After nine years in hustle culture, the speaker argues online entrepreneurship offers work freedom, even if it fails. His high school friend's collapsed business led to becoming CMO of a major App Store app, proving failed attempts still beat not trying.
I remember even back in my day, people would call me an old head 'cause, you know, I've been doing this for 9 years. But I mean, there were people before that. You have to think back in my day, there was the Gary Vees and, you know, those type of individuals that it was grind, grind, grind, grind, grind. I definitely fell into that, but I am 100% a proponent of anybody going out there and trying to do their online stuff, have success, you know, have, you know, some kind of freedom in their work. I don't think it's for everybody, but I do think everybody can have some kind of freedom, whether it is through their job or it is through some kind of business that they start. I had a friend, great friend from high school that went off and tried to do business stuff and his business has never worked out, but he's the CEO, CMO, apology, does marketing for one of the biggest apps in the App Store. I won't get into it, but yeah. So I think even if you're, you know, self-improving and wanting to own a business and you don't get that goal, you're still gonna land at a much better spot than you probably would've been without ever trying.
