Cody grew up
in modest circumstances. Her parents
divorced when she was four years old.
She and her mother and two younger sisters lived with her
grandparents. For several years, they
received welfare and food stamps to make ends meet.
At only fourteen
years of age Cody got her first job and by sixteen she was working for the
company where she would remain, climbing the ranks and building a stellar
career! Today she’s Vice President &
General Manager of the Rocky Mountain Region at McDonalds, USA responsible for
nearly 800 restaurants!
I was
introduced to Cody by her book ‘Golden Opportunity’. Cody wrote the book to dispel the myth that
“flipping burgers” is a dead end job. In
the book she interviews over 40 successful people including Jay Leno, Jeff
Bezos (founder of Amazon.com), Andie MacDowell (actress), and Andrew H. Card
(former White House chief of staff). What
do they have in common with 20 million Americans… they all started their
careers at a McDonald’s restaurant!
‘Golden
Opportunity’ is an encouraging and inspiring book. In it each person interviewed, including Cody
herself, recall what they learned at McDonald’s and how those lessons helped
them build their remarkable careers. Check out our interview - you’ll never think
of McDonald’s as the land of the McJob again!
