Discover the origins of retail giant Walmart and the extraordinary man behind it, Sam Walton, as we journey through his autobiography, "Made in America." Our exploration reveals a tale of perseverance and thrift, from Walton's early days in Oklahoma to his rise as a business titan. Born during the Great Depression, Walton's frugal approach and relentless work ethic laid the foundation for his success. Whether he was selling magazine subscriptions or helming Walmart, these qualities remained central to his story—a story that resonates with entrepreneurs across industries.

Step into the Walton family's strategic world, where financial savvy meets tight-knit family business management. We peel back the layers of the Robson family's influence over Walton, unveiling how early ownership transfers and astute tax strategies fortified Walmart's legacy.
