It’s been more than two months since Big Omaha, but the lessons and experiences shared by the speakers aren’t losing their value any time soon. We’re still digesting everything they had to say on stage, but Kauffman Founders School took it a step further. They sat down with several of the speakers off stage to expound on those experiences for the online educational resource’s new Founder Genius section.

Beyond the Big Omaha-related goodies—42 clips in all within seven topics—make sure to browse the rest of the School’s offerings. Kauffman Foundation has been a huge help in pulling off our events, but they also do a stellar job getting entrepreneurs the advice and information needed to get a company up and running.

Here are a few selections from their video library, as well as links to the topics that hold all the videos—just click the subheads. Jump in for a few minutes over lunch or whenever you’re ready to be inspired and informed.
