Think Freely Media’s project American+Will is dedicated to telling the stories of entrepreneurs who overcame challenges to build a successful business. When COVID-19 hit, Think Freely Media quickly pivoted to creating photojournalism-style stories that highlight how entrepreneurs are adapting to meet the changing needs of their clients, communities, and respective industries.
- Walter Gugenberger developed a mobile app that will help keep food trucks afloat by allowing customers to order remotely. He was set to launch his app when COVID-19 hit, then adjusted his plans to allow food trucks to use it for free.
- Jill Dinsmore, president of a freight company, developed health and safety procedures to protect her team of truck drivers.
- A nonprofit in California is helping to keep foster kids safe, healthy, and entertained.
- A Chicago-area caterer quickly changed his business model to safely deliver essentials to his community.
