Could a criminal background be better training for entrepreneurship than an MBA? That's the controversial suggestion from former drug smuggler, Duane Jackson who is founder and CEO of Kashflow, a provider of web-based accounting software. Plus, advice from the young American personal finance guru, Ramit Sethi about how to save money. He argues that cutting back on small items such as a daily latte should not be the key focus.
