In this episode of the Purpose Chasers Podcast, I sit down once again with Dr. Carolyn Colleen: TEDx speaker, former UN delegate, and founder of Acton Academy Midwest. Dr. Carolyn’s story is one of resilience and fierce leadership, and today we dive deep into the work she’s doing to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs.

We talk about the Acton Children’s Business Fair, where kids ages 6–14 step into their own version of Shark Tank to create, pitch, and sell their ideas. Dr. Carolyn shares how this movement has grown to serve over 150 young entrepreneurs and why building confidence, financial literacy, and resilience in children is essential for breaking generational cycles of poverty.

We also touch on her nonprofit work with the Fierce Foundation, her passion for creating generational self-sufficiency, and how music, creativity, and community play a central role in the way her students learn and grow.
