Don Fertman
In 1983, after a difficult transition from rock life to office life, Don Fertman got sober. Given a second chance by the founder of the small fast-food company where he worked, called Subway, Don rose through the ranks to become its global chief development officer. He's sharing excerpts from his forthcoming memoir, "Subs & Drugs & Rock & Roll: A Boomer's Long and Winding Road From The Beatles to Subway Boss, Descent Into Addiction and Road to Recovery," with All Sober.
