David B. Hampson Wins 2025 American Writing Award for Entrepreneurship & Small Business
We are proud to announce that David B. Hampson has been named the 2025 American Writing Award Winner for Entrepreneurship and Small Business for his acclaimed book,
Rainbow Gold: Building a Business That’s Both the Journey and the Destination.
The American Writing Awards recognize outstanding authors whose work demonstrates excellence, originality, and meaningful impact. Rainbow Gold was selected for its powerful storytelling, real-world business insight, and its bold rejection of today’s fast-exit startup culture in favor of purpose-driven, sustainable entrepreneurship.
In Rainbow Gold, Hampson shares his deeply personal journey—from early entrepreneurial challenges in South Africa to building a highly successful aviation insurance firm—while offering timeless lessons on leadership, resilience, decision-making, and the butterfly effect of small, intentional actions. The book champions a vision of business where people, integrity, and long-term impact matter as much as profit.
“This award is especially meaningful because Rainbow Gold was written for entrepreneurs who want more than just financial success,” said Hampson. “It’s about building something you believe in, something that lasts, and something that becomes part of who you are.”
The 2025 American Writing Award further solidifies Rainbow Gold as a must-read for entrepreneurs, small business owners, family-owned companies, and leaders seeking to build businesses with both purpose and staying power.
🌈 The real reward isn’t the exit — it’s the impact.
