I believe entrepreneurship is a trait that everyone wants to have but few let that fire burn hot enough to change their lives.  Sometimes like in the case of John Puritz, something happens that causes us to change the direction of our lives in a split decision.  From high school music teacher to financially independent advisor in the money education business this is a story of entrepreneurship like few others!

Hear the great story about how these two friends became business partners and hashed out a plan to start their own coffee company. A company with fair trade to farmers, great coffee to customers and community to a midwest town. Coffee has become commercialized and locations are just a place people go to work on their computers, Smalltown is a little of that, but in my opinion so much more.  A place to experience community, meet new people, and enjoy this life with friends and family. 

A childhood split between two very different cultures, small town for school and urban living for the summer made this guy the most inclusive person I know. In a time where division is created by trying to force inclusion, this story shows how we find these things slowly. 

What would it be like if you dad was your Principal in school and mom was a teacher? Sports, Marines, F18 pilot, Wife and Kids, Private Jet pilot to a Billionaire and broker sales for jets. Amazing where a competitive nature can take someone in life!!
