Latka: The idea that anyone can be an entrepreneur is total bullshit
“I, you know, that book left such a bad taste in my mouth because I feel like it teaches, it tells you like, hey, if you follow these little post-it notes and these diagrams, anybody can be an entrepreneur, which is total bullshit.”

Latka: The Lean Startup falsely claims anyone can be an entrepreneur
“I just feel like it tries to teach, because they have to sell more books, it tries to tell anyone they can be an entrepreneur if they have a blank canvas and some post-it notes, and everyone can't be an entrepreneur. It just doesn't work.”
