I set out to interview a variety of entrepreneurs to learn their thoughts and perspectives on entrepreneurship. Here are introductions, highlights, and links to full interviews from seven entrepreneurs:
Steve Smith, Founder/President of New Beginnings of Lake County
Jim Thayer is a successful entrepreneur and former President of Triple T Footwear. Jim started out at JCPenny as a Personnel Manager managing over 600 people before becoming a store Operations Manager for over 16 years. Jim then decided to go out on his own and got into children’s retail which turned into Triple T; a wholesale shoe supplier generating millions of dollars in revenue. A few years ago he hung up the shoes for retirement, but has recently started getting into real estate development. Jim’s Interview
What began as quick fix when Nancy Tedeschi’s mother broke her glasses and used an earring to put them back together fueled Nancy’s entrepreneurial mind to develop the SnapIt Screw. Nancy is the founder and owner of Eyeego, LLC and inventor of the SnapIt Screw, which is a patent pending product for eyeglass repair. The product allows users to fix their eyeglasses in a matter of seconds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAX0TqPdjv0&feature=player_embedded#! Nancy Tedeschi Interview
