The Delivery Man The Art of turning ideas into products in Silicon Valley

"This is a gem of a book for anyone who wants to have a successful career in any field they choose because while it focuses on the world of Silicon Valley, it also applies to any line of work. Highly recommended." - Maria Victoria Beltran, Readers'Favorite ★★★★★
"This author offers a lot in this captivating, thought-provoking, and how-to book, from his rich experience to the compelling leadership ideas, and he writes in a voice that is irresistible and in prose that is crisp." The Book Commentary ★★★★★
"A readable and relatable guide to being the one who makes tech dreams come true. Taveau fills his book with energetic prose even as he tells readers the unpleasant truth: A great many people want to be innovators, but few set out to be the person who makes the innovator's ideas work in practice. In straightforward, congenial prose, he advises his readers to stick up for themselves even while facilitating the dreams of others." Kirkus Review
"An accessible and revelatory glimpse into top-shelf innovation and personal achievement. Though this memoir is inspired by the Silicon Valley world of startups, it holds deeper existential and philosophical lessons about work ethic, ambition, praise, and purpose. Whether you are a veteran developer at a Fortune 500 company or a design student, there are lessons to be learned throughout the book. The Delivery Man is an exceptional insider's look at tech creation, seasoned with actionable wisdom from a truly impressive career, and offering a crib sheet for powering forward in one's chosen field." Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★
"Taveau is a humble guide whose recollections humanize his recommendations. He names his past struggles to showcase the perils and promise of working with capable teams and inspiring visionaries." - Jeremiah Rood, Clarion review ★★★★
"Taveau chronicles his humble beginnings in start-ups, his record of expertise and innovation working from the ground up with companies like PayPal Mobile and Zelle, offering clear-eyed lessons from those experiences-and from challenges, triumphs, and disappointments alike. Each chapter ends with a "key takeaway" ("It's going to be messy. Just accept it.") or important advice, though the book's power is in its detailed, engaging narrative and Taveau's welcome frankness." - Booklife Review A Rating
