Illusions of Entrepreneurship, Scott Shane
Why are there so few women entrepreneurs? Is that why we see so few women angel investors?
How well do black entrepreneurs fare in this country? What role should public agencies, like the SBA, have in promoting entrepreneurship? The Kauffman Foundation, what illusions do they have?
The answers in Scott Shane's new book, The Illusions of Entrepreneurship may surprise you.
Before you listen to the interview, take Scott's Entrepreneurship Quiz; very likely, your score will increase your motivation to explore the myths and illusions behind entrepreneurship.

Frank,
One of your best interviews to date. Scott is real and provides an no nonsense look on how what pitfalls many startups go through.
Keep it up!

For your information I forwarded your podcast re: The Illusions of Entrepreneurship to the Chancellor's Office in Sacramento; they in turn sent it out to all the SBDC Center Directors in California, which is about 36 people.
By the way, thanks so much for your participation at the TriTech Deal Review on Monday. I hear you were fantastic as usual.
