sarah robinson is the ceo of the sarah robinson company, business coach, strategist and speaker who helps small business owners set their companies apart. she is also the author of the book "fierce loyalty: unlocking the dna of" great to see both of you guys. >> great to be with you. >> the first question is about owning a family business and getting funding. >> as a family-owned business, how difficult is it to get funding from general resources such as sba, venture capitalists or crowd funding? >> we had someone on recently who said that he never funds relatives. so what is your take? is that common or no? does it matter? >> i think it's wise not to fund relatives, because all kinds of bad problems could happen. but i think that all of those ways of getting funding are difficult. sba loan is difficult. a traditional funding is difficult. crowd sourcing is difficult. the trick is to figure out which one is the best fit for your kind of company, start there and then if that doesn't work out, move to the next one and move to the next one. >> do you think most investors or most banks care i

joins us live from the london peter thank you so much for joining us well as we have just heard kirsten robinson say that you know the bradley manning verdict will not deter future whistleblowers from speaking out to what extent do you agree with this. i think here in britain and throughout much of europe there was a great sense of unease about the way in which the u.s. government is trying to silence voices of dissent people who have blown the whistle on war crimes and other illegal acts by the u.s. government and who find themselves being prosecuted instead of the people they're exposed to have committed crimes being prosecuted that's the case of bradley manning you know he exposed things like the operation of death squads in afghanistan what the shooting dead of a father taking his kids to school like the horrific attack on a group of unarmed civilians which resulted in the deaths of eleven people clued in to reuters journalists without bradley manning's knowledge and expose a we the people would have never known these things that happened and what's ironic is that for exposing the truth and

just like jean robinson said and just like michael still said. he just needed to keep his mouth shut and get back in the car. it's -- for people that don't understand the realities of it, they just -- >> if you don't believe it happens, all you have to do yesterday was look at another column in "the washington post" by richard cohen who basically said, look, trayvon martin was wearing a hoody and we know that's what people engaged in crime wear. >> i didn't see that. did he really say that? >> tens of thousands of people wear hoodies. it's now a fashionable thing to do. >> i wear hoodies. we've been wearing hoodies. that's what you do. you put on sweats, you put on hoodies. >> it was sort of an insane column to be honest. >> was it really? >> on the same one as the sort of passionate eloquent column that eugene wrote yesterday was startling. >> because if something happens to us, it's one thing, but to your child, so eric holder's a big boy now. one thing that struck me, he said, i didn't think observe the tradition by talking to my son that we'v

here is madison robinson and her father, the creators. you are now 15 years old, tell me how you came up with this idea. >> yes, i love to john color and i loved love the beach and i wore flip-flops all the time. i drew a sketch and i give it to my dad and said, here, fish flops. ggerri: then you had to turn it into a business. >> yes, i went to the website and i purchased fish flops.com. and i said, okay, we have something. so i took the drawing and had some samples made. people place orders at the trade show and it was a big interest. >> these are not just any flip-flops. these are very colorful and bright and flashy. how how did you come up with that idea? i have seen shoes for kids. what made you do that? >> i just thought that i wanted to bring some personality to them. gerri: you said that there will be some adult flip flops coming? >> yes, we are interested and we focus on the children's first. gerri: you talked about those in their have to be some challenges along the way. >> it took time for the samples to come in and to get them

i knew about the african-american anger at the phillies at the way they treated robinson and refused to integrate the team. i remember that history. but it was about the player himself, jackie robinson and his beautiful wife who were able to establish permanent greatness because of their manner, the way they took almost like jesus, the manner in which they took the spitting. in this case, these noble parents seem to be showing that on your show tonight. >> i think you're right. i think that branch rickey and 42 was not looking for just the best athlete, but the best temperament. and i think history will say the reason trayvon martin's movement and trayvon martin will i think lead to some real change for the better for all of the people in this country is because of the temperament and the maturity of his family who were able to take it a lot better than all of us and keep their eye on the prize. driven, and in many ways passionate, but also disciplined and focused. and that's unusual when you are grieving and in pain at the same time. >> well, congratulations to you, sir. as i said b

dionne, "washington post" columnist eugene robinson and still here andrea mitchell and chuck todd. i want to switch gears from foreign policy to domestic policy on a lot of fights back at home including, david brooks, health care. i talked to a business leader about a week ago. he said still couldn't understand why the administration would pass a health care law and execute on a health care law the impact of which was so uncertain. he said we would never do that in business. and here was another example of that. explain what's happened and the impact. >> what they're trying to do is regulate 17% of the u.s. economy, roughly the size of the economy of france. that's bound to be a problem. that's bound to go through messy things. the employer mandate which is delayed is the smallest foothill of the problems. the biggest problems are the exchanges, where young people don't have incentive. those will be big and messy. whether you support it or oppose it, you have to be ready for the messiness. the crucial thing for us is how does that messiness interact with the political system. we co
