It sounds liberating and exciting to own your own business, but it also feels risky — a drawback that’s been clearly exposed this past pandemic year. Our next Inspiring Conversations speaker knows all about the risk and reward of entrepreneurship. John Ebert ’82 left the comforts of a stable career with an established firm for the possibility of becoming a McDonald’s franchisee. He found success, but then COVID-19 bought the world to a standstill. Join us Tuesday to hear how Ebert’s leadership brought rise to more than 40 McDonald’s restaurants and kept more than 2,000 people employed during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Listen to the live discussion recorded on Tuesday, March 30, 2021, with Chris Stevens '74, Co-Founding Director of the Inspired Leadership Initiative, and special guest John Ebert '82.
