Ann Makosinski, a 19-year-old student and entrepreneur from British Columbia, has an idea for a flashlight that runs on the heat from a human hand to charge. NBD, she’s also working on a children’s book, developing a TV project and planning a keynote in Saudi Arabia next month. “The Morning Blaze with Doc Thompson” crew wonders how she gets her ideas and what first inspired her. Makosinski, whose company is named Makotronics, talks about her drive to keep learning and her early curiosity as a kid taking apart computers with her dad. If you want entrepreneurial kids, teach them to be problem-solvers and don’t flood them with stuff. “Less is much better, I promise,” she says.
