I really enjoyed the segment with Aaron Crumm discussing how he started his business Adaptive Materials Inc.. Of course, the fact that he holds a Phd. from U of M doesnt't hurt, but I can really respect him for using the knowledge he had, coming to the realization of what his strong points are and putting it all to good use. I too aspire to start a business of my own and it is great to listen to first hand accounts of various things one encounters in the process of building a successful company. It was also interesting to hear about how important it is for his company in particular to have all of their technology patented, for if it wasn't, a company more powerful like IBM could just crush him like a bug.
