Some of America’s most consequential entrepreneurs aren’t building the next unicorn or ringing the opening bell on Wall Street. Across industries like construction, distribution, health care, and professional services, privately held businesses are creating wealth, generating jobs, strengthening local economies, and shaping the broader business landscape. Drawing on a decade of research behind his book The Everywhere Millionaire, economist and co-author Eric Zwick examines the often-overlooked entrepreneurs behind America’s private business economy and what their success reveals about where economic influence resides, how prosperity is built, and why founder-led companies will play an increasingly important role in defining the future of American enterprise.
