Does anyone who has successfully followed their passion project and has been financially successful as well provide some comments on this article? Is it just PG's way of luring in wannabe-enterpreneurs with words or does it hold some value? I am in no position to judge this since I am still working a day job.

There are plenty of ways of getting non-dilutive capital, PG just wants the blood-equity of young people that are beginning to wise up to being Transylvania’s cattle

You dont need to be young, you dont need to give up preferred shares to investors, and the real survivorship bias in this game are the entrepreneurs that can afford to try again multiple times on other startups in quick succession…. because they already have capital

Selling that dream to people excluded from that class while deflecting on what the survivors biases really are is how you know it’s a lure
