"Take us anywhere, and we're knocking on stuff and turning it upside down," "Gadget Nation" author and "Innovation Insider" Steve Greenberg grew up in a Greenberg says. "We learned that from my dad. It's very much a part of who I am." But it isn't the family's primary passion. "I' mean, we're the kind of family that, when we're eating at a restaurant, we're talking about the next restaurant we're going to. I'm very big on finding a good meal."

America being a place of liberty and freedom – and I'm not taking that away, because it is – but it's really about entrepreneurship. Coming up with the next great idea and taking that to fame and fortune. You meet these people, and they're so tenacious and so excited about their invention. And it's just contagious.
