I can talk about how a shy country boy became an international marketing icon. During the Great Depression, my father and my uncle cofounded the Sheraton Hotel Chain. It was a time when people were discouraged and were running away from real estate. Father had a secret sauce, a timeless secret for creating success no matter how bad the economy. By the time of his death, he employed 20,000 people and owned 400 Sheraton Hotels. Your audience may enjoy some of his extraordinary techniques.
