For Schnatter, becoming the natinal spokesman for his company was a huge challenge in the beginning, since he was terrified of public speaking (The No. 1 fear of most people, even more that death). He overcame his fear by working with a coach and forcing himself to talk to groups until he became in the 1990s an in-demand motivational speaker.  Today he's the face fo Papa John's in TV ads.

In June, the American Customer Satisfaction Index gave Papa john's the hightest rating among pizza chains for the 14th time in 16 years.  Shareholders have rewarded Papa john's by driving the stock up about 700% since 2009
