Success? You want fries with that?

I  find inspiring stories in the strangest places. Today I was inspired by the smiling face of Carl Wiseman looking up at me from my tray at McDonald's. Carl, whose company Wiseman LLC/Management owns seven McDonald's in West Michigan, is being featured in the company's Best First Job campaign. He started out working a shift  in Muskegon and worked his way up to management and then ownership. It's an American Dream story that seems impossible these days. I never thought of McDonald's as a career opportunity, but Carl showed me I was wrong. Praze to Carl for his hard work and Praze to all those young kids hoping their first job will open doors.
