Listen "BENDing Rules -- Today we break down the last 4-5 guest and look for patterns on what they had to share. Further, answer work-life-balance questions, like are entreps more happy than non-entreps? "
Episode Synopsis
Intro: While it's great to have so many interviews with entrepreneurs, Eric and I thought it might be good to look back and summarize the last 4-5 guest on the podcast. Where do we see patterns? What's unique to each personality and/or journey? We are calling the "break-out" session and hope to do some of this reflecting/summarizing from time-to-time.
2:00 -- Who should be included in the definition of an entrepreneur?
4:17 -- Main takeaways from previous interviews
11:16 -- Patterns and traits of successful entrepreneurs
23:01 -- Why optimism matters
31:52 -- Are entrepreneurs more happy that non-entrepreneurs (employees), generally speaking?
36:25 -- A downside to entrepreneurship
43:51 -- Balance of optimism vs rationality
52:51 -- Role of craziness for entrepreneurs
Next week: join guest and co-host, Chris Capdevila, who was a guest the other week, and, the gentlemen that sold his company to Oracle, as we dialogue with Ian Olsen, co-founder of a large restaurant chain, that was ultimately financed by Blackrock, a PE firm. Learn about his journey, as well as what he's up to now.
