While many in the media are discussing entrepreneurship as an answer to the unemployment and economic problems of the day, Entrepreneur Journeys provides the solid role models and inspiration all aspiring entrepreneurs need.

“Enjoyed ENTREPRENEUR JOURNEYS and found it worthwhile. The stories are inspiring and could have a significant influence on a student of entrepreneurship or an aspiring entrepreneur. To paraphrase a trite phrase; "Yes, you can!" The stories are more than inspiration though. The insightful questions and the thoughtful answers give much guidance, and general wisdom. The book occupies a nearly empty niche between lightweight collections of anecdotes and ponderous but often irrelevant academic research. A great opportunity to come close to sitting with masters and learning directly.”
--Barrett Hazeltine, Professor of Engineering Emeritus, Brown University
