Berry Gordy was an incredible entrepreneur. He created an empire based on what he loved, music. Not only was he able to establish MoTown, but he did so in time where African Americans were not rising to such powerful levels of business. Gordy, continuously tried saving his empire and did not give up until he finally came to grips that he did not want to do it anymore. Gordy, did not fall out of love with music, but at the time he was just doing business for the sake of business and not for his love of music. To leave behind what he considered to be "his baby" not only because he was losing money but because he was not in it as much as before, is the most admirable and disappointing thing about his journey. The strength to give up MoTown is truly incredible but disappointing because it was and continues to be a monumental part of music. Gordy's undeniable skillful ear led his to success. His gradual learning of the music industry and experiencing relationships with several offers led him to be the face of MoTown. Hard work to Berry Gordy can be defined as the phrase "just keep going." He was a man that hustled his way into becoming a legendary man.
If I were to ask Gordy any two questions it would be: 1)How did he find the courage to fight through the struggle of racism, and rejection?
2) What does he think he missed out the most while pursuing his dream?
