Spotlight on the Entrepreneur Lecture Series
Paul Orfalea
Founder and Chairperson Emeritus, Kinko's Inc.
Lessons from a hyperactive dyslexic who turned a bright idea into one of America's best companies. Paul Orfalea founded Kinko's in 1970, was "Chairperson for 30 years" and has "repurposed" himself since the year 2000. Orfalea really did achieve success his way. With humor, wisdom, and compassion, he shares his invaluable experiences and unorthodox business lessons with those who are just a little bit "different" and who wonder if there's a place for them in the world.
Museum visitors are reminded that food and drinks are not allowed in the Museum. Backpacks and other large items brought to the Museum will have to be stored; there is limited locker storage space available for these items.
