In this episode, Scott Becker discusses the importance of respecting both the working class and entrepreneurs, recognizing that both are essential to a thriving economy.
Chapter 1: What is the focus of the podcast episode?
Chapter 2: How is the entrepreneur portrayed on Twitter/X?
This is Scott Becker with the Becker Private Equity and Business Podcast. Today's first podcast deals with the following concept, working nine to five and following Twitter slash X. So here's the deal. If you're on Twitter, X, excuse me, they romanticize the entrepreneur and the person who doesn't work to no end, almost to an obnoxious degree. And here's the deal.
Chapter 3: Why are nine-to-five workers considered the backbone of the country?
Chapter 4: What is the importance of respecting both workers and entrepreneurs?
I would say the backbone of our country is those that work. I use the phrase nine to five to reflect people that work, that have a job. And it doesn't have to be nine to five, of course. It doesn't matter what your hours are. People that work a job are the backbone of our country.
And, of course, entrepreneurs that help create a job and push the economy and bring creativity are really important, too. But the disdain for either class, the working class, the people that actually – Power America, or the entrepreneurial class, those that are creative entrepreneurs. The same for either class is completely misplaced. Both are critical to our nation and to everything that we do.
And this concept, if you read on Twitter, you would think that everybody that works a job for pay is a loser. And then once in a while, people get it, say like, even if you're an entrepreneur, most of us had to work a job first and earn a wage to learn what's going on in the world. But at the end of the day,
Great respect for those that punch a clock, those that work a job, those that do all the things that power our country. God bless them all. And of course, great respect for the entrepreneurial class as well. Thank you for listening to the Becker Private Equity and Business Podcast. Thank you very much for joining us today.
