectuals and socially connected people. After 25 years of devoting his life to work, he was suddenly fired – he ound himself broke, his marriage dissolving, learned he needed a brain operation, and was desperately looking for work to help support his five children. Then he found a job at Starbucks where he still works as a barista.
