Alex Khachatryan of Reasoning Mind, Inc.

Alex Khachatryan, Founder, President, and CEO of Reasoning Mind, Inc., talks with Russ about his unique, non-profit company's innovative approach to teaching math and science for grades K-12. His teaching system of computer labs, where each student has his or her own unique login, tracks and analyzes a student's progress. This in turn creates a unique path customized to that particular student's way of learning. The teacher is then able to better assist the students with more one on one interaction even in a large class environment.

Flashback - Idea Triggers

This week we have a Flashback theme with 3 different entrepreneurs giving us their business idea triggers. First we hear Bill Groux tell us how his young daughter inspired his idea to teach English to Hispanic restaurant workers. Second is Lawrence Kersten of Despair, Inc. and his million dollar business idea of making fun of the motivational industry. Last is Catherine Rohr's story of a prison tour that inspired her to better our prison population's chances on the outside.
