Entrepreneur Builds a Trusted HR Support Alternative (Full Transcript)
[00:00:03] Speaker 1: My dad is an entrepreneur. My whole life, I have watched a person that I love dearly take an idea, nothing, and turn it into 20 some odd years of providing for his family, taking his kids on vacation, buying us the latest and greatest. That's the only perspective that I had growing up. Like we were not sitting around the dinner table talking about the company Christmas party. The delusion of entrepreneurship is that you don't know if anybody else will want to join in your little slice. And in my case, when I left and started my own business, a lot of people wanted to join my world. My company is called Workolution Inc. If nobody trusts human resources, where are they going for support? The answer to that question we found was nowhere. I feel like I worked so hard. Yeah. And it comes from a really pure place of just wanting to help other people. This is just confirmation that I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. Being a solo entrepreneur, I have the ability to create my own reality. And for me, that's everything.

- Workolution Inc. was created to address a perceived lack of trusted support for people who do not feel comfortable relying on HR.
- The speaker views helping others as the central, sincere motivation behind their work.
- Solo entrepreneurship provides the speaker with autonomy and the ability to create a life and business aligned with their values.
