Inventing the Future: Franklin’s Career Sparks
Franklin was an ideas man; he lived and breathed education and the free-flow of knowledge. It was to this end that Franklin created Junto in 1727, a group focused on stimulating a dialogue on the scientific and political ideas of the time, later becoming the American Philosophical Society. He also created the nation’s first public library in 1731, which would later come to be known as the Philadelphia Library.

Hugh Hefner Roast
In 2001, just weeks after the September 11th terrorist attacks in 2001, the New York Friars Club went ahead with its scheduled Hugh Hefner Roast. The Friars Club is a club located in New York City, which has become famous for its risqué roasts of celebrities. It was founded in 1904, and has since roasted such notable celebrities as Milton Berle, Sammy Davis, Jr., George Burns, Johnny Carson, Nat ‘King’ Cole, Harry Belafonte, Jerry Lewis, Chevy Chase, Richard Pryor, Pamela Anderson, and Donald Trump. In recent years, their roasts have been televised on Comedy Central, and members of the public have even been invited to attend the live tapings.

Barack Obama Election Ushers in A Different World
This week I was interviewed by Dominic Carter of New York 1, on his program called Inside City Hall. New York 1 is an all-news program that is popular in New York City, and Dominic Carter is someone I have a great deal of respect for. He should have a national show, but then New York would miss out on his full time and dynamic presence here. He describes me as “a man not known for keeping his opinions to himself” and the interview spanned two consecutive nights.
New York Commuter Tax
The state of New York recently passed legislation funding the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which serves the 12-county region of New York City. The legislation includes a new payroll tax on wages and compensation paid to employees who are employed within the New York Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District (MCTD).

Pee Tweet
I had a great flight home from LA on Southwest Airlines on Friday. My boycott on United has been going pretty well, but Amy and I are flying on it tomorrow to New York as it seems to be the only reasonable way to get from Denver to New York. I’m pessimistic. Plus I have a nasty cold so that’ll just make it more enjoyable.
The Forbes Formula
Over the last decade, I have been fortunate and privileged to develop an ongoing friendship with Steve Forbes. We first worked together in 1999 when he was producing a book entitled Great American Success Stories. After that, I began visiting Mr. Forbes in his office on each of my trips to New York City. Over the years, we have had many wonderful conversations sitting around the table in the library on the second floor of the Forbes Building. I have often wished I could include the readers of my books, those who watch my movies, and you who read these weekly columns in those wonderful discussions with Steve Forbes.

The power of a group
January 18th would have been Benjamin Franklin’s birthday. Now there’s a guy who saw opportunities that others did not. Ben invented the lightning rod, bifocals, the Franklin stove, the odometer, and the glass armonica. He formed both the first public library and the first fire department in Pennsylvania.
Getting Sach'd
Recently Greg Smith submitted his resignation from Goldman Sachs in a rather public way, with an op-ed in the New York Times. His diatribe against the abuses of a culture he described as "not right" led to an outpouring of emotion that will reverberate around the financial world and social media for years.
