Sounds like this man came up from humble beginnings, got a good education,a decent job, worked hard, and made his way to the top. He has great people skills and this is an awesome American story of dedication and hard work! Great job man!!!

I love the part where he talks about his Grandmother. “We are going home and I will make you a McDonalds”. This is something I think every kid growing up, especially in humble means, has heard. Much respect for his Grandmother for raising such a hard working and decent man. God bless.

This guy grew up in a poor rough neighborhood, worked his way up from the bottom, and became the CEO of a huge corporation. That is true black excellence.

McDonalds has healthy menu options. Don't blame them for what their customers want to order.

I worked at McDonald's for about 8 months. I needed the money. It wasn't bad. And it was a really positive experience I could throw on a resume. I'm thankful for any opportunity to work and it's led me down a pretty good road.

As an African I will never complain or blame anyone for my failures. In America it's your choice to succeed and or fail. Watch what and who is around you. Don give up ealry.
