There is no doubt that there are a lot of young, brilliant minds out there these days. It's pretty amazing when a 12 year old can organize groups of hundreds of people and lead successful, strategic rebellions in the online gaming world.

It's a sign of an entrepreneurial spirit - and the mind of a leader.

The Internet and the new world of technology has given today's youth an advantage to develop and hone entrepreneurial and leadership skills at a very early age. Many go on to college to further develop these skills with the intention of starting their own businesses someday. The result is many bright, young minds looking for - and creating - new business ideas and startup ventures.

Gregg Blanchard, Creator and Host of the TeenBiz Podcast joins host, Anita Campbell along with co-host, Steve Rucinski, to share some of the unique insights and ideas that today’s student entrepreneurs have to offer.

Below are the questions we asked Gregg in this episode:
