to learn over the course of interviewing hundreds and hundreds of entrepreneurs whether it's richard branson or the founders of ben & jerry's, or ron shake the founder of pinero's which is a local or john cook of boston company. they all learned how to be entrepreneurs. every few of the people who i have featured on my show or in the book were born that way. there are some for sure who just have this natural charisma. but by and large most of the entrepreneurs who i featured, most of them, really the successful entrepreneurs in the world learned the skills and the attributes needed to succeed. : >> that was within reach and my hope is that my show, and other programs and looks like it, it will encourage more people to put their ideas out into the world and pursue them. linda: used the phrase rejection which i just love it there if you are immune to rejection. that you're okay with it going. one of the thank you point out that a lot of people don't have that you have an advantage with. you have some of them with their mission. guy: we had a lot of mormon entrepreneurs on the show. the founder

we've seen organizations like just capital, like inclusive capitalism like richard branson said group whose group i always may forget. like the gri and impact investing and conscious capitalism and socially responsible investing and stakeholder capitalism. all of these movements, and they are all founded on real companies out doing business in a different way. i was adding beating at the white house in the waning days of the obama administration, and the point of the meeting was to try to figure out what's the right brand and a look at government, in particular the department of labor with tom perez. what did they do to encourage this movement? what's the right brand? how does this get branded? wouldn't it be better if we all sort of pulled together under one brand? sitting there for a while, i began to think that maybe it's the wrong question or a different question. maybe a better question is to think about what our the four owe five absolutely necessary things -- four or five -- whatever the brand turns out to be, this new story of business,, this new story of capitalism has to dea

if it wasn't for "shark tank," ring would have never had the exposure that brought people like richard bransonn to invest and build it into what it is today. as a kid, i spent a lot of time in the basement just building things. i built a humane mousetrap, a blanket to make myself colder 'cause we didn't have air-conditioning. most of them were failures. it's a video doorbell built for your smartphone. i started doorbot because i was working in my garage, and i couldn't hear the doorbell, and i thought, "why wouldn't the doorbell go to my phone?" at doorbot and ring, we failed many times. what kept me going was our mission to reduce crime in neighborhoods. we knew we were doing something better for the world, and we wanted to continue it. if we want to achieve that mission, it all starts here. it has been a really big year for ring. now amazon is buying the company for $1 billion. siminoff: what's great about amazon is they're gonna let ring still run as an independent company that lets me focus on what i love -- building product and making neighborhoods safer.
