Hi all👋
Hope you are rallying up for the events heavy part of the year, I myself am excited to get back into the field and meet many of you both IRL and online.
This week I’ve been thinking about something that can feel… a bit uncomfortable to talk about:
Privilege.
Not in a theoretical way. But in a very personal one.
Because if you look closely, most of us have some version of it.
For some, it’s obvious. For others, it’s subtle.
Having access to education. Speaking English. Growing up around people who think big.
Having the option to take a risk.
None of these feel like privilege when you’re inside them.
They just feel… normal.
For example, I didn’t grow up speaking English.
I learned because my parents decided to invest in extra lessons after school. At the time, it didn’t feel like a big deal.
Looking back, it changed everything. It shaped the opportunities I had, the people I could learn from, and the environments I could be part of.
That’s privilege.
And instead of debating whether we have it or not, I think there’s a more useful stance:
Own your privilege.
Because privilege itself isn’t the problem.
What you do with it is.
In the entrepreneurship context, I tend to see two paths:
Entrepreneurship by necessity: People who are pushed into building because they have no other choice
Entrepreneurship by choice: People who choose to build because they can, because they have a safety net, because they’ve built skills that make them employable
If you’re in that second group, then you’re operating from a place of privilege.
And that changes the game.
It means you can take risks others can’t. It means you can try, fail, and try again. It means you can build, not just out of necessity, but out of intention.
So the question isn’t:
Do I have privilege?
A more useful question is:
What am I doing with it?
With that reflection, let’s continue to this week’s newsletter.
