#231 William Rosenberg (Founder of Dunkin Donuts)

Back in the late nineteen sixties, Mario Puzo, the author of The Godfather, said to me Bill. I wanna write your life story. You've got a hell of a story to tell. I said thanks, Mario.

But I'm too busy right now. I was growing Dunkin Donuts, which I had founded in nineteen fifty. And the business was expanding so fast I didn't have time to stop and reflect about my life. I had too much going on. At the heart of things.

I'm a man of action. I like results. But Mario's offer tempted me. Because I had read some of his earlier books and thought he was a fantastic writer. But there's a right time for everything.
