Hector Barreto and Don Evans

USA: Hector Barreto, Administrator of the US Small Business Administration (SBA), and Don Evans, Secretary of Commerce (DOC), have appeared in several episodes of SmallBusinessSchool.

Hector Barreto was in San Diego after the big fire of October 2003; our cameras were rolling and that footage appears in the business continuity and resiliency episode. The title for TV Guide was Disaster and the Devils. All good people naturally work together in times of natural disasters. In our ever-opened and interconnected world, we now need to help each other avoid disasters instigated by nasty people.

Don Evans has appeared in episodes where the business owners were leading the way with exports and the focus was on BuyUSA.com and other activities of the Commercial Sector of the US Department of Commerce.

These gentlemen represent the best of government service. They are part of the balance we need to keep government responsible to her people. As business people we must also be responsible to our institutions of government and civility, that which guides the unfoldment of our morals and ethics. Michael Novak addresses this important balance in another episode of the show.

If our small businesses were to hire Iraqis to translate our web sites into Arabic, could that help bring peace to the region?


Orlando, Florida: "It may just be a crazy idea, but what would happen if small business owners were to hire Iraqis to translate each of our web sites? And, if this concept has merit, is there any- thing that Commerce, State and SBA could do to create an infrastructure to help make it happen?"

The event was a Town Hall meeting, a part of National Small Business Week. Televised by CNNfn (Friday, May 21), SmallBusinessSchool executive producer Bruce Camber asked SBA Administrator Hector Barreto and Secretary of Commerce Don Evans, "Is there something more we small business owners can do to support our troops and bring peace to Iraq?"

The thought behind the question was that such activities could serve everyone's best interests while possibly becoming a key to open new commerce and mutual understanding. After a person translates web pages into Arabic, he/she would be in position to begin advising their small business client to further position those products and services to sell into the Arabic world. The result, extending the essentials of democratic capitalism, might help to change the dynamics of the region.

Camber went on to say, "Prof. Michael Novak of the American Enterprise Institute was our guest on an episode of the show. He's extraordinary. Inspirational. The ideals that are the bedrock of small business are also the foundations of a country's economic, political and moral systems."

Camber approached Don Evans after the Town Hall meeting and Evans invited him to work with the DOC's Iraqi reconstruction initiative.
