Not sure if you are aware but the episode was unavailable on the web page. That's unfortunate as I was really looking forward to it!

Richard Saul Wurman

Richard Saul Wurman likes to simplify things to initials and numerals: TED is the Technology Entertainment Design conference he created; TUB is The Understanding Business, a company Wurman founded to capitalize on his theories of knowledge.

There’s also TOP, one of his publishing companies, along with Access Press, that produced books on “the topics that matter in our lives”—such as healthcare, wealthcare, travel and child-raising; IA is information architecture, a field Wurman essentially launched three decades ago; or it could stand for “Information Anxiety,” his blockbuster 1990 book that foresaw the growing problem of data clutter and proposed a radical new means of organizing and presenting knowledge.

  • Mark Hellendrung

    CEO, The Narragansett Beer Company

    What do you do when you're looking for a new business venture, you're nostalgic, and you love baseball and good old fashioned beer? The answer was simple for Mark  Hellendrung: re-launch Narragansett Beer. Hellendrung, former president of Nantucket Nectars and head of sales for a Vermont brewery, decided to seek a new opportunity when Nantucket Nectars moved to New York. Thinking of ways to capitalize on his beverage distribution expertise and his passion for beer, he remembered Narragansett and the strong attachment he and many New Englanders had for the brew.
