Are Americans Only Entrepreneurs Out of Financial Desperation?

Is the American dream fueled by financial desperation? In this deep and provocative interview, Finnish CEO Juha Berghäll and American host Sean Weisbrot debate whether the high-stress, high-debt US system is the true engine of its entrepreneurial success. They contrast this with Finland's "prepaid" society, where giving birth costs about €50 and a world-class education is free, which provides safety but may stifle ambition. This is a must-watch for anyone interested in the societal forces that shape our lives, careers, and the very nature of innovation. Check out the company: https://www.oneio.cloud
