How do we unleash the entrepreneurial spirit of our young people?  First, we need them to understand that being an entrepreneur is not a job, it is an identity. That identity starts with education – through teaching students about the personal and business issues all entrepreneurs face. Our educational workshops bring real-life experiences to the classroom and expose students to insights that they can use to be more entrepreneurial not only in business but in life.  Our program seeks to arm students with the perspectives that empower future leaders to use their school experience as a foundation to bring out the entrepreneur in each of them.  Watch Michael Dermer share some insights on MSNBC.
