<p>Every discussion of entrepreneurship is really a discussion about values. Today, we'll follow up on last week's episode, where we began a discussion of entrepreneurship by resetting that idea — by challenging the story of entrepreneurship. We contrasted the protagonist — the hero CEO — with the reality of who we are. And we contrasted the plot — the capitalistic, meritocratic variant of the hero's journey — with the meandering serendipity of our lives' paths. But dismantling one story doesn't write ours for us. And so that's where we'll pick up today — with how we begin — by identifying, examining, and ordering our values so that they may serve as a foundation for the creative and productive lives we build upon them…</p><br><p><strong>Music</strong></p><p>All music used in this episode is independently produced and licensed by Design Tomorrow for non-commercial use.</p><ul><li><em>Di Breun</em>, by <a href="https://www.sessions.blue/" target="_blank">Blue Dot Sessions</a></li><li><em>Drip Hop Modular Beats</em>, by <a href="https://rbeny.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">r beny</a></li><li><em>Oriel</em>, by <a href="https://www.sessions.blue/" target="_blank">Blue Dot Sessions</a></li><li><em>The Snowgard</em>, by <a href="https://www.sessions.blue/" target="_blank">Blue Dot Sessions</a></li><li><em>Crosswire</em>, by <a href="https://www.sessions.blue/" target="_blank">Blue Dot Sessions</a></li><li><em>Li Fonte</em>, by <a href="https://www.sessions.blue/" target="_blank">Blue Dot Sessions</a></li><li><em>E2 Ambient X</em>, by <a href="https://rbeny.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">r beny</a></li></ul><p><strong>Credits</strong></p><p>Design Tomorrow is produced by Chris Butler at the Tomorrow office in Durham, NC.</p><br><p>You can follow the show on Twitter @<a href="http://www.twitter.com/dsgntmrrw" target="_blank">dsgntmrrw</a>.
