When a College Radical Discovered the Power of Better
Picture a 21-year-old political activist, fresh off organizing campus protests, standing outside a convenience store fuming with righteous indignation. He'd just been wrongfully ejected, and instead of filing a complaint, he made a declaration that would change his life: "We could run a better store than these folks!" That moment of outrage became the spark for a $7.5 billion empire-not because of business acumen or inherited wealth, but because of a simple insight that most people miss. Success doesn't require appealing to everyone. You just need to become the singularly best choice for someone specific. That undergraduate store generated $60,000 in profit its first year, proving a fundamental truth: competitive advantage is everything. But here's the twist-being a better alternative isn't conceptually complicated. It's just extraordinarily difficult to execute. This distinction would guide every subsequent decision, from transforming French bakeries into lunch destinations to reimagining casual dining entirely.
