Alex,
A very inspiring podcast (I’ve listened to it twice now). Michael Gerber provides a deep and more profound than usual perspective on what it means to be an entrepreneur. One of the best smallbizpods so far.
Great stuff, thanks and keep up the good work.

Hi Robert, thanks for the comment, much appreciated. Michael certainly provides one of the most passionate and thought-provoking interviews I’ve had the pleasure to record for SmallBizPod.
Alex, thanks for this great interview with Michael Gerber. As a student of business development, Michael Gerber has been an inspiration to me for a number of years. I found this interview to be one of the best discussions of his personal internal motivation that I have ever heard. I greatly enjoyed Michael Gerber and the book The E-Myth Revisited and find this new book, Awakening The Entrepreneur Within equally exciting.
The comment, “The entrepreneur invents the worldâ€, brings to mind the current first time effort among more than 60 countries to establish Global Entrepreneurship Week in November of this year. I will point people to this interview as much as I can so that it can be an inspiration to young people across the world to face the challenge of their dreams and not to be frozen by the fear of loss.
