🚀 The Journey Has Begun! 🚀

Jackson CEO scholars officially kicked off their journey into creating their individual businesses by diving into the video series The Art and Science of Entrepreneurial Thinking with Doug Villhard—Professor of Practice in Entrepreneurship and Academic Director for Entrepreneurship at the Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis.

Doug’s story is nothing short of inspiring. From starting his career at Disney to becoming a serial entrepreneur—starting, selling, buying, advising, and investing in companies—he embodies what it truly means to think like an entrepreneur.

His mantra says it all:
👉 Learn. Earn. Return.

As our scholars begin identifying real problems and developing real solutions, we can’t wait to see the innovative ideas they’ll bring forward to help strengthen and uplift our communities. The future is being built right now! 💡💼
