Finding True North
The Legacy
True North isn’t just a framework—it’s a philosophy forged from a legacy of resilience, determination, and purpose. Dr. Andy Garrett’s grandfather, Carl Karcher, built Carl’s Jr. from a single hot dog cart into one of the most recognizable fast-food chains in America. But his journey was far from easy.
Facing obstacles, setbacks, and moments of deep uncertainty, Carl didn’t just push forward—he found his True North. His unwavering commitment to his values and vision became the spark that would later inspire Dr. Andy Garrett to create a system that helps leaders and organizations do the same.
