In this brief exchange, Speaker A argues that most people should not own a business, emphasizing the need for traditional employees (“worker bees”). Speaker A cites a personal example—his wife—who tried self‑employment, disliked it, and chose a full‑time job instead. Speaker B concurs, reinforcing the stance that entrepreneurship is not suitable for the majority.
And most people shouldn't do this.
They really shouldn't.
Yeah, most people shouldn't own a business because— I agree. Yeah, it's— we need worker bees. We do. Like, it's— my, my wife actually is a perfect example of that. She did not like being self-employed. Yeah, she hated it. And I was like, ah, come on, it's gonna be fun. But no, she didn't like it. So she has full-time job.
Yeah, she loves that, which I feel like there's times where I feel the same way. Literally, like, I don't know if you ever do this anymore. So I hit that wall and I was like, okay, how can I increase the customer experience and also start partially removing and delegating things to somebody else within the team so that I don't necessarily have to spend all the hours? Like editing podcasts, I think we're running 4 or 5 shows right now weekly. I could not do that. That's literally what Naomi and Case do every day. And so like, how can we make more money but not require more time from me? Yeah, because— and that's just with everything now. That's the decision that I'm trying to make every time I have a new idea. It's like, can— like you're saying, will this make money? Can I delegate it? Is it going to require 20 hours a week from me?
