Entrepreneurs play a huge role in society by bringing underappreciated products to market -- products that can help people but that big companies are too busy or disinterested to develop.

Daniel Forbes of the University of Minnesota and Eden Blair of Bradley University discuss how entrepreneurs can benefit society and do things their own way.
