Location: Marillac 434
This event was rescheduled for next week.
We will have a screening of the movie - The Call of the Entrepreneur presented by Acton media. We will hear the stories of 3 entrepreneurs, and how the creative genius shapes the world in which we live in. Join us as we continue our exploration of the entrepreneurial spirit. Watch the trailer for the movie by following the Read more link.
A merchant banker. A failing dairy farmer. A refugee from Communist China. One risked his savings. One risked his farm. One risked his life.
Why do their stories matter? Because how we view entrepreneurs—as greedy or altruistic, as virtuous or vicious—shapes the destinies of individuals and nations.

I’m really excited about viewing this movie. From what I’ve read so far, it builds a curiosity in me to really get a glimpse of what people are willing to risk in pursuit of their dreams, and what makes them so willing to take that risk. Many people have grand ideas about going into business, being their own boss. I am one of those people. I’m sure there are many others like me, who sometimes look around, trying to anticipate what the “next big thing” will be, and hoping to beat everyone else to it. Maybe it already came to one of us , and we brushed it off as nonsense, thinking, “oh this is too simple” or “this can’t be such a good idea, surely someone else would have thought of it before.”
The movie is entitled, CALL of the Entrepreneur. I hope when I get the call, I’m able to answer, or “they” leave a message.
