Jacob gave a nice and humanizing presentation on some of the philosophy behind his startup. Though he didn’t get very deep into the topic indicated by the title of his talk, he was very engaging in exactly the manner you’d expect that a dude with a truck could be.

Associated Press |
LOS ANGELES (AP) — President Barack Obama is on a three-day fundraising swing through California and what he says at some of his stops will be anybody’s guess.
Two of the four events he’s attending in Los Angeles and San Francisco are closed-door. No media allowed in.

Apply now: Obama gets a job offer in California
SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — He’s still got two years left on his current contract, but President Barack Obama is already fantasizing about the day he can go to work in sweatpants.
And he’s got at least one job offer.
Obama was answering questions Thursday from young entrepreneurs at the office facility Cross Campus when one go-getter, Ariel Jalali, pitched his startup Sensay, a mobile app corporation.
“The question is really more in the form of an offer,” he said. “I wanted to get a jump on the competition in offering you your next gig. It’s super rewarding. You get to help people.”
Obama asked with a laugh, “You’re offering me a job?”
“That’s right,” Jalali said.
“Wow, OK,” the president said.
Jalali continued: “You can help anyone from anywhere using your — nothing more than your brain and a smartphone, and you can do it anonymously. So, what do you think?”
The audience laughed along with Obama and his would-be employer. Obama did allow that being president had been a privilege but that eight years was long enough. Being able to dabble in the issues of the day while wearing sweatpants and a baseball cap sounded attractive, he admitted.
“But I think I’d have to check out your perks,” the president said. “Do you have, like, a sushi bar?”

U.S. Steps Up Airport Ebola Screening; Kansas Senate Race Tightens; Latinos and Dems; Where the Money Is
Good morning, it’s Thursday, October 9, 2014. President Obama travels to Southern California today. The official purpose of the trip is two-fold: Thursday afternoon, he will host a town-hall meeting at Cross Campus, a work space and event venue in Santa Monica designed to foster business innovation and collaboration; Friday, he’ll trek to San Dimas for the official announcement designating half of the San Gabriel Mountains as a national monument.
Today’s western sojourn is Obama’s 20th to Los Angeles or Orange County as president. His presence is so ubiquitous in those parts that Variety reports the attendant traffic snarl-ups caused by his motorcade have been dubbed “Obamajams” by locals.
As a California native, I can’t fault him for wanting to be in the Golden State, but California’s moniker is no coincidence, a subject I’ll revisit in a moment. First, I’d direct you to RealClearPolitics’ front page, which aggregates stories and columns from across the political spectrum, and to a complement of original material from RCP’s reporters and contributors.

There’s a lot of money in Southern California, but then again, there’s a lot everything there, including politically active Democrats with disposable income to burn. In other words, these are not holidays the president is taking in LaLa Land: In 17 of Obama’s 20 trips to Los Angeles and Orange County as president, the itinerary has included fundraising events.
Today’s fundraiser takes place at the Brentwood home of actress Gwyneth Paltrow. For a cool $1,000, supporters can attend a pre-dinner reception. Eating dinner with the stars and having a picture taken with the president later in the evening is a pricier proposition: $32,400, to be precise.
If that’s a bit too steep for your blood, a Democratic National Committee roundtable discussion Friday morning at the home of restaurant chain owner Michael Chow will only set you back $15,000. Yes, it’s expensive, but the DNC is not having any trouble with that price point, either.
What’s occurring here is classic example of Sutton’s Law.
The inspiration for that dictum was a comment supposedly made by career criminal Willie Sutton. He made the FBI’s most wanted list in 1950 and served two decades in prison for bank robbery and various escape attempts before being paroled in 1969. A story in a California newspaper in the early 1950s reported that when Sutton was asked why he robbed banks he replied pithily, “That’s where the money is.”
It sounds like Willie Sutton, an erudite fellow who robbed banks politely and with great élan. But Sutton insisted in his autobiography (he penned two books in prison) that the words weren’t his.
“The credit belongs to some enterprising reporter who apparently felt a need to fill out his copy,” he wrote. “I can’t even remember where I first read it. It just seemed to appear one day, and then it was everywhere.”
But if Sutton was immortalized for a quip he never made, it prompts one question: Why did he commit all those bank jobs?
“Why did I rob banks?” he wrote. “Because I enjoyed it. I loved it. I was more alive when I was inside a bank, robbing it, than at any other time in my life. I enjoyed everything about it so much that one or two weeks later I’d be out looking for the next job. But to me the money was the chips, that’s all.”

