It's Fall, y’all. That means college sports are in full swing and students across the country are celebrating Homecoming with their friends and families. Here at Artifcts that means class rings and letter jackets and sweaters along with other school spirit gems. What better way to showcase your school pride and preserve and share memories from ‘back in the day’? (Or maybe it wasn’t that long ago!) 

The Artifcts we are featuring today all have fascinating stories. Each represents a ‘piece of me’ for their respective owners and recalls fond memories of school pride and identity. All also offer a history lesson of sorts, although that was not intentional. The beauty of Artifcts is that you never know what you’ll discover! 

Want to show your school pride? Artifct your class ring, letter jacket, school sweater, or any other school swag and tag it #SchoolSpirit. Artifcts will donate $250 to the top Artifct'ed school as part of the Artifcts Homecoming Challenge! Check out the ones that @Wendy and @Matt have already Artifcted.

Yesterday was launch day. Today we turn to inspiring entrepreneurs. We’re sharing with you four Artifcts from four entrepreneurs. Meg Willis, Skip Mills, Teresa Smetzer, and Matt Ramsey live colorful lives filled in part by their entrepreneurial endeavors. Each has offered an object, an Artifct, that helps us learn more about their lives as entrepreneurs. 

• Meet Meg whose time on her bike allowed her mind to relax and her to create Good + Simple Wellness. View Artifct.
• Skip's Sky Pilot logo came from his passion for flying and now adorns his custom woodwork. The logo is also representative of many of his life and career choices, from mechanical engineering, piloting aircraft and commanding troops in the Air Force, to managing an applied university research lab. View Artifct.
• Teresa has spent a career addressing national security missions in one way or another from her positions as a civil servent and corporate executive. View Artifct.
• Meet Matt, whose father’s mortality crystalized for him the perils of waiting and the need to act now to change how he could give back to the world and simply be a cool dad. View Artifct.

Entrepreneurs as a group take risks, but to do so they themselves must first be inspired to set off into that world. Sometimes it is the people in their lives and other times events outside of them that provide that spark, but no matter the inspiration, we find there is also some physical representation of that choice – an Artifct. 

So, today, we celebrate all of you entrepreneurs! What objects in your lives speak to your entrepreneurial experiences and dreams? Start free or sign in to create your own Artifct and tag it #entrepreneursunite.
