The Startup Entrepreneur Market Launch Podcast: Recent Episodes
Erik
So many people can relate to my story of graduating college and realizing that I made a HUGE MISTAKE when choosing my future career. I was stuck, having invested nearly one hundred thousand dollars in my education... What do I do now? Nearly 20 years ago, I was able to escape my 9-5 engineering job to follow my dreams of being an entrepreneur, and this show is about helping professionals navigate the road of entrepreneurship and use their life experiences to create the businesses of their dreams and gain their financial freedom. In this show, we are going to talk about entrepreneurship as it relates to finding purpose and meaning through our hard-won experiences, how to best leverage those gifts to build a business from the ground up, and how to launch the business of your dreams.
When people hear that I am an entrepreneur the first question they ask me is "isn't that risky"?
It is an interesting question, and the truth is, there is risk in starting and running your own business... but working a 9-5 job also holds its own risks.
In this episode, we explore the fallacy that holding a regular job is any risker than being an entrepreneur.

I am walking into my first day on the job as an engineer and I instantly realized… I don’t belong here. I am panicking!
What the heck did I just do?! I just spent nearly $100k on my education. I remember my parents telling me “go to college so I could get a good job”, so that is exactly what I did.
I didn’t know what an engineer did, all I knew was they made a lot of money.
And now here I am…what do I do?
I am trapped with nowhere to go. Stuck in a career that I know isn’t right for me.
So many people can relate to my story and are feeling stuck on a career path that doesn't feel authentic to them, and who are searching for an escape through entrepreneurship.
Nearly 20 years ago, I was able to escape my 9-5 engineering job to follow my dreams of being an entrepreneur, and now I want to help people follow their dreams.
