Entrepreneur Heroes Trading Cards - Support Kiva entrepreneurs in Africa!

EvanCarmichael.com has partnered with bloggers Seth Godin, Guy Kawasaki, Darren Rowse, Tim Ferriss, Chris Brogan, Tom Peters, and others to create a line of famous entrepreneur trading cards called “Entrepreneur Heroes” – the profits from the sale of the cards go to support Kiva entrepreneurs in Africa. To purchase your set of cards, please click here.

For this project, 33 business bloggers were asked to pick whom their favorite famous entrepreneurs were and gave reasons why. A trading card was then created for each entrepreneur chosen and includes an artistic picture on the front, an inspirational quote on the back, a true story/fun fact about the entrepreneur and other personal information.
