The need to encourage entrepreneurship and ensure that young people have the opportunity to start new businesses is acute.

Young people need models, not critics.

These are great young people and we are very fortunate to have the opportunity to do this. It should be an exciting and educational trip.

One reason why upturns follow downturns is that downturns tend to overshoot. People get panicky, they're afraid to stay the course, so they start selling. The other thing is that I think, as entrepreneurs keep on waiting to produce new things, that there's an accumulation of as-yet-unexploited new ideas that keeps mounting up.

We need to create an ecosystem which will make young people want to start their own company.

My thinking has always been that the worst problem we have with regard to lack of inclusion is the terribly low labor force participation rates and terribly high unemployment rates of young men, especially young men in ethnic minority groups and, in particular, young black men.
