About this listen
Few entrepreneurs can claim to have radically changed the way we live, and Ray Kroc is one of them. His revolutions in food-service automation, franchising, shared national training, and advertising have earned him a place beside the men and women who have founded not only businesses, but entire empires. But even more interesting than Ray Kroc the business man is Ray Kroc the man. Not your typical self-made tycoon, Kroc was 52 years old when he opened his first franchise.
In Grinding It Out, you'll meet the man behind McDonald's, one of the largest fast-food corporations in the world with more than 32,000 stores around the globe. An irrepressible enthusiast, intuitive people person, and born storyteller, Kroc will fascinate and inspire you.

Really a great story
I read Ray Kroc’s biography decades ago, yet it read fresh to me. It is really a great story and worth a listen. Superb narration for the character… it really felt like Ray was talking.

Loved it
This book has an old charm about it for sure. Once I got passed the ‘gosh darn its’ and bizarre sayings from the passed, I loved it. Great insight to a man who started an extremely profitable business.
Is he a great person, maybe not but sure knew how to work hard.

A true grinder
It seemed he was ina relentless struggle in his pursuits which made it kind of tiring to read vs inspirational. The first half story of growth was more interesting.
