In generally, I find that sometimes these "entrepreneurship forum" speakers do not actually have much start-up experience at all. They are just employees of the company who were hired to fill the top job. They take no personal risk in the failure or success in the business. So they wouldn't know much about the pain and effort in growing a business from scratch using their own funds.
Any comments?
