How Did They Do It?

By Ashley Coates

30 interviews with leading men and women from a variety of fields.

In a series of long-form discussions, the interviewees tell the story behind their careers. From childhood ambitions to early workplace experiences and beyond, the interviews take an in-depth look at their approach to business, their sources of motivation, the trials and tribulations they went through and any advice they may have for those that want to follow in their footsteps. Aged 23 at the time of publication, the author brings the perspective of an individual at the beginning of the career ladder.
