Short transcript of a conversation (Joe Polish and another speaker) exploring whether people are psychologically suited for entrepreneurship. They discuss that only a small fraction of Americans have the psychological makeup to be entrepreneurs, describe entrepreneurship as often arising from necessity/resourcefulness, and criticize the current cultural 'fetishization' of entrepreneurship.

How did you get in entrepreneurship? Was your original question.
An accident?
In a lot of ways. You know, I was broke. I needed to figure out something. I took whatever option was in front of me. I did the best I can with limited resources and limited skills. But entrepreneurs.
Are resourceful, and that's why.
1 out of 20Americans.
Have the psychological makeup to be an entrepreneur.
And right now, we're.
Fetishizing entrepreneurship. You know, I'm friends with Gary Vaynerchuk. I've done interviews with him. I'm friends with Tim Ferriss. I'm friends with some of the top marketers on the planet. And there's.
This whole fetishization.
Of entrepreneurship.
And honestly, a lot of people are.
Not built to be entrepreneurs.
