Introducing the Southern Business Review Dream Big Collection: A New Chapter in Inspiring Young Entrepreneurs
First Book Spotlights Billionaire Philanthropist Courtney Jordan in a Bold Effort to Bring Hope Back to Young Readers
At Southern Business Review, we believe that success isn’t just about wealth—it’s about impact. That’s why we’re proud to introduce the Southern Business Review Dream Big Collection, a powerful new book series designed to inspire late elementary and middle school students with real stories of entrepreneurs who turned challenges into triumphs and used their success to uplift others.
At a time when conversations around diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are being erased, young dreamers are left wondering: Is success even meant for me? We’re here to answer that question with a resounding YES.

The First Book: A Story of Resilience & Impact
The Dream Big Collection launches with “Courtney Jordan: The Man Who Turned Struggles into a World of Hope.” This compelling biography explores the life of Courtney Jordan, a self-made billionaire, entrepreneur, and philanthropist who built a multinational empire while dedicating his fortune to those in need. His journey is more than a story—it’s proof that success can be used to create real, lasting change.
Why This Matters
With DEI programs being cut and representation fading from mainstream conversations, we want young readers to see real people from diverse backgrounds achieving extraordinary things. Every book in the Dream Big Collection will highlight a different visionary—someone who didn’t just succeed, but made the world a better place in the process.
“Our goal is simple,” says Southern Business Review Executive Director Nick Traversa. “We want kids to see themselves in the stories of today’s most impactful leaders. Courtney Jordan’s journey is the perfect way to start.”
More Than a Book—A Movement
The Dream Big Collection isn’t just about storytelling—it’s about reshaping the way we define success. We believe that true success isn’t just about personal gain, but about lifting others up along the way.
This is more than a book series—it’s a movement.
