I am fortunate enough to spend at least a few days a week traveling around the country speaking to entrepreneurs and other business people at a wide variety of events. Since I live in Chicago (or at least my wife says that is where I hang my clothes when I am in town), my favorite places to visit entrepreneurs are the more rural parts of this country.  These business people are truly changing their communities and are the economic engines that make their cities go.

This summer, I am sponsoring an exciting project where 3 college students from the University of Arizona are traveling 12,000 miles around the country to interview individuals that have pursued their passion to be in an interesting career today.  These interviews will explore how they have pursued their passion, where they were in college, and what obstacles had to be overcome to achieve their goal. Check out the tour at www.pursuethepassion.com and sign up to be interviewed!
