Summary: This weekend, Glen talks about minimum wage laws, and why increases hurt young people, destroy jobs, and damage our economy. Glen talks with Shelley Murray (personal photo organizer and membership consultant with FOREVER.com) about why she joined the FOREVER team, Randy Wenger (Chief Counsel and Founder of the Independence Law Center) about the dangers of Obama’s executive power grabs, and Ed Stack (CEO of Dick’s Sporting Goods) about leadership style and what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur. Glen Meakem is a successful technology entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and conservative talk radio show host, who offers information and insights on how individuals, our states, and our nation can be more successful. Glen’s unique perspective has been shaped by his experiences as founder, chairman and CEO of the B2B internet success Freemarkets Inc – which he founded in 1995, took public in 1999, and sold to Ariba in 2004. In 2006, Glen co-founded Meakem Becker Venture Capital, a firm that invests in early stage start up companies. More recently, Glen has founded and is the Chief Executive Officer of a new internet company called Forever.com. Concerned about the liberal political agenda that had gripped the United States and his home state of Pennsylvania, Glen launched the radio program, “Glen Meakem on the Weekend” in 2008. Glen served as an officer in the United States Army Reserve and is a veteran of the First Gulf War. He earned his undergraduate degree from Harvard and his MBA from Harvard Business School.
