Entrepreneurship is often seen as a unique and special trait possessed by a select few individuals. Some people seem to have a natural inclination towards starting and running their own businesses, while others may not even consider it as a viable career option. This raises the question: is entrepreneurship something that you are born with, or is it something that can be developed over time? In this podcast episode, host Jason Portnoy interviews Mike Walker, an expert in business optimization and entrepreneurship. Walker shares his journey as an entrepreneur, starting from his childhood candy business. He discusses his passion for exchanging ideas, products, and services for money and helping others monetize their intellectual property. Walker also dives into the creative process of developing offers and businesses. He believes that most entrepreneurs have an innate drive, although it may be nurtured over time.