President Barack Obama toured Cross Campus, a shared workspace campus in Santa Monica, on Thursday afternoon shortly after 2:45 pm and hailed the so-called "millennial” generation as a driving force in rebuilding the nation’s economy, and one that will change the face of the business world. "I know that there’s a few of us here who are only young at heart, but a lot of you are part of the millennial generation that’s going to change how we do things,” Obama said after touring Cross Campus on Colorado Avenue and meeting with workers at the shared office space. "Today more of our young people are earning a college degree than ever before,” he said. "More and more children of low-income parents are enrolling in college and earning their shot at the American Dream. Along with higher education levels, millennials have a lower gender pay gap than other generations, and we’re working to close that gap even further. And what we’re seeing here is the way that technology is changing not just how you do business, not just how you buy products, but also how you interact, how you organize politically, how you get involved in the community and how you solve problems. "And all of that can support millions of new jobs. So in some waysentrepreneurship is in the DNA of this generation,” Obama said. Obama took part in a Q&A discussion at Cross Campus, which is a collaborative space that brings together freelancers, creative professionals, entrepreneurs, and startup teams funded by venture capitalists. The president’s visit coincided with the release of a report by the President’s Council of Economic Advisors on millennials, the group born between 1980 and the mid-2000s, the nation’s largest generation, representing one-third of the population. n an attempt to aid millennials, Obama has proposed increasing federal financial support for higher education, making student loan payments more affordable, supporting innovation, increasing the minimum wage and assisting first-time homebuyers. At Cross Campus, Obama hailed millennials as "a rising generation of talented, striving, innovative, young people.” He said the impact of millennials is being felt not just in California, but across the country. "A lot of you entered into the workforce during the worst financial crisis and then the worse recession since the great depression,” Obama said. "And a lot of cynics have said, well that makes many of you part of a lost generation. But I don’t buy that because when I travel around the country I see the kind of energy and hope and determination that so many of you are displaying here." Later today, Obama is scheduled to visit the Brentwood home of actress Gwyneth Paltrow for a reception and dinner benefiting the Democratic National Committee. Tickets are priced from $1,000 to $32,400, the maximum allowable contribution to a national party committee in a calendar year, according to the website, PoliticalPartyTime.org, which tracks political fundraisers. The fundraiser will be Obama’s 30th in Los Angeles County as president. Bill Clinton conducted 36 and George W. Bush and Ronald Reagan eight each through the sixth years of their administrations, according to research by Brendan J. Doherty, an associate professor in the Department of Political Science at the U.S. Naval Academy, for his book "The Rise of the President’s Permanent Campaign.” George H.W. Bush conducted 10 and Jimmy Carter six during their single terms, according to Doherty. Obama’s visit is his 20th to Los Angeles or Orange counties since taking office in 2009. Obama has conducted fundraisers during 17 of his 20 trips to Los Angeles or Orange counties as president. Coincidentally, one of Obama’s top political adversaries is also scheduled to be in the Southland for a fundraiser today. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, is set to headline an evening fundraiser in Irvine for the Republican Party of Orange County. The president will take part in another Democratic National Committee fundraiser Friday, speaking at a $15,000-per-person roundtable discussion at the home of restaurateur Michael Chow, according to Variety. Obama will then visit Frank G. Bonelli Regional Park in San Dimas to announce an executive order declaring 346,000 acres of land in the San Gabriel Mountains northeast of Los Angeles as a national monument. He is scheduled to leave Los Angeles at 2:20 pm Friday, bound for San Francisco.
