This is a YouTube video titled "Families Don't Support Entrepreneurs | Bridger Pennington" (posted 2024-01-15T17:00:14+00:00). The excerpt is a short monologue — likely Bridger Pennington — about the common experience that entrepreneurs' families often do not cheer them on and may resent their success because they shared the same starting resources and missed opportunities. The clip focuses on family dynamics and emotional responses to entrepreneurial success.

There's gonna be a group of people that hopefully will come with you for your whole life and hopefully your family cheers you on. But from the vast majority of entrepreneurs that I talk to, their family doesn't cheer 'em on. And actually what happens is the people that are from your family or grew up with you, if you are successful, you started with the same resources they did. It reminds them of the opportunities they didn't take and they actually build resentment against you.
