Arthur says, “I think part of the entrepreneurial journey in our country is that everyone thinks it is so damn easy. The success stories we’ve read about. The billion dollar exits that are so far and few between. I think it’s disillusioning when they see that, because this is a blood, sweat and tears industry to build something.”
