About Entrepreneurs: Startup Stories, Paul Newman
 | from Scott Allen
In this attention-starved day and age, the fine art of storytelling is drowning in a tidal wave of bullet lists, opinion pieces, how-tos and links to more of the same. This week, I've taken a step to try to remedy that with the launch of a new blog feature called "Startup Stories". Also, this week marked the passing of Paul Newman, one of the great actors of all time, but also a pioneer of "social entrepreneurship".

Paul Newman: Actor, Activist, Entrepreneur
While many of us may best remember Paul Newman for his classic movie roles as Butch Cassidy, Fast Eddie Felson or Cool Hand Luke, Newman also left a legacy of entrepreneurship and philanthropy that serves as a role model for the growing number of social entrepreneurs who want to change the world through their business.

In an effort to promote more storytelling by small business bloggers, I'm starting a new blog carnival, Startup Stories. In case you're not familiar with blog carnivals, it's a periodic collection of links to blog posts by various authors on a common theme. In this case, the theme is personal stories about entrepreneurship, preferably told by the entrepreneurs. No lists, no opinion pieces, no re-posts -- just original stories from people who are living out their entrepreneurial dream. Learn more about the carnival and how to share your own story.
| Startup Stories #1
The first edition features stories from Seth Godin, Jason Calacanis, John Jantsch and more.
