WATCH: Cal Turner Jr. on FOX News discusses his new book

Cal Turner Jr. was a guest on Fox & Friends to discuss his new book My Father's Business: The Small-Town Values That Built Dollar General into a Billion-Dollar Company. Watch here. Cal has also penned a new piece for Quartz based on his new book:

❝ I learned that there’s something wrong with feeling like the smartest person in the room from a man with a third-grade education—from my grandfather Luther, who along with my father founded the Dollar General Corporation, which I headed for 37-1/2 years.

It’s with more than a touch of shame that I admit I was embarrassed by Luther’s lack of education when I was a boy. He had dropped out of school after his father died, when he was 11, in order to work on the family farm, and eventually saved enough money to open his own shop. I loved and admired him, but the way he butchered language sometimes made me wince.

Gradually, my childhood sensitivity to that minor flaw was greatly outweighed by my respect for his business acumen and his keen insight into people. [QZ.com]
