The stories of entrepreneurial giants who have built something from nothing inspire us:  Bernard Goldhirsh of Inc. Magazine, Harry Quadracci of Quad/Graphics, Daniel Lubetsky of the snack company Kind,  and Steve Mariotti of Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship. The stories of survivors also inspire us.  Like those of psychologist Tova Friedman and Sam Solasz of Master Purveyors. Harold Klein, the founder of Teletime Video along with his wife Nan, has interviewed all of them. Now Harold and Nan are expanding the meaning of entrepreneurship and survival to include remarkable people like Vietnam veteran Bill Vandegriff, who has overcome great personal hardship because of his experience as a soldier through his own grit and resilience. In Harold's own family tree, from his grandfather for whom he's named, to his own son Joe, you can see what Dr. Rachel Yehuda of Mt. Sinai has helped to bring to light - how resilience can be literally passed on from generation to generation. That resilience often comes in the form of entrepreneurship. And it often begins with a mentor. Did you know that one of the mentors of the great Martin Luther King's was Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, a figure central to Harold's faith? Steve's conversation with Harold is a profound one, which started on the steps of the 92nd Y after the world premiere of an episode of Harold and Nan's new documentary "Trauma to Triumph...the Rise of the Entrepreneur."  Harold's introductory remarks at the premiere, as well as the film, were an epiphany for Steve in how he views Sidney Taussig, the last boy, and his roommates who created their own government, and the longest-running underground publication of the Holocaust. Most of them would not survive, but their magazine of poems and prose does, proving that the entrepreneurial spirit can transcend hate, adversity, and even death.

Can entrepreneurship be learned? We'd like to believe it can, since entrepreneurs drive economic growth — creating tomorrow as Per Bylund puts it — and betterment for their individual customers and for society. Emergent circumstances placed Steve Mariotti in the position of teaching entrepreneurship to boys and girls in the nation's toughest high school. After some trial and error, here's what he established. Key Takeaways And Actionable Insights There's a universal desire for the fruits of entrepreneurship. Steve classified this desire as a drive to escape poverty. You are restricted from ownership, and all the feelings of pride and fulfillment that come with it, when you are poor. Ownership — what economists call private property — is an exciting prospect. If entrepreneurship provides a route, people will take it. Steve's innovative entrepreneurship curriculum generated intense excitement. He had difficulty in commanding attention for English and Math, but the same students who resisted conventional learning were stimulated and energized by the subject of entrepreneurship. The open door to learning entrepreneurship is understanding market pricing. Steve started the entrepreneurial journey for students with thinking about pricing of an everyday product — in his case, wristwatches. Why are there so many prices for wristwatches? Why are there so many kinds of wristwatches at different price points? Why is it that one person would pay a high price for one kind of wristwatch and another person would refuse, preferring an alternative at a different price? Just thinking about pricing in this way was a revelation. Thinking about pricing can lead to an understanding of unit economics. Entrepreneurs need to know two prices — the one the buyer will pay and the one that represents their cost. Steve quickly established that this knowledge is harder to establish. Is there a profit in the priced transaction for the entrepreneur once all costs — of time, money, effort and alternatives — are taken into account. This requires an understanding of sourcing and supply chains, wholesalers and vendors, direct and indirect costs and overhead, as well as personal preferences (do you really want to spend all the time and effort that the business will require of you?) High schools are resistant to teaching entrepreneurship, and Steve's students were constrained by regulation and authority. “You may not talk about money in the classroom.” These and other restrictions were typical of the barriers Steve faced – and faced down. Entrepreneurship is one of the most relevant skills to impart to high schoolers, and yet the subject was viewed with disdain. Steve emphasizes practicality as the critical foundation for teaching entrepreneurship. He taught his kids unit economics, profit and loss, simple accounting and the practicalities of starting, growing and managing a business. No theory. Everyone in his class succeeded with a starter business. Many went on to greater entrepreneurial success. Steve has taught entrepreneurship all over the world, and found that culture matters a great deal. In post-communist Russia, young people could not grasp supply and demand, entrepreneurial profit and unit economics. The labor theory of value had been brainwashed into them. In post-communist Vietnam, in contrast, people thronged to his teaching and eagerly pursued all the behavioral changes he advocated, both at the entrepreneurial level and the government administrative level (like adopting low, simple tax schemes). Theirs was a more receptive culture. Additional Resources The role of knowledge in entrepreneurship—"Steve Mariotti Channels F.A.

