Spencer interviews Shelby Scarbrough to talk about how she started working as an all-around skilled worker for their family-owned Burger King franchise to own several stores. She talks about hiring people, not just to fill the job, but to train them as they work their way up as a manager. Shelby also reiterated the importance of looking at the good things and the positive pieces, rather than the negative ones, when approaching businesses and handling people.
