I'm an idea person and a talker.

"I'm an idea person and a talker. That combination adds up to what is often referred to as a 'wantrepreneur.' People that, you know, want the glory but don't want to put the work in. When I was a teenager, I remember my nan very abruptly saying, in no uncertain terms, 'Well, you just keep talking about it, but you never actually do anything about it.' And I'm sure she meant it in a nice way — although sometimes she said things more directly than you'd like. But that always spoke to me because I feel like it was a real trigger point, where I went, 'Oh, yeah, you're right. I need to actually do something because I do just keep talking about it.' And without that, I always wonder what might have happened. You know, if she had just kept patting me on the head and saying, 'That's good, dear. That's good, dear.' Would I have just ended up talking about it forever?"

      Would people pay to get their ideas shut down?