Imagine if young people in low-income communities were taught about money and small business? Today’s guest has done exactly that. Steve Mariotti is a prominent advocate for entrepreneurship education worldwide. He currently serves as Senior Fellow for Entrepreneurship at Rising Tide Capital in Jersey City. He is the founder and former president of the global nonprofit Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE), and the author of 44 books, textbooks, and articles exploring the transformative power of entrepreneurship for low-income communities. In his riveting personal memoir of his early career as a New York City public high school teacher, Goodbye Homeboy: How My Students Drove Me Crazy and Inspired a Movement, Steve Mariotti shares the touching story of how he discovered that teaching even the most disenfranchised and disillusioned children about small business lights a fire for learning in them and transforms their futures. This experience inspired him to found NFTE to empower at-risk youth to create pathways out of poverty.   Steve founded NFTE on his public high school teacher's salary in 1987. He led teams that raised more than $150 million for NFTE's mission over 26 years, building NFTE into the leading global provider of entrepreneurship education for low-income youth from Chicago to China. Today, NFTE operates in 23 locations in 10 countries and has served nearly one million young people.  Steve soon discovered there were no textbooks available for teaching entrepreneurship to young people, so he wrote groundbreaking textbooks, including the Golden Lamp Award-winning high-school textbook Entrepreneurship: Starting and Operating a Small Business, and the junior college textbook Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management. Steve is also the author of the popular Young Entrepreneur’s Guide to Starting and Running a Business.  Approximately 1.2 million copies of Steve's books, textbooks and workbooks have been sold or donated worldwide, including to prison educational programs like ITEM (Inmates Teaching Entrepreneurship and Mentoring), which Steve co-founded with Joe Robinson in 2004.  In 2012, Steve was inducted into the Entrepreneurship Hall of Fame. His multiple awards include: Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year; Bernard A. Goldhirsh Social Entrepreneur of the Year; New York Enterprise Report 2012 Founders Award for Social Entrepreneurship; National Director’s Entrepreneurship Award from U.S. Department of Commerce Minority Business Development Agency; Association of Education Publishers Golden Lamp Award for best curriculum (2002) and best math curriculum (2010); ACE/Currie Foundation Humanitarian Venture Award; USASBE Entrepreneurship Educator of the Year; CEO Club Social Entrepreneur of the Year; America’s Top High School Business Teacher.

A Council on Foreign Relations member, he has lectured at The World Economic Forum, Davos and other forums and universities. Raised in Flint, Michigan, Steve received his B.B.A. in business economics and his M.B.A. from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Mr. Mariotti has also studied at Harvard University, Stanford University, Brooklyn College and Babson College. He enjoys attending lectures on physics at the Institute for Advanced Studies in his current hometown, Princeton NJ.  In today’s conversation, Steve shares his story, how he overcame his personal learning disabilities and PTSD and used that experience to launch his teaching career, which ultimately led him to found NFTE and empower over a million young people to date.   Key Takeaways  Approximately 900,000 students drop out of school in the US, and they come from about 600 schools – called dropout factories. If we mess up the education of a young person, it doesn’t really matter what else we do afterwards. Many kids who grow up in poverty are unaware of the different prices for an item or production structure behind it; they only know the retail price. If we can eliminate poverty we can eliminate a lot of the problems we have, and then we can deal with other higher order problems. Those of us in the US need to look at countries like Finland with nearly a 100% literacy rate and Singapore who is so far ahead academically, and ask how ourselves we can get better. Every child should learn about small business.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Steve Mariotti changed career paths in 1982 when he decided to move from the corporate sector and become a special education teacher in the New York City school system. Mr. Mariotti's first assignment was in the East New York section of Brooklyn, and his last was in the Fort Apache section of the South Bronx. ABOUT THE BOOK - GOODBYE HOMEBOY One sunny afternoon in 1982, a young businessman experienced a terrifying mugging in New York City that shook him to his core. Tortured by nightmares about the teens who roughed him up, Steve Mariotti sought counseling. When his therapist suggested that he face his fears, Mariotti closed his small import-export business and became a teacher at the city's most notorious public school--Boys and Girls High in Bed-Stuy. Although his nightmares promptly ceased, Mariotti's out-of-control students rapidly drove him to despair. One day, Mariotti stepped out of the classroom so his students wouldn't see him cry. In a desperate move to save his job, he took off his watch and marched back in with an impromptu sales pitch for it. To his astonishment, his students were riveted. He was able to successfully lead a math lesson for the first time. Mariotti realized his students felt trapped in soul-crushing poverty.

In this episode, Caroline Glackin and Michael Barbera discuss micro-finance, micro-loans, and human behavior. Microfinance, also called microcredit, is a type of banking service that is provided to unemployed or low-income individuals or groups who otherwise have no other access to financial services. While institutions participating in the area of microfinance are most often associated with lending, many offer additional services, including bank accounts and micro-insurance products, and provide financial and business education. Ultimately, the goal of microfinance is to give impoverished people an opportunity to become self-sufficient.   About Dr. Caroline Glackin Dr. Caroline Glackin is on the faculty at UNC Fayetteville State University where she serves as a Direct Selling Education Foundation Fellow and Sam Walton Fellow.
