Thoughts on the Current Status of Entrepreneurship

On September 14, 2021, I sat down with my old friend Dr. Peter Hirst for a LinkedIn Live fireside talk on the current state of entrepreneurship as we transition out of the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic and where I think it is going in the future.

While I am asked to give talks on this topic frequently, I particularly enjoyed this one because of the interactive format and Peter Hirst deft moderating. It is always fun to take questions from the audience which surpassed 2,000 live. So, while it is 57 minutes long, you can listen to it as a podcast while you are driving or working out at 1.5x speed and get the information.

COVID has made having an entrepreneurial mindset, skillset, and way of operating more important than ever but it is also changing it in fundamental ways. Without further ado, you can watch the whole event below. While I will take positions and have opinions on things, I don’t profess to be right all the time and would love to hear other perspectives in the comments section so we all can learn and get closer to the truth.

If you have thoughts on this, I’d love to hear them—use the comments section below!
