T.K. Coleman is an entrepreneur who seems to embody a Renaissance ethos of action, discovery, and creativity. He takes as his personal mission to “convince as many people as he can that they have the power and permission to be the predominant creative force in their lives,” and currently this means serving as director of education at two organizations, the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE), and the college alternative program Praxis, which he co-founded.

“I think the work that I’m doing is more necessary than ever, because the world is changing so rapidly that the future is not going to belong to the people who know the right things, but to people who know how to approach everything they do as if it’s a work of art,” Coleman said. “That is the essence of entrepreneurial thinking.”
