Stephen Wolfram answers questions from his viewers about business and innovation as part of an unscripted livestream series, also available on YouTube here: https://wolfr.am/youtube-sw-business-qa

Questions include: Tell us about your failures as an entrepreneur and what you learnt from them? - What is your opinion about software patents? - How many hours did you work in academia compared when you went to industry? - How can young people, like my niece obsessed with Fusion Rockets, follow their dreams? - How much should one be projected in the future, rather than staying focused on the present? - Why was Steve Jobs so successful? Was he a good engineer or a good seller? Or a good designer? - What is more important: focus or a good idea? - How quickly did you get help with Biz Admin, accounting and such? - How much of the operations of the biz are you able to automate with functions in WL, are there special functions for this unique purpose? - What is your success/failure ratio for ideas/projects you've started, that haven't quite worked out? - ​How much do you think that the title of your degree affects what projects you will be able to work on? Do you think the label traps you in one field or type of job? - Have you ever thought about talking on the Indie Hackers podcast? They showcase self-funded businesses - In what category am I? is 39 considered young, or am i in the "Others" category? Thousands of ideas I have, so thousands things to do, but how to prioritize? That I don't care about the money when doing something interesting and working on a project, is that a good idea?
