Summary: This weekend,  Michael Tanner (Senior Fellow with the Cato Institute),  Jerry Bowyer (President of Bowyer research, a research firm that specializes in financial economics), and Andrei Voicu (Chief Investment Strategist for Fragasso Financial) all join Glen with thoughts on government spending, the economy, investing, and what our nation must to do be successful in 2014. Glen also talks with  Terrie Suica-Reed (Founder, President, and CEO of PHASE 4 learning) about her alternative to the traditional classroom setting, and how it is helping many at risk students be successful in school.   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.
