Hanna, a merchant banker in New York City who originally hails from Georgia, explains how financial engineering not only makes credit more widely available to entrepreneurs today but also played a crucial role in the discovery of America.

Lai explains that entrepreneurs, when taking risks, are "dashing into hope."
