i wanted to get a sense of youring out working at a supermarket and at some point having the notion that you could actually own that >> i as a package clerk had to tell myself something. i used to say i was the best package clerk that ever was going to be in the supermarket. that's the way i came to work. then when i got stock clerk i was the best stock clerk in the world. when i became a cashier i was the best cashier. and into produce and into i became the first black owner of supermarket in 1984 in the whole entire south. so from that, i've started and i created calhoun enterprise. and calhoun enterprise not just owns supermarket we have aany. we represent kraft foods, frito throughout the world representing major companies. that's how i met mr. harvey. >> you founded an >> yes.

products. i can take a lemon make lemonade. he cass move people like nobody else in the world. we're going to test in georgia, we can't keep it on the shelf. it's flying off the shelf. what are your projectedr 2016? >> we look at doing 20 million in the easy bacon business. that's pretty big in the bacon >> you're also launching the only latex plant in the u.s. called ameritech, correct? >> that's correct. in alabama 400 people got laid. we had a plant there. and it was sad that we was buying latex glod abroad, malaysia, nothing against those countries but we need to put our people back to work in the u.s. so i went to see the governor of the state of alabama and asked him whatr developing a business presence especially minority business presence.

he said they was more into so i went out and found a manufacturing business and brought it back to him and said, i like this business. i think we can get behind it, steve and i, and launch the only in the united states. so we went to walmart and talked to the chairman of walmart, doug mcmillan. he bought into it. he saw the put people back to work. >> what do you anticipate for 2016 revenue with ameritech? >> first year if we can get 50e'll be very satisfied with it. >> so steve is really big on having his family involved in the business. and i know that you share similar values. tell me more about that. >> my three kids work with business ever since they came out of florida a & m college they came right back into the business. my daughter got a master's in my son got a mar teres in marketing. my youngest son has a degree of accounting. my wife of 45 years is working

so i'm very family orienteith other 4 or 500 other employees we have. so having family to me means everything. >> in addition to running these amazing companies you also sit on a number of ose is there in part because that's where the decision power was made. kind of run the operation of the companies having the righteople can mean the success or failure of both. so when you just look one way you're just like a one-eyed quarterback. but if you look bothhole field your potential success is going to be much better. >> one of the boards that you actually sit on is a bank that you had a previous dynwhere you had initially where you were launching your first supermarket you needed the capital to be able to actually launch it effectively. and you were >> now that you sit on that particular board of that particular bank, what does that feel like?

that some people think your abilities don't exceed what they think qualify for banking. but that's just sometimes wrong it's the inner feeling of a person that really makes you susceptible. i didn't accuse them or being racial or nothing like that. i just thought that theyght that because the store was not prosperous they didn't want to take the risk with me. let's i took the same business plan to new york, chase morgan gave me $1 million. within six months we were prospering.ear $40,000 in profit in a business they had lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in. i took that same store and went 15 other supermarkets from that particular supermarket. >> thank you so much for your time, mr. calhoun. it was a true pleasure to speak to you. >> thank you. >> thanks, trish. up next, our push to get our nation's top corporations.

cvs, northrup grumman and adt. of the black enterprise corporate directors he's also a small group of people directly impacting corporations that affect . >> the average person in my opinion doesn't even recognize that corporate boards exist. or if they've heard about boards, they don't fully what boards do. boards set policy for corporations. so if you believe that corporate america is one of the majorer and influence in this country, i believe that, the average person may not know what happens inside the. what they simply need to recognize is that when we, people of color, have a seat at that table, it provides us to influence policy, to effect issues around hiring,

it puts us at the table where we can decide who gets to be the next chief executive officer. it is a powerful corporate board. and if properly managed -- and pardon use of the word it puts people of color in a position to open doors that have been closed forke folks. >> gordon has seen an increase in the number of black directors but admits more needs to be done. after all, minority directors often ensure that funds go to areas where it's hen you get into having conversations about budget, you get into having conversations about spending. when you talk about alk about with whom are you spending. it provides me, as a black director, the opportunity to n for the -- of the billions of dollars that said institution, said

in a planned year, how much of is going to be with minority-owned companies? >> gordon is a powerful addition to any board, having served as a top executive at ceo of the naacp. to this former b.e. executive of the year, the key to attaining a seat on the board of a major corporation is a matterrformance. >> it's hard work. and hard work. and hard work. i've always believed -- and i'm confident that this is the case -- that you have to everybody who's around you. you have to pursue excellence. it's not a matter of being as good as your peers. it's being better than your peers.he best person in the organization at the job that you do. >> coming up, classes that help
