Day 1422 What an origin story

The glorious thing about the internet is that you have endless information at your fingertips. I used said tool to investigate Colonel Sanders, I’m amazed they have not yet made a movie about this guy! Came from nothing, worked odd jobs since he was 12, many failed endeavours and a whole bunch of bad luck. Then finally in his 60’s after GRINDING he made KFC happen. He sold at 72 when he couldn’t keep up with the workload. Then he took the parent company to court after they changed his recipes. He opened a small place in Indiana with his wife and it still operates today! Crazy stuff!
