Harvard Business School Senior Fellow Karen Gordon Mills, the former head of the U.S. Small Business Administration, talks about a range of topics, from how the economy has changed since the recession to what she calls “inclusive entrepreneurship,” in an interview with Inc. spanning a series of videos.

In the segment, “Own: Why Sole Proprietorship is On the Rise,” she speaks of the College and the power of clusters, which she used to help Maine’s boat building industry, at 2:52.

Mills is among the five people chosen to receive honorary degrees at Bowdoin’s 210th Commencement exercises Saturday, May 23, 2015.
