Transcript

Where do you think young people waste most of their time when building their career? I think young people are wasting most of their time at these larger companies, they have golden handcuffs. You're smart, you're literally getting paid millions of dollars per year. Which is extremely hard to let go of. When you want to leave, they add in stock, they add in cash, they add in bonuses. I know some of the most talented people that I think could build unicorn companies that ended up at Snapchat for 10 years, trading off to say their soul, because interesting, but they're trading off like, life-changing, extremely life-changing money and working on something that they want that one passion, idea that they have. But everyone can be an entrepreneur? I think everyone can be a certain type of entrepreneur. Like, an entrepreneur, like, a $5,000 a month business, like, yeah, anyone can do that. My friend literally prompted a chat to create a business with like a $50 budget and it created a business that makes, I think, $5,000 a month. So, yeah, they did the research, they found the domain name, they designed a really crappy logo. I think that like anyone can be an entrepreneur, kind of, what level are you shoot for? Like, what level are you trying to be? Like, a $5,000 a month business, like, yeah, anyone can do that. My friend literally prompted a chat to create a business with like a $50 budget and it created a business that makes, I think, $5,000 a month. So, yeah, they did the research, they found the domain name, they designed a really crappy logo. I think that like anyone can be an entrepreneur, kind of, what level are you shoot for?
