Is the American dream fueled by financial desperation? In this deep and provocative interview, Finnish CEO Juha Berghäll and American host Sean Weisbrot debate whether the high-stress, high-debt US system is the true engine of its entrepreneurial success. They contrast this with Finland's "prepaid" society, where giving birth costs about €50 and a world-class education is free, which provides safety but may stifle ambition. This is a must-watch for anyone interested in the societal forces that shape our lives, careers, and the very nature of innovation. Check out the company: https://www.oneio.cloud
