In this brief dialogue, two speakers discuss whether entrepreneurship can be taught or is an innate trait. Speaker B argues that everyone starts as a "clean sheet of paper" and that belief systems are shaped in early childhood. They suggest that having go‑getter parents, growing up in scarcity, or experiencing harsh environments such as bullying can instill a drive to succeed, often described as a "chip on your shoulder." This drive, when contrasted with encounters with people who are not in scarcity, fuels the desire for more and can motivate entrepreneurial behavior. The conversation frames entrepreneurship as largely a product of early life conditions rather than a fixed natural talent.

Do you think that you can be taught to be an entrepreneur, or do you think it is something that you naturally have in you?
No, I definitely believe everyone is born like a clean sheet of paper. Okay. And the way you create your belief systems and everything happens in your early ages. So if your parents has something in them as a go-getter, or if you are especially born and raised in scarcity.
Yeah.
And you meet people who is not in scarcity, I think you get this drive of wanting more. Or if you are raised in a very harsh environment where you maybe get bullied you have something to prove. Yes. Right, you know, watching.
Chip on your shoulder.
Right?
Yeah.
I believe that can grow into an entrepreneur. It can either go both ways. Either you can get broken by it or you can get wildly driven by it.
