A Kansas businessman for most of his adult life, Greg Orman former independent candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2014 found his entrepreneurial spirit working summers in a furniture warehouse owned by his father in Stanley, Kansas.

He’ll discuss his years in business and how it factored into his 2014 political run for office, possible solutions for businesses plus they’ll discuss the extent of government's involvement in business.
