Why I created The Entrepreneur Family Series

Children growing up around entrepreneurs often see unusual hours, many roles, worry, excitement, and invisible work before they have words for it. The series gives families a clear way to talk about that work—and entrepreneurship as curiosity, empathy, creativity, responsibility, persistence, testing, and learning.
