Entrepreneur Or Employee: Which One Fits You Right Now?

Gwen Bortner and Tonya Kubo tackle a question many people are quietly asking: should you actually be an entrepreneur, or would you be happier (and better supported) as an employee right now? Together, they unpack the cultural myth that entrepreneurship is somehow more honorable than having a job, and how this belief pushes many capable people into building businesses that do not align with their natural abilities or values. Gwen and Tonya also get candid about the ways they have both wrestled with this question themselves, and they break down what tends to separate “true entrepreneurs” from business owners and operator-types. This episode is for anyone who has been feeling the weight of running a business and wondering whether they are doing it wrong – or whether they are simply trying to force a square peg into someone else’s round hole.
