Heroes have always been part of the culture, demonstrating superhuman strength and performing almost impossible feats. Native Las Vegan Tiger Todd loved the heroes of movies and television but also appreciated people who helped stranded motorists, lost pets, and the fragile, considering those who helped as heroes. In the 1990s, he saw a real need to create a movement to help more people be heroic. As a result, Hero School\u00ae was developed as a leading Transformational Education Model that combines entrepreneurial principles to engage, motivate and reeducate disengaged and disconnected youth and adults.<\/p>\n

While changing the trajectory of his own life and the lives of others, Todd created ways to rapidly and humanely extinguish the culture of homelessness. Intervention teams engage, ignite, and sustain struggling youth and adults as they rise out of homelessness and repeat history. Hero School delivers initiatives to enlighten, change mindsets and ignite lifelong learning. The values of intrapreneurship empower the youth and adults to become the next heroes for their families, companies, and communities.<\/p>\n

Hero School Strategic Interventions, Breakthrough Academies, and Character Change\u00ae Experiences have helped thousands of youth and adults overcome impossible odds to become learners, earners, contributors, and heroes for their families and communities. Hero School Community Initiatives combines experts and entrepreneurs with cutting-edge curricula, strategic resources, and dynamic experiences. Hero School is a learning engine as a school of psychology.<\/p>\n

Todd started as an entrepreneur, making the income to fund the next stage of his life. His father was also an entrepreneur, and circumstances propelled Todd to follow his father\u2019s lead. Todd was hit by a drunk driver at age four and spent two months in a body cast. His father would pick Todd up from school and take him to work. Todd would develop friendships with his father\u2019s customers. When he started to attend school, he wanted to learn from the teachers instead of playing with other children.<\/p>\n

Having sold the electronics company he founded in the early 1990s, Todd knew what he wanted to do with the next phase of his life. He wanted to bring heroism back as he saw it\u2014small acts such as helping someone change a flat tire.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am trying to inspire the community in Las Vegas,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

At the time, Todd had written a substantial check to an organization with a mission to help people experiencing homelessness. He went to Ethel Pearson Park, where the organization served people experiencing homelessness, and counted 1,854 people lined up to receive food donations, paid for by his philanthropy. While Todd understood people need to eat, he did not see how receiving food would help these people out of the cycle of homelessness.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\u201cI interviewed the line, and I kept hearing the same four reasons pop up as I interviewed everyone lined up to get food. I found four things about the way they thought and answered questions that would disqualify them from working in any business I owned, or certainly never own their own business,\u201d Todd explains.<\/p>\n

The four habits or mindsets include begging, blaming, horizontal learning, and talking back\/telling a story about why to remain homeless. The antidotes to each are Tiger Todd\u2019s Four Laws Of Entrepreneurship\u2122:<\/p>\n
