Episode notes

There are different types of entrepreneurs, some who enjoy the freedom and lack of structure that starting a business without a boss provides, while others appreciate the sense of accomplishment and level of responsibility that comes with being a founder.
Those who are highself-esteem and conformist tend to be the ones who are the most unhappy with their businesses, as they feel like they are constantly trying to outdo their peers.

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.
