About this listen

Narrated by Chip!

The most important step is the first one. Dive into Chip Gaines’ personal playbook and start learning how to succeed in business—and in life. A New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and Publisher’s Weekly bestseller!

The funny and talented Chip Gaines is well known as the star of HGTV’s Fixer Upper, as well as a renovation expert, bestselling author, husband to Joanna, and father of five 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.

Capital Gaines offers you a ringside seat as Chip relives some of his craziest antics and the lessons learned along the way, written with Chip’s trademark humor.

In addition to personal stories from Chip’s journey, you'll discover:

  • How to work toward success—and how to determine what that looks like
  • The power of living in a way that rejects fear
  • How to embrace small acts of courage and be bold to go all in
  • What it takes to truly balance your family and career

Capital Gaines is the playbook you need to start redefining success and going after it, no matter what that means to you.

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.

Find me someone who doesn't like Chip Gaines!

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.

Not just good but amazing
