Summary
In today's episode, we are reaching into the TMBA mailbag yet again and responding to some interesting questions and comments we've received from our listeners.
There is a word that gets tossed around in the entrepreneurial community, and it's actually something that is worn as a sort of badge of honor.
We see it on t-shirts and social media, and it's usually represented by entrepreneurs who have rejected working for an employer at a job where they held no equity.
But is it really a good thing to be "Unemployable?"
You'll hear our thoughts about that on today's episode, as well as some insight for people who have become frustrated by meet-ups and networking events that aren't providing enough value.
