The beginning part of the Founder (i.e. the story about how Ray Kroc turned McDonalds into a huge empire) is sort of inspirational in that the man has gumption and he recognizes the potential for Micky D's to become huge even though the original McDonald brothers never wanted to take it as big.

In fact, there's a portion of the movie where's psyching himself up to go and hustle by listening to a recording of Calvin Coolidge's speech on Persistence.

Like all that was really cool. My fave moment, though was when the McDonald brothers describe how they optimized the layout of their McDonald's location in San Bernardino.

In the last 3rd of the movie you see the bad part of Ray Kroc and how he ripped off the brothers but aside from that the first half is pretty inspirational to me.

Overall, a great movie.
