Karl Eller is an incredible business individual, who has been inducted in the Advertising Hall of Fame by the American Advertising Federation in March of 2004.
Last Friday (April 20th, 2007) I have a very unique and amazing opportunity to have breakfast with Karl Eller (a world-renowned CEO and entrepreneur) along with 10 other individuals at the University of Arizona.
Over breakfast, Mr. Eller shared some of his childhood stories that prepared and set him on the right path to become a successful entrepreneur. He talked about work ethic, discipline, and integrity. He could not emphasize more the importance of integrity, as it has helped him recover from a crisis that followed his CEO-ship of Circle K. It was a very inspiring story! His year-old book Integrity Is All You Got captures his strong belief of the significance of integrity to the success of any entrepreneur, or any individual, for that matter.
I kindly asked him to autograph my copy of his book, and he gladly accepted. It was a pleasure and inspiration to meet him.
Thanks Alaina for arranging the opportunity to have breakfast with Karl Eller.
