In this video, I share my contrarian take on entrepreneurship vs. getting a job, why almost nobody actually wants the true limit of entrepreneurship, why the "start a business or stay poor" content you see on social media is usually selling you something, and the middle-ground frame I recommend instead: applying the entrepreneurial spirit to whatever path you choose. Whether you're Gen Z deciding between starting a business or a career, or just questioning the all-or-nothing advice online, this is the frame I'd give anyone my age or younger.
