Carl Schramm, "The Evangelist of Entrepreneurship," on the Proven Formula for Success

The Economist magazine once described Carl J. Schramm as "The Evangelist of Entrepreneurship." Professor Schramm earned the moniker during the decade he was the president of the $2 billion Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, which is among the largest private foundations in America, working to help entrepreneurs succeed. These days Professor Schramm writes about entrepreneurship and teaches at Syracuse University, one of only 16 members of the faculty since 1870 to be given the prestigious, at-large title of University Professor. This week Professor Schramm conducts a Master's Class in entrepreneurship exclusively for host and reputation coach Dean Rotbart, using the professor's new book – Burn the Business Plan: What Great Entrepreneurs Really Do – as assigned reading. Think you need an MBA to be a business success? Think again. Professor Schramm says that the proven path to business success is one of passion, determination, and a willingness to experiment and innovate. Class is starting right now. Photo: Carl J.
