Entrepreneurship is much more than a difficult word to say, and it comes in a variety of different forms. In the media today notable entrepreneurs such as Andrew Yang and Elon Musk grace headlines, but what makes an entrepreneur? The truth is that there is no standard for path on how to become an entrepreneur. For Phil McCarthy, the entrepreneurial spirit is part of his lifestyle and the result of a culmination of learning experiences, he calls ingredients.
Recently declared an Entrepreneur in Residence at the University of Denver, currently McCarthy works as the Director of Operations for 3D Lacrosse Colorado. Entrepreneurs are required to wear many hats, this is no clearer evidenced than through the various projects McCarthy has in motion at all times. McCarty is also head study Director of Failure Research on Athletes at Columbia University. While doing this he maintains being a professor of entrepreneurship at DU and running his blog on the athletic approach to life athelete2lifelite.com.
“Some of [what I do] doesn’t seem very entrepreneurial, but to an entrepreneur, it all relates. You can see the patterns in how they relate,” explained McCarthy as he connected the dots of his current works.
