About the Author
Joe Felice knows a thing or two about resistance to change, yet he still volunteered to apply his extensive solution architecture and program design experience to champion the creation of the Entrepreneurial Spirit Program concept.
His decision to be more active in his advocacy for entrepreneurial youth relates directly to his decision to retire from a long career of leading change initiatives.
As much as it’s true that Joe embarked on this journey for the benefit of his own soul, that higher purpose joins forces with sponsors and providers of youth entrepreneurship programs and builds full-life partnerships between enterprising youth and their communities.
Joe Felice is a teacher, and one who cares about young people. His story style engages the influential and like-minded reader while he explicates how support for youth must follow development. For me, the appendices are a key treasure of the book. They provide checklists every institution can use to incite social and economic health and the well-being of enterprising youth, and the community.
