The School of Business for October 13, 2007

It's Business School as un-usual with Russ and John. Hear them quote words of wisdom from Albert Einstein, give us a Cuba themed history lesson, teach us new and interesting versions of English, and what not to include in your bagged spinach.

Dan Cathy of Chick-fil-A

Dan Cathy, president and COO of Chick-fil-A, is not above camping-out in the parking lots of new restaurants - always a well-attended social event. His "Eat Mor Chikin" billboards have won international advertising awards. The company was the first to establish a scholarship program for employees and reached its $20 million scholarship milestone in 2005. Complacency is simply not tolerated in this 61-year-old company, and its marketing efforts are truly inspirational.
