## Resource

Why do we say we want innovators… but still reward rule followers? In this episode, we are joined by Patrick Lim, CEO of ACE.SG , and Ezekkious Loo, YSEALI Fellow; Winner of FY25 POL-ITE Entrepreneurs Challenge, to dive into a fascinating paradox: Young people are building projects, joining startup competitions, and launching side hustles earlier than ever, yet many of them still don’t see themselves as entrepreneurs. So what actually creates a builder mindset ? Is it something you're born with… or something that can be developed through experience? In this conversation, we explore how curiosity, experimentation, and even failure can spark the mindset that turns employees into builders and thinkers who act like founders. But the real question is: Are our schools and workplaces truly creating space for this mindset to grow? --- 🎧 The Financial Coconut: Your weekly source for empowering financial knowledge and unlocking possibilities.
