Entrepreneurs of the Year: Overall Winners | 'Old Guys'

They don't take themselves seriously, with a disarming degree of self-deprecation. They emphasize conflict, particularly when it creates consensus. They drop motivational phrases like breadcrumbs for an eager workforce. (A big one: Have fun, make money, don't get in the way of anyone having fun or making money.)

They also aim to hire future CEOs, not people who want a career. Oh, and they wear shorts to work.

Most significantly they — Sarasota entrepreneurs Art Lambert and Ron Simkins — have built a singular success story in the graphics and digital printing industry. The company they co-founded in 1994, LexJet, has grown into S-One Holdings Corp. Sales at S-One, with five printing, imaging and design subsidiaries, increased nearly 90% in 2014, from $76.2 million in 2013 to $144.7 million. Sales are up more than 200% since 2010.
