Transcript
People ask me if they want to be an entrepreneur, when should they quit their job? The answer is probably now. You can do side bar for a while, but being in a corp, soul-crushing corporation will kill your spirit. I worked in in those environments for a few years of my career and I will tell you, I had some friends and I like the people, but it was impossible to get a rise out of them, get them excited about anything. They didn't want to go do anything other than punch in and out, spit out a few more kids. It was so fucking basic. And if you stay there, you're going to get infected. And by infected, I mean it's like the zombie shit where like they bite you, you get infected and then you stay there for 30 years. I've seen this happen to so many people. They talk and they talk and they talk and they never get out.
