i went to an out-of-state college in a big city nobody else from my high school was going to. it worked well for a reset (not that i had particularly intended to accomplish that). and all the interesting people are in startups ;)

i was like "hey, you want to start a company?" that worked pretty well. or ask him for help coming up w/ a business plan. by the time you're done, he has a sense of ownership over the idea and is [hopefully] excited about it.
