even in europe, today entrepreneur and self-made man are disdained.n europe today, it is better to have inherited money than earned money. why, because earned money means you probably had to run over a bunch of guys to get it. inherited money is seen as innocent. so the idea of entrepreneurship of making your own life, this is the core of the american idea. it couldn't be more different from obama's idea. obama's idea is that entrepreneurship and trade and making your own life are in a sense a form of oppression. "2014" the core of it is the idea of theft. the basic idea is that wealth is not created by innovation, hard work, or trade. wealth is stolen, it is taken from someone else. barack ed in the foim obama talk about tax rates. why would you tax people at 100%? who would have an incentive to work? if you put in the idea of theft it makes sense. if you come to my house and steal all my furniture, what is the proper tax rate for you? 100%. it is not your furniture. so when you look upon wealth as pirated, as stolen goods, it seems appropriate for t

you'll find very few entrepreneurs who didn't go through some sort of budget crisis at some point this their company's life. and everyone deals with it differently. we recently spoke to one small business owner who in the face of dropping revenue considered shrinking his business, but instead, he decided to expand. >> it was a big risk, a big financial risk, but thank goodness it's paying off so far. we could have stayed in one location, but there was a limit to how much we could grow there. >> it was an expansion that was more than 80 years in the making. >> we had a great name, great reputation. >> even in a down economy, he says he and his sister decided to grow their company, best mattress, from one location to two. >> we're a small custom mattress factory. we manufacture and sell to the public our handcrafted mattresses. >> reporter: the mattress making company, which his father and grandmother started in west columbia, a south carolina, with a showroom and factory, had slowed because of trouble in the housing market. >> the mattress business much like the furniture business is ti

i am when you might call the serial entrepreneur. i get a vision about something that should be done, usually in an area where african-americans are economically under represented in the try my best to create a business solutions to help address these social and economic problems. example, a year ago we launch an online job and business side specifically designed to introduce minority individuals and minority businesses to large u.s. companies to encourage and play -- to encourage employment. in addition to increasing in value, investors and shareholders, these businesses have the goal to empower african-americans to create wealth for themselves and this nation. make no mistake, there are millions of african-american men and women who have the talent, the ingenuity, into the work ethic to fulfil these goals. i think you would also agree with me that the station has created the great society for individual economic opportunity that mankind has ever seen. despite the fact, there is the troubling question then have to be asked. dot is,

if you do, this is going to sound crazy like a trick, you are more likely to be an entrepreneur, more likely to choose risky career paths and successful at entrepreneur, better at sports, make more money on wall street, that kind of thing. >> should i go into business or not? >> that shows to me you would be tolerant of some risks and maybe you should not jump into it. >> there are some women who have longer ring fingers than -- . >> and absolutely. in the stud of -- study of italy, it predicted how big the company was and the growth rate. the question is why. the same thing lengthening fingers when we're two months into fetal gestation into our mother's womb. the same exposure to prenatal testosterone and estrogen changes how the limb brick -- limbec brain is organized. >> huh,. >> it's a marker for subtle brain differences seated with the joinedder and transscend gender. >> chapter 5, was eating that full of ice cream there. you got into the men and women thing. >> yeah. >> and a lot of people would think competitive woman, you know, she's too edgy or too rough, she's not nice and c

and, you know, a lot of entrepreneurs that we're looking for is the way to get leverage, a way to build an experience or build a product before we have 100,000 users using it. open data is the key way to do that. you can start out with this experience, very lively and robust with very few users. and then when the first users come in, there is actually something for them to do and see. and i think that you'll start to see as the data sets get more robust and a little bit better and hopefully as we get to improve them ourselves and put them back into the public domain, the innovation that comes off with them is just going to grow exponentially. >> this seems like a really important moment. the world of civic innovation until now has really been focused on sort of open public data and the private data world has been separate. the fact that the city realizes that it is private data that adds to that and provides so much more richness because it is information as motion loft tells us where people are dwelling in the city or in the park applications how people are using it. when you add all t
