About seven years ago back in the days before Youtube banned me I shot this video at Espresso’s Pizza in Fitchburg while I was there with Stacy McCain. Juan the manager was there withs his young sons who were taking orders over the phone.
Juan talked about the work ethic he hoped this would instill into his sons and I titled the video: ” A Future success story.”
Yesterday I went there to pick up a couple of slices and when I got there the teenage boy who gave me my order was all smiles. He introduced himself as one of the boys in the video. He has been working there steady for the last six years and was clearly an expert in the place. He talked about the difference growing up working there has been, what it had taught him about hard work and responsibility and how it has made a huge difference in his life.
Alas I didn’t have my camera on me and not owning a cell phone I can’t give you an updated interview but let me tell you this. This young fellow is on his way to success and the woman who marries that young man someday is not only going to be very lucky.
That is what the American dream is, that’s what an American success story looks like.
