EP 1 | The Constitutional Entrepreneur

Dear Patriots and Thought Leaders,

What is a Constitional Entrepreneur

This episode is particularly special as it features a dynamic conversation with Ryan, an entrepreneur turned political candidate, and Josh, who brings his own insightful perspectives to the table. Here are the key takeaways from our discussion:

The Entrepreneurial Mindset in Politics
Ryan's Bold Assertion: Elected officials who have never owned a business should not dictate how entrepreneurs operate. This statement resonated deeply with a crowd of a thousand entrepreneurs in Dallas, Texas, earning a standing ovation.
Problem-Solving Approach: Entrepreneurs wake up each day with the understanding that their success depends on their ability to solve problems and create value, a mindset that is often missing in traditional political circles.

Defining a Constitutional Entrepreneur
Foundational Principles: Ryan believes that the United States was founded by entrepreneurs and that the principles embedded in the Constitution reflect an entrepreneurial spirit essential for the country's success.
Disconnect in Governance: There is a growing gap between elected officials and the realities faced by entrepreneurs, leading to decisions that may not always support business growth and innovation.

Historical Context and Modern Implications
Framers as Entrepreneurs: The framers of the Constitution were primarily entrepreneurs who understood the stakes involved in their decisions. This entrepreneurial mindset was prevalent during the founding era.
Shift in Landscape: Today, a small percentage of the population owns businesses, while the majority are employees. Despite this shift, the entrepreneurial spirit remains a driving force in the U.S. economy.

Impact of Constitutional Principles on Entrepreneurship
Risk of Erosion: Ryan warns that when constitutional principles come under attack, the very fabric of the nation is at risk. Increased regulations and restrictions could stifle innovation and growth.
Stable Environment: Entrepreneurs rely on a stable and supportive environment to thrive, and any departure from foundational values could redefine what it means to be American.

Insights from Political Experience
Financial Decisions: Critical discussions often revolve around how taxpayer money is allocated, reflecting the values of both individuals and governments.
Disconnect in Perspectives: There is often a disconnect between the perspectives of entrepreneurs and those who have not owned businesses, leading to conflicting ideas about investment and priorities.

The Importance of Personal Development
Continuous Growth: Ryan emphasizes the importance of personal development among elected officials. Those who prioritize personal growth are better equipped to lead effectively.
Law of the Lid: An individual's level of influence is directly related to their personal growth. Elected officials who focus on developing their skills can create a more positive impact on their communities and the nation.

A Vision for the Future
Community of Constitutional Entrepreneurs: Ryan envisions a community of individuals who are proud to be American and committed to upholding the principles that have made the country great.
Challenging Thinking: By fostering discussions around these topics, we aim to challenge the thinking of both entrepreneurs and elected officials, encouraging them to consider the long-term implications of their decisions.

Stay tuned, stay engaged, and let's continue to champion the spirit of the constitutional entrepreneur.
