In this interview excerpt, Speaker A observes that many successful entrepreneurs display addictive tendencies and wonders if they channel that energy into business ventures, such as software development. Speaker B affirms the observation and references Chapter 3 of his Wall Street Journal bestseller, Buy Back Your Time, which outlines the concept of the "5 Time Assassins"—behaviors that drain productivity. The brief exchange sets up a deeper discussion about how personal habits and psychological traits intersect with entrepreneurial success.

some of the most successful entrepreneurs have like addiction tendencies, but they found a way to like gear it towards like business, like you did with like software. I don't know, have you noticed that or am I just drawing unfair conclusions?
I love that you brought it up and I don't know if you're like queuing this up for me, but chapter 3 is the 5 Time Assassins. So this is my book, Buy Back Your Time, Wall Street Journal bestseller.
We can unpack that with all the authors.
5 Time Assassins. I open it up by talking about some research around chaos. What it turns out is that most entrepreneurs went through some difficulty between the ages of 9 to 13 years old. And the reason why is because they learned at a young age to deal with a disproportionate amount of uncertainty. So it turns out if you have the skill set of being able to deal with a large amount of uncertainty, that entrepreneurship fits you really well because that's the name of the game, right? Paychecks aren't guaranteed, customers aren't guaranteed, the future is not guaranteed. And for CEOs and founders, that's super normal.
