Learn from the biographies of extraordinary women and men

Teaching by example: this is the main aim behind our selected biographies of famous people.

Men and women who made a brand, a story, a company or accomplished great and extraordinary feats, weaving the web of their success stories.

Through the narration of extraordinary lives, we can learn how to deal with a particular phase in our life, how to manage our startup or simply get to know the story behind the great men and women of our times.

SInce the names behind the success of many big companies very often remain unknown, we are intent on finding them, adding their biographies to our selection, and sharing them with a wider audience.
