Listen "Episode 47: “Entrepreneurship ” Is An Ideology About How We Relate To Each Other That Rarely Delivers On What We Are Reaching For"

Episode Synopsis

Professor Robert Eberhart has performed at the frontier of academics, government, entrepreneurship, and business over the course of his long career as an innovator. What interests him most is “reversing the arrow,” by which he means to understand how the cultural phenomenon that we call entrepreneurship is changing the way we relate to each other. He is striving through his scholarly work, corporate board work, and government service to respond to the incredible appetite that we have for change when we express a desire for entrepreneurialism–and to satisfy that appetite with something much more real and enduring than the myth of the heroic individualist can deliver. In this inspiring talk, Robert describes what he sees as possible, and what it will take to get there.
