00:11fast food industry through Burger King.
00:13Their inspirational story began from ground zero, where they both had a big dream to create
00:18something more than just an ordinary burger restaurant.
00:21James and David were not born with a silver spoon in their mouths.
00:26They grew up in humble families, where values of hard work and courage were taught from
00:31a young age.
00:32When James and David were still teenagers, they showed their talent in the business world.
00:38They ran several small businesses, from selling magazines to ice cream in the summer.
00:43Although their ventures were not always successful, they continued to learn and build a foundation
00:47for their future business careers.
00:50One day, while on a business trip, James McClamor heard about a small restaurant in California.
00:56that sold burgers in a unique and efficient way.
00:59The restaurant was managed by two brothers, Dick and Mac McDonald, who had developed a
01:04revolutionary production system for fast food.

01:13and cleanliness.

01:34nationally.
01:35However, the meeting didn't go as smoothly as expected.

01:44James McClamor.
01:45But James didn't give up easily, he spent months convincing them of the superiority
01:50of his business idea and his ability to turn McDonald's into a successful franchise.
01:57After many negotiations and lengthy discussions, Dick and Mac McDonald finally agreed to grant
02:01a license to James McClamor to use the McDonald's brand and their business model to expand McDonald's
02:06outside of California.
