On this episode of Our American Stories, Tom Golisano didn't build Paychex by creating a joyless workplace. He believed people did their best work when they enjoyed coming to the office, and that meant making room for laughter, practical jokes, and a culture where even the CEO wasn't off limits.
The Paychex founder shares some of the company's most legendary office pranks and explains why fun, trust, and camaraderie became part of the culture that helped grow one of America's most successful payroll companies. His book is Built Not Born: A Self-Made Billionaire's No-Nonsense Guide for Entrepreneurs.
