Now what if that CEO used to be a hamburger flipper...and was named
Ray Kroc.

I'm not the least concerned what a name may be, nor does the name Ray
Kroc
mean anything to me. Sorry.


Ray Kroc was a traveling salesman for the mixers used in restaurants.
He went to the McDonald brother's restaurant in his travels and
suggested that they franchise. They weren't interested, and sold him
the rights. He was interested in selling more equipment, and thought
that a chain of restaurants would provide a good income. He wrote a
book* about the history of McDonald's, which the toad never read, or he
wouldn't have called him a burger flipper. Some of his ideas spilled
over into other businesses, like the sliced hamburger buns. It also
describes the mistakes he made along the way, and how he fixed them. It
is the story of someone not afraid of work, and able to think on his
feet. He was 52 when he started the business.
