Junior Bridgeman is one of the most successful former athletes of all time. After retiring from the Milwaukee Bucks in 1987, he started a career that took him from owning and running a few Wendy's in Milwaukee to being one of the largest franchisees in America. His next act? Coca Cola bottler.
The inspiring — and rarely heard — speaker talked to Evan and guest co-host Dan about his career and life lessons in front of a live audience in Louisville, Ky. Regular listeners might know Louisville as the city where Evan and Dan honed their non-cancelled-stamps-recycling skills. Others will recognize it as the town where Bridgeman was a college basketball star and now lives.
