Tom Golisano talks about Entrepreneurship

Golisanovideocrop In keeping with this month's Business Strategies Magazine focus on the entrepreneur, there's a valuable video posted on the Simon School blog from Tom Golisano's speech at the Rochester Entrepreneurship Conference held there on March 9.

Golisano describes his very different experiences in starting, building, and leaving Paychex over many years vs. acquiring and turning around the Buffalo Sabres hockey team in the last four years -- with many instructive lessons for entrepreneurs. He also talks about his ideas on education and the Bishop Kearney High School initiatives.

With Q&A, the video runs over 43 minutes, but well worth the time.
