Michael J. Coles is an entrepreneur, world record-holder, and sought-after public speaker. He co-founded Great American Cookies, led Caribou Coffee, and ran for Congress twice. Coles’s story of personal perseverance is as impressive as his business acumen. After a nearly fatal motorcycle accident, he went on to set world records in three coast-to-coast bicycle races.
