"I think my greatest hope is just that they when i was growing up, i didn't have a love of learning," she says. "When i started getting into business, i picked up a book again ... and thank god i did." She hopes her kids will be able to learn whatever they want in their early years.

My guest is businessman and investor Andrew Wilkinson, who has made a successful career out of channeling his entrepreneurial spirit, but he knows that sometimes that energy can be a double-edged sword.
