253. Why entrepreneurship culture sucks

Nick Huber
About this episode

A little quick episode about what sucks in entrepreneurship culture. I've been trying to be positive and avoid being negative. So, let me rant for a bit. I notice lately how the media are romanticizing the idea of building a "start-up" business and gaining hype around starting a business with these "new" ideas. Frankly, I call BS. Find out more on why Entrepreneurship Culture Sucks in this episode!
