And they want like this big, like philosophical answer.

And it was just like, I just wanted to be able to have money for a yearbook or a bike or candy.

It was just a necessity.

There has to be a great enough need, right?

Because some people just like the idea of entrepreneurship, but then they try it, they taste it, or they have a good job that pays them well, and it doesn't give them energy because they don't really have a need.

So they kind of need to be at their own personal rock bottom.

I like to say that everyone needs to hit their own personal rock bottom, right?

And that looks different to different people.

But there needs to be a big enough need there.

And they need to have a bias for action.

Like they need to just be impatient.

Impatience can be a superpower.

They need to just do things.

Like not just like research endlessly, but like be willing to go out there and like try to get a customer.

And if they're not willing to do that, then they probably don't want to be an entrepreneur.

I think that we are survivors as humans, right?

We haven't had to survive in centuries.

But if we truly had to, if I'm a father and I have to feed my family and there are no jobs, I would, if I didn't have an entrepreneurial bone in my body, I would find a way to make it work, to feed my family.

I might not like it.

It might not be my true nature.
