School of Business 01/21/2012

Russ and John present the show that champions our meritocracy system (we use the big words in this show). Capitalism encourages entrepreneurism. Includes: the BusinessMakers Quote of the Week—folksy wisdom from American humorist Mark Twain; This Week in Business History includes the launch of the Lincoln Motor Co., creation of the wonderful Eskimo Pie (in 1922!), the first LEGO blocks and Play-Doh; the Jargon Challenge Round—trendy technospeak that YOU should know; and Dumb Moments in Business—Don’t let your cruise ship captain show off.

Mark Floreani - Flocasts

Russ visits with repeat guest Mark Floreani, founder of online sports media company Flocasts. This is a follow-up to our interview with Mark in August 2011 during which he introduced the concept for his company. (As a former track star and absolute sports freak, Mark is the perfect person to establish a media company to broadcast and cover underserved sports.) This interview was recorded on site at Team USA’s Olympic trials for marathon runners in the 2012 London Games.

Esther Steinfeld Freedman visits with the founder of DEFINE Body & Mind, former competitive diver Hank Richardson.
