When Brian Scudamore was 4, he drew a picture of a himself hauling away junk - “I guess I saw myself as a junk man”.
In 1989, Brian was waiting in line at a McDonald's drive-thru when he noticed a gritty pickup truck advertising a junk removal service.
He thought he could haul junk to pay for college, invested $700 from savings to purchase a truck and started his own business.
He went door-to-door and patrol alleyways for junk that the city wouldn't take. The business took off faster than he expected.
Brian felt he was learning more about business through experience instead of school, he dropped out to focus on the company.
