What would the world look like if we all became a bit more entrepreneurial? In 7th grade Martin’s teacher put down his dreams, and encouraged him to strive for “a real job”. In this talk you will meet Nico, a 12 year old farmer, hear about the invention of the Internet, and finally understand why Michelle Obama got so upset when the Danish Prime Minister, Helle Thorning, snapped a selfie with the leader of the free world. After 17 minutes your view on entrepreneurship will never be the same again.
