(posted 2025-11-10) containing a short monologue/advice segment on entrepreneurship. A single speaker (labelled SPEAKER A) discusses starting a business, emphasizing that founders often must work long hours (e.g., ~67 hours/week), the importance of liking the work, accepting that some tasks will be unpleasant initially, and that hiring to cover disliked tasks becomes possible as cash flow improves.

Do I need to like the field that I'm starting a business in? Imagine if you're putting 67 hours a week and you just don't like what you're doing. If you're just starting a business, you might need to put that many hours. So you have to like what you're doing, basically. There's certain aspects of a business that you're not going to like. Over time, as you have better cash flow, you can hire to help in those areas. But initially, especially if cash is tight, you have to do everything.
