Ep. 327: Entrepreneurship Mythbusted
02:08:15 Share

Returning guests Mike and Arnav join Filip and Jess to bust some common myths about entrepreneurship in general and the reality of tech startup life that the lifestyle gurus don't show you. We talk about risk management, the trap of VC culture, the (non)existence of work-life balance, money matters, and the role of public vs private sector in the fostering of "innovation."

• Special shoutout to our patron Paul for the joke about McKinsey towards the end! Join the discord for more bangers just like it.
