In this episode of the Patrons of Change podcast we sat down with Dr. Jeffrey R. Cornwall who is the Jack C. Massey Chair in Entrepreneurship at Belmont University's Center for Entrepreneurship. One of the great ways to change the world is through business, and understanding the dynamics of how to start and run your own business can be overwhelming.Dr. Cornwall discusses what makes an entrepreneur, what it takes to be an entrepreneur, the current business climate and dispels some popular myths about entrepreneurship. We hope you enjoy listening to the conversation, and join in yourself by commenting on our blog, leaving a voicemail anytime by dialing (615) 212-2184, or emailing us at [email protected].If you’re a founder of a business anywhere in the Nashville area, remember to come out and join us at our next Entrepreneurial Meetup which will be on Tuesday, May the 13th, 7:00pm at the Sportsman's Lodge in Brentwood/Cool Springs. This is a place for entrepreneurs to informally discuss their business free of customers, investors, employees and spouses to help and encourage others to move forward in their businesses. Come on out and have a beer, it is always a good time. We look forward to seeing you there!SHOW LINKS: Dr. Cornwall's BlogSuccess rate mythDot com eraAverage startup capitalSocial EntrepreneurshipBongo Java & FidoNon-profit entities and 501(c)(3)Second Harvest Food BankSam Davidson of Cool People CarePura Vida CoffeeGeneration Y's callingGreen/Environmental MovementRecessionAMEX survey on small businessInflation of 1970's v. 2000'sGlobal economy
