Colonel Sanders

Colonel Sanders is a true example of perseverance and that it's never too late to succeed. After trying and failing at multiple careers, including the military, his marriage fell apart, and he lost contact with his children.

Unable to afford his own home, Sanders moved back in with his mother. It wasn't until age 65 that he launched K.F.C. using his social security check, finally finding the success he had long pursued. His story is a testament to never giving up.
