112: Entrepreneur Takes on Business Schools with Audacity and Price

Clay Clark, founder of Thrive15.com and SBA Entrepreneur of the Year, is described by Yahoo as the "Jim Carey of Entrepreneurship." Through his tireless tenacity and honey badger work ethic, he has founded and co-founded a string of successful companies including DJ Connection and Elephant in the Room Men's Grooming Lounge. Recognizing that his failures and subsequent successes could benefit others who are poor “like I used to be,” he created Thrive15.com, an online business school experience he describes as “nine to ten times better than the average business school, but at 1% of the cost: $50 per month—with a 30-day free trial.”
