This is Michael Sible with Dalton Caldwell. Today we are talking about conformists versus non-conformists in the tech and startup world. Who would want to be an early employee at I mean and Justin TV? Non-conformist. They would never be, you know, a conformist would not be caught dead working in an early stage. It's been weird to witness what was previously a very weird place to go populated by weird people become almost the opposite of that.

What happens when the unconventional becomes conventional? Michael Seibel and Dalton Caldwell discuss how the startup world has changed from being dominated by outsiders and nonconformists to now attracting more mainstream conformists looking for status and money. They share stories of what the tech scene was like when they were in school - and how radically different it is today, while offering their advice around navigating a world that doesn't always reward nonconformists embarking on risky entrepreneurial journeys. Don't just think different, act different.
