Can entrepreneurship save the world? I think it can.

Last week, a desperate rich guy made a public plea for help in saving his multi-million-dollar home. 

He was willing to pay any price.

It didn’t take long for the trolls to pile on, shaming him for his “privilege” and demanding to know why he thought he was entitled to saving his house when so many others were losing theirs. 

I think that’s such a weird take. But maybe that’s because I’ve always been an outside-the-box thinker. I imagine that most of us, if we had the means, would be willing to pay huge sums of money to save something that was important to us. 

The problem is that people are so used to depending on systems and services that have been in place forever that they are shocked (and angered) when someone tries to operate outside of those systems. 

Even when they can clearly see that the system that’s supposed to help them is failing.

In The Tuttle Twins and the Fate of the Future, we walk kids through a thought experiment where they envision a world where they’re not forced to depend on inefficient systems and services. Instead, they see what it could look like if they had the ability to opt into the services they value and opt out of the ones they don’t. 

They learn that competition in education, infrastructure, and even public safety creates better outcomes for everyone—a vision of true freedom!

And entrepreneurship is key to making that vision a reality.

Entrepreneurship isn’t just starting a business doing something you love—it’s about solving problems. It’s easing unease. 

Too often, I see businesses fail because they don’t understand this core principle. Small businesses often blame the community for not supporting them, when in reality, they weren’t offering something the community truly needed or wanted.

A thriving business isn’t built on passion alone—it’s built on providing value. But most people don’t understand that because most people don’t really know anything about entrepreneurship.

I happen to believe that entrepreneurs are going to save the world. 

They’ll solve problems we don’t even know exist yet. They’ll create solutions that transform lives, and they’ll do it because they’ve learned how to think critically, adapt, take risks, and listen to others—skills that aren’t taught in school.

That’s why I’m so excited to announce our new Entrepreneurship courses through the Tuttle Twins Academy. 

These courses are designed to give teens the tools they need to become the innovators and problem-solvers of tomorrow.

For example, in The Fundamentals of Business, teens learn how to navigate the challenges of starting and running a business—how to think creatively, adapt to change, and leverage their strengths. In How to Think Like an Entrepreneur, we explore the mindsets that turn ideas into action, like risk-taking, critical thinking, and networking.

How to Turn Your Hobby Into a Profitable Small Business helps teens evaluate whether their passions can translate into sustainable ventures, and Case Studies for Success allows kids to meet real entrepreneurs as they share their failures, triumphs, and all the lessons they learned along the way.

Our courses are engaging, values-driven, practical, and fun! But more importantly, they’re designed to inspire teens to think differently, challenge the status quo, and develop the confidence to pursue their dreams.

And because I believe in putting my money where my mouth is, the first lesson of each course is available for free!

We’ve already launched sixteen courses across topics like civics, finance, and critical thinking, and there’s lots more to come, so whether your teen wants to start a business, understand the principles of economics, or think more independently, Tuttle Twins Academy is the perfect resource to help them succeed.

We’re offering so much more than education. We’re making an investment in the future.

Watch a free lesson now.

Here’s to raising a generation of problem-solvers who will make the world a better place for us all!
