it was hard to be an entrepreneur outside tech hubs like silicon valley. we struggled for a number of years, almost didn't make it but finally we got a breakthrough. >> host: tell me about the name. we think of it is aol but it is america online, what you have been doing all the years since then. >> guest: like many entrepreneurial journeys, at the time only 3% of people were online and those 3% were online an average -- a million dollars in venture capital, our only strategy was to partner with personal computer manufacturers. we partnered with a number of companies that were big players, commodore, radioshack, ibm and apple and launched a service called apple personal edition, licensed the apple brand name but then apple decided it didn't want to continue, they didn't like the idea our company was licensing their brand name. we had to negotiate it settlement on that and we couldn't call it applelink anymore. we had to call it something else. we had an internal contest. america online came out of that. we described what we were trying to do, try to get am

they're not in, say, silicon valley. now, they part of the reason to write the book is to inspire them to actually start those and do it wherever they are, because that's now more possible than it was even just ten years ago. so let's go back to this period, this 2000. i mean, the book really starts in 2014. so this period of 2003 to 2014 where you're coming to this idea, were you drawn to the idea of investing in cities around america for moral reasons, for economic reasons? did think there was higher potential return. you think it was going to be good to good for america? did you just want to go on an amazing bus tour with your wife around the whole country? tell me, what brought you to this idea? really, all the above. i did think it was a differentiated of most investors are investing in place like silicon valley investing in other places you find opportunities maybe other others would would miss. that was part of it. also, we did realize because of the data around job creation that most of the jobs in the country ar

they are not in silicon valley. part of the reasons to write the book is to do it wherever they are. >> let's go back to 2000. what really starts in 2014. were you coming to this idea. we've drawn standing investing around america? or what reasons for economic reasons? was her higher potential was it good for america? did you just want to go on an amazing busus tour with your wie from the whole country?? tell me what brought you to this idea. >> really all of thed above. as a differentiated strategy most investors are investing in one placell going to define opportunities maybe others would miss. that was part of it. also we didn't realize because of the job creation most of the jobs in the country are not created by small business, but big business. but by new business under five years at the tech company. the fashion industry or you name it. most of the jobs are being treated by new companies how do we make it easier for the entrepreneur inai those places t was a little bit of a fairness argument and impact how yo

sometimes silicon valley entrepreneurs are a little too aggressive in the predictions they make, howll change the world, bold statements that can be aspirational but sometimes come off as almost hockeyn . it doesn't happen in most cities we been tracking inn the companies i write about in the book because they tend to be more humble the part of the message is a need a little more hussle and make sure they tell their stories and there's probably a middle ground, you need to be convincing people to believe in your idea and your company whether attracting employers or investors or partners or customers, you need to tell your story and sometimes it does mean you have to beat your chest and your more comfortable with so that's cultural differences. >> let's go southwest, nashville is fascinating because it's a city thaton stone exceptionally well with the music industry and so much down there. some of the differences between nashville and eastern kentucky. >> when we did our first bus tour eight years ago, nashville was one-stop. we started in detroit in the pittsburgh and cincinnati and

in like silicon valley. absolutely. you know, got to work hard the entrepreneurs in other parts of the country work hard as well. there's a sort of a middle of the country work ethic that's always been there. there's also in the middle a country a little bit more of a humility, which is both good and bad, sometimes silicon valley kind of entrepreneur is are a little too aggressive. steve and some of the predictions they how they're going to, you know, change you know change the world these bold statements that are you can be kind of aspirational, but change the world is a bold statements that can be aspirational. but sometimes can come off as almost cocky. that is not happy most of the cities we have been tracking a most the companies i read about in the book. they do tend to be a little more humble. prop part of our message they need to have lower hustle. they need to make sure they tell their stories. there is probably a middle ground between those two. you need to be convincing people to believe in your idea, believe
