Reimagining the World EverydayEntrepreneurs are the powerful icons of business we all know and love that make our own aspirations soar and the world spin with innovation. Yes, they are the celebrity-status visionaries á la Richard Branson and Tony Hsieh, but they are also the brilliant minds that fly beneath the mainstream-media radar. Entrepreneurs encompass legions of home-grown business owners with a distinctive spirit and approach to life that only one media brand caters to: Entrepreneur.
