(CNSNews.com) – Conservative leaders across the country who knew her mourned the death of Eagle Forum founder, prolific author, attorney and political activist Phyllis Schlafly, recalling her intelligence, strength and courage under fire.
"I was blessed to know Phyllis personally. She had so many virtues it is hard to single out any one. But if I had to, I would say that Phyllis exemplified unshakable conviction and integrity," said Media Research Center (MRC) president Brent Bozell.
For many years, only the top 2 percent of Americans could invest in startup companies due to excessive regulations. Ryan Feit made it his goal to change that. And now he has built SeedInvest, a company that opens access to more than 240 million would-be investors.
"One of the biggest challenges to changing laws is that you have to deal with incumbents who don't like change," Feit told Opportunity Lives. The process of changing the law that restricted access to the startup market wasn't easy. Feit and his co-founder, James Han, had to fight lobbyists and politicians to convince them that the general public should be able to invest in the startups that they use and love.
