Lettering by Loz Ives

You have a start-up idea, but…
Where do you go from there?

Two teen entrepreneurs bring together 51 influential business leaders for Q&As about starting a business, finding success, and, yes, making money.

Sixteen-year-olds Fenley Scurlock and Jason Liaw had started businesses by the time they’d reached middle school.

In this groundbreaking book, these young entrepreneurs interview leaders involved with brand-name businesses like MasterClass, Hallmark, IKEA, Parachute, and more. They ask questions every burgeoning exec wants to know…

How can I get started?
Is college worth it?
What skills do I need?
How did YOU make it big?

In a book that’s unlike any book out there–for kid or adult entrepreneurs–Fenley and Jason give readers access to leading innovators, inventors, and executives as they tell their stories and provide tips to a new generation of bosses.
