episode 215: From Segregation to Boardroom: The Larry Thornton Experience
Join us as we sit down with an inspiring figure, Larry Thornton, an accomplished entrepreneur, servant leader, and artist. Hear how a humble African-American student from the segregated South rose to own a McDonald's franchise and secured a seat on the board of directors for Coca-Cola. Larry's journey is a testament to resilience and determination, and his advice, "Show up and show up on time," is so simple yet profoundly impactful.
Get an intimate understanding of Larry's early years, experiences with segregation and integration, and how the historic Brown v. Board of Education decision altered the course of his life. He shares openly about how he momentarily lost his way in 9th grade, discouraged by the pervasive messages of inferiority. But this is a story of triumph, not defeat, as Larry found his way back, excelling in learning and life.
In this episode, we also delve into the ethos of The Why Not Win Institute, an initiative Larry founded to empower individuals to harness their emotional intelligence and realize the importance of personal accountability and discipline. Larry's parting wisdom? Small, consistent changes can transform a life. Please find us on social media to continue the conversation with Larry Thornton, who's living proof that perseverance and belief in one's potential can conquer adversity.
