Teach kids entrepreneurship today for their success tomorrow | Brian Weisfeld | TEDxLAHS

Описание: It's important to instill entrepreneurship in youth--along with the boldness to act and innovate. This could start with something as simple as opening a lemonade stand as a child, and will build good characteristics and habits. Brian Weisfeld is a youth entrepreneurship advocate and author who has been building businesses his entire life. As a kid, he bought gummy bears and hired his friends to sell them. As a teen, he sorted baseball cards, babysat, and sold mixtapes. As an adult, he helped build well-known companies including IMAX Corporation and Coupons.com. Brian co-authored Penguin’s forthcoming You’re The Boss: A Kid’s Ultimate Guide to Starting Your Own Business to inspire kids to start their first businesses and to empower them to think like entrepreneurs. Brian is the co-author of the Macmillan-published The Startup Squad book series and founder of The Startup Squad Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to teaching entrepreneurship to girls from underserved communities. Brian has spoken to thousands of kids and adults on three continents during his career and was featured on Good Morning America for his work. Brian lives in Silicon Valley with his wife and two daughters. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
