John Pappajohn On What Makes an Entrepreneur

Duration: 05:05

His office attests to his love of art. John Pappajohn's reputation as a philanthropist is the equal of his stature as an art collector. Both passions are fueled by another, his love of growing new ventures. With a personal fortune estimated at a half a billion dollars, he is giving away both art and cash. Perhaps most notably, Pappajohn is sharing his vision by financing five entrepreneurial education centers in the state.

Since their inception a decade ago, the centers have produced nearly three thousand business startups, for more than sixty thousand students who have gone through the entrepreneurial cirriculum.
