- Fred, a Yale student, wanted to impress his economics professor with his thesis for a super efficient, privately managed postal service. His hypothetical company would purchase a fleet of jets which would only fly in the middle of the night… Find out more about this hypothetical company in this episode of Paul Harvey’s “The Rest of the Story.”

I once worked with a gentleman who told us to never take stock advice from him. He was in sales and while visiting a client, the client asked him to invest just $1,000 in their company as they were preparing to go national. He walked over to the window and looked onto the vacant grassland of Bentonville AR, and laughingly replied, "Yeah, you're going national!" A few years later, this same person was asked to join a startup soon moving to Memphis TN. They admitted they couldn't pay him much upfront, but they would give him stock in the company to make up the difference. He replied that that he couldn't feed his family on stock. He had the opportunity to be an early investor in both Walmart and FedEx and missed out on both. I'm uncertain what the FedEx offer would equate to today, but the suggested $1,000 in Walmart stock would supposedly be worth a little more than $20 million today.
Oh my gosh. That one hurts me. hahaha. Thanks for sharing that. :)
Cool video. Achieving the American Dream from two totally different perspectives. Sticking to your belief may not guarantee success, but it surely increases the odds.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. There is no guarantee success, as you said, but with hard work... :)
That is awsome! Love that story
I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
Really enjoy your Rest of the rest of the story sir. The only other comment I have at the moment is"GO DAWGS!"
I'm glad you enjoyed it. "GO DAWGS!!!!" :)
Great story. There are them that teach and them that do.
You're exactly right. :)
I've never heard of Raising Cane's Chicken, but I'd sure give it a try! Maybe I'm from the wrong part of the country?
That's unfortunate. It's very good. :)
You're not biased at all.....I lived in Lake Charles for 20yrs before moving back to Oklahoma after Rita hit.....I miss that Cajun food, but a few companies know my address.....Community & Kary's are my favorite. We do have Popeyes & Rasin' Cane......but they don't taste anything like what I got in LC. I have lots of good memories or those days.
Lake Charles is a fine city. Hurricane Rita was rough. I hope you have a wonderful day. :)
Thanks, Brad. I'm wondering the same thing. Those teachers should have called and apologized! ❤😂
You're right. They should have. hahaha. :)
good show, from an old boilermaker
I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
Thanks for the great story, Brad! I'll agree that y'all have the best food there is! Go Dawgs and God bless!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I love our food. :)
Thanks for the Lagnaippe on Raising Canes. Great job as always!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I love Raising Canes. :)
I once overheard a former delivery driver for one of those two companies recounting a story about a time when she was trying to deliver a package on a certain street, but couldn't because the lady driver of one of the competitor's vehicles was parked in the street and struggling with a large parcel. Since neither could get underway on her own they both took the heavy box to the house it was addressed to, and when the intended recipient opened the door one of the ladies told him/her that they were from the FedUp company.
Hahahahahaha. That's a good one. :)
I just wanted to say thank you for The Rest of The Rest of The Story. You do an outstanding job. I’ve always loved listening to Paul Harvey and have even read some of his books. Thanks again
I'm very glad you enjoyed it. :)
keep up the good work
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Lots more coming up. :)
