YEARN TO LEARN = $

When it comes to television programming that presents information in an informative and entertaining way it is hard to find. In our search this past weekend surprisingly we came upon two excellent programs that fill the bill on Bloomberg Television on their Saturday and Sunday shows. For the viewer the question is are they interested in intelligent programming that can be useful in their lives or intellectually deficient shows which does nothing to gain food for the brain.

Bloomberg is largely and financial news network during the week. On Saturday and Sunday they focus on news features involving individuals who are largely responsible for the growth of the Internet and other state of the art businesses. The majority of those features are young entrepreneurs who became millionaires while in their 20's and 30's. The good news is for those on the move the Saturday programs are repeated on Sunday.

This past week Bloomberg ventured into the life of Internet tycoons space including the Charlie Rose program interview with the questionable founder of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg and his older female COO Sheryl Sandberg. The most revealing excerpt from that show was Zuckerberg hired someone from Google to run the business. Young intelligent creators of businesses were the most repeated theme in the shows we reviewed last week. Rose has been in the interviewing business for a while and is thorough but the thrust of Bloomberg is the emphasis on stories that are relative to the Internet age.

Risk Takers is the most interesting program. Risk Takers is a series that presents the stories of extraordinary men and women in a new generation of entrepreneurs and leaders who have taken a gamble, faced down failure, and revolutionized the way the world does business. They're changing the way we live and work in the 21st Century. The program reports on two businesses in an hour with two 30 minute back to back stories.

Pay Pal co-founder Elon Musk and Twitter creator Jack Dorsey were features this past week. Each encountered obstacles in their business. They bit the bullet and overcame them or moved on. Musk who was born in South Africa had no interest in compulsory service and having to join the South African military to support apartheid. Musk was a wonder child. By the age of 12 he sold his first commercial software for about $500, a space game called Blastar. Building a business was more his interest than fighting for a cause he did not believe in.

Musk's mother was born in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, and many of his relatives reside in western Canada, so Musk immigrated there in June 1989.

He left Canada in 1992 after receiving a scholarship to study business and physics at the University of Pennsylvania. From the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, he earned an undergraduate degree, and stayed on another year to finish a second bachelor's degree in physics. With his undergraduate degrees behind him, and drawing inspiration from innovators such as Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla; Musk then considered three areas he wanted to get into that were "important problems", as he said later, "One was the Internet, one was clean energy, and one was space."

In 1995, Musk went on to a graduate program in applied physics and materials science at Stanford, in which he stayed two days before dropping out to start Zip2, with his brother Kimbal Musk which provided online content publishing software for news organizations. In 1999, Compaq's AltaVista division acquired Zip2 for US$307 million in cash and US$34 million in stock options.

Musk went on the become co-founder of Pay Pal, Telsa Motors the manufacture of electric cars and Space X. SpaceX develops and manufactures space launch vehicles, with an emphasis on low cost and high reliability. On December 23, 2008, SpaceX was awarded a $1.6 billion NASA contract for 12 flights of their Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station, replacing the Space Shuttle after it retired in 2011.

Musk is only 40-years-old and keeps going and going and going. At the age of 34 Musk's fortune was estimated at US$328 million in 2005.
