He worked for JCPenney, which was a huge supplier at the time, became a regional manager and was doing very well. He comes up with this idea that we want to create these stores in rural areas. He's like, let's do one for the country folk. There's people in all these country towns. They want cheap, reliable goods. Let's do this. And he pitches it to JCPenney. They say, no, this is crazy. We don't want you. Leads to another company, same kind of product. They said no. And this moment, Sam— Sam Pennington. name, had to decide. Do I want to just follow the experts, follow what everyone's telling me, or do I want to go out and do this? Because there's about half the country doesn't have access to cheap, reliable goods. 1962, Sam Walden launched Walmart. By 1970, they had over 800 stores. 1990s, they were the largest company in America. What an incredible entrepreneur that said, screw it, I'm gonna take this personal. When he died in 1992, his wife and 4 kids became the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th wealthiest people in America. Talk about creating a lot of value and getting paid for it.
