David Friedberg recalls reading the Wall Street Journal during the dot-com bubble and deciding to pursue entrepreneurship instead of academic research. He wanted to control his own destiny and do impactful work rather than spend years in academia.
So at the time the dot-com bubble was going on and I would start to read the Wall Street Journal. I thought it was really interesting, like there's these crazy ideas coming out of Silicon Valley and people are doing crazy stuff and they're seemingly changing the world. The world is changing before my very eyes and around the world in which I live. And I read these stories in the Wall Street Journal. I remember I loved the marketplace section because it was like profiles of people doing cool stuff. and I thought this is what I want to do. Rather than sit in the dark room and be part of a cog in a machine that was going to take forever to output some theory that may or may not be disproven 50 years later, I wanted to be able to go out and do something that was impactful and would have lasting change in the world, and I could control my own destiny and I could make that happen in the time that I live on this earth. And it was really exciting to me.
