Description

Do you ever get the feeling that a lot of people think owning a business is easy?Or that owning a business is THE thing to do right now?

And like so many other things we’re sold in the world of online business, that dream is faaaaaaar from reality for many business owners.  So, what gives?  In this episode, we’re diving into the Entrepreneurial Industrial Complex, including why so much of entrepreneurship is about identity and consumption, not actually doing business.
