A speaker argues that staying in a misaligned 9-to-5 job for 20 to 30 years carries more risk than starting a business or creating digital products.

People are like, man, being an entrepreneur and doing digital products is such a risk. And I'm like, a risk? Do you realize what risk you're already taking right now? You're working a 9-to-5 job and a job that you don't really feel called to. For those who don't feel called and they're like, man, I feel confined in this, it's because you're an entrepreneur and you're going to sit there and you're going to hate your job. You're going to have to spend 40 hours a week away from the people you love in a building you don't want to be at while you're also paying off the loan for a school that taught you something that you can't even use now. And so you're frustrated and you believe you can do that for 20, 25, 30 years. That's the risk.
