G. Web Ross
Author of Rescuing the
American Dream: The Entrepreneur’s Way
Listen to Audio
of Interview
HERE |
February is National Start a Business Month
A broad
survey of Americans has revealed the American Dream is
starting to fade, with fewer people than ever buying homes,
obtaining healthcare coverage and getting married. More
people are out of work and those who aren’t are earning
less.
The data,
provided by the Annual Community Survey conducted by the
U.S. Census Bureau, showed a sweeping look at life from the
viewpoint of more than 3 million American homes, with many
of the maladies striking Americans being blamed on the
recession.
However, one
retired CEO believes that it is the changing values of
executives, entrepreneurs and employees – not the recession
– that is to blame for most of our woes.

We’ll talk with the CNN Health nutritionist about how business
travelers can effectively deal with the inherent problems with
eating right while on the road. From starving you on the plane
on the way to your destination to the huge (and frequent)
portions available at business meeting meals and receptions,
it’s a real challenge to attain a balanced nutrition. Dr. Molina
gives us some great tips on coping and planning and reminds us
of a wonderful quote from Hippocrates, the
ancient health expert: “Let food be your
medicine.”
