Podcasts by Archive 2 of Momentum for the Entrepreneurial Personality Type (EPT)
This podcast is for those us who think different. While the rest of the world strives for average and clings to the status quo, we are compelled to go forward and make things better. We have been told to sit down, slow down and change our behavior for most of our lives. Our kids are being bullied in schools, diagnosed with disorders given permanent labels at alarmingly high rates. Each us has felt different, isolated, and alone. The Entrepreneurial Personality Type will prove to you that you were not alone and there is nothing wrong with you...
And you are part of the most important club in history.
Entrepreneurs are the only consistent source of positive human evolution and we always will be.
