As someone wanting to start a company but has ZERO safety net, I think about this often. I grew up poor and don’t have a circle of wealthy Friends & Family. If I fail, no one can bail me out or help support my kids. Taking risk is a privilege.https://twitter.com/orangebook_/status/1236296122739691523 …

I’ve done it...lost the apartment, moved in with my family to help with my son, eventually raised money. Would do it all again and we’re still just getting started. It’s not easy, has unique challenges, and may not work out but it’s better than the alternative.
Congrats! Stories like yours are the reason why I can’t stand this argument. Your boldness proves my point. Hope you’re doing well and it’s working!
