We take a deep dive into the remarkable life of Colonel Sanders, exploring how he transformed from a farmhand with humble beginnings to the face of one of the world’s most recognisable brands, Kentucky Fried Chicken. Together, we unpack his journey through challenges like dropping out of school, tackling gruelling jobs, and facing rejection a staggering 1009 times before his iconic chicken recipe was accepted. From dramatic shootouts to devastating fires, Sanders’ story is one of resilience, grit, and determination.

Join us as we uncover how he turned a series of setbacks into the foundation for a global franchise, reminding us all of the power of persistence.
