Are you a parent or teacher looking for a virtual program for students to complete at home, an individual hungry for personal development, or an aspiring entrepreneur?

Inspired by the life-story of Pulitzer nominee Clifton Taulbert and the life-changing influence of an “unlikely” entrepreneur, the Ice House Entrepreneurship Program exposes the underlying logic, the methods, and processes that enable everyday entrepreneurs - those who may not have big ideas, access to wealthy investors, or advanced degrees - to succeed.

This FREE online, self-paced course will help you recognize opportunities that others overlook and determine whether starting a business is right for you.

The course guides learners through creating highly resilient, resourceful, and solution-oriented individuals that can withstand highly uncertain resource-constrained environments.

Ice House draws upon eight fundamental concepts of entrepreneurial thought and process drawn from the companion text, Who Owns the Ice House? Eight Life Lessons from an Unlikely Entrepreneur. Based on over a decade of research, each lesson contains video case studies featuring a variety of real-world, “unlikely” entrepreneurs who have embraced the core concepts of an entrepreneurial mindset.

It's designed to develop creativity, critical thinking, effective problem solving, teamwork, and other entrepreneurial skills. The goal is not necessarily to start a new business, but to inspire the power of entrepreneurial thinking in everyone.
