Join me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), as I interview Trenton Hughes (https://x.com/trentjhughes)! Trenton has multiple successful exits under his belt and the founder of TRIBE, a peer group for entrepreneurs. We dive deep into why so many people are getting into entrepreneurship but often don't even know what game they're playing, which can be detrimental to their success.

Trenton has identified four distinct types of entrepreneurship, which he frames as "Geos". We explore what each type truly means, from Main Street and Silicon Valley to Austin and Tomorrowland, and discuss why understanding your entrepreneurship type is critical for finding your lane and optimizing for your unique goals, whether that's chasing freedom, seeking VC funding, or leveraging new tech like AI.
