Editor’s note: The Millennials are a generation that are constantly plugged in and moving fast to make their mark on the world. CNN’s Quest Means Business is tracking four of them. (CNN) – In New York, Michael Burbach tells CNN belief is everything. According to this Millennial: "If you want it and need it enough, you can do it, that's the craziest thing." But Michael's shot at the bright lights cannot begin without a dramatic final test. Michael is joining his classmates at Marymount Manhattan College for their first rehearsal of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Michael's performance here is crucial. It is the culmination of years of hard work. London (CNN) – Magic Johnson is back in LA, with a new sport to conquer. The former LA Lakers legend - together with a group of investors calling themselves Guggenheim Baseball Management - has moved into Major League Baseball, spending $2 billion to buy the bankrupt Los Angeles Dodgers. Magic's men won out over a list of suitors that read like some kind of financial fantasy baseball lineup. There were sports investors like Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke. America's 35th richest man, hedge fund manager Steven Cohen, was a frontrunner. Former team manager Joe Torre was interested. Even Walt Disney's family sniffed around. The successful $2 billion offer – the most expensive purchase of an American sports franchise in history – was a far higher price than expected. Berlin (CNN) – Roland was a border guard. For four years, he patrolled the Berlin Wall. He had a licence to kill his fellow East German citizens if they tried to escape. Roland is part of Berlin's past. Lara is four. She has only ever known freedom and democracy. She is part of Berlin's future. As the pair stroll, hand-in-hand, along one of the last stretches of the wall, memories are handed down. This is a city that may have moved on, but has certainly not forgotten. The need to remember echoes around Berlin, and the wall features prominently in blue prints for the future. |
