This week in Small Business

Also on tap: hear from lawyers who expect young immigrants to flood small employers. Learn why Gen Yers are more likely than the average worker to study to be entrepreneurs and to work at small ventures. Meet the brains behind a craft beer brand that outsources production and a startup seeking the middle ground between upstart eyeglass e-tailers and established brands. Finally, catch a chat with the co-author of Heart, Smarts, Guts, and Luck, who elaborates on the importance of self-awareness. Enjoy. –Nick Leiber
