Intrapreneur vs Entrepreneur: Which One Are You Really?


Listen Later

In this Post Shift Shot, Shawn Soole breaks down a hard truth in modern hospitality: not everyone is built to be an entrepreneur — and that’s not a weakness.

With the rise of “cool entrepreneurship,” social media has glamorized ownership and independence. But the reality? Entrepreneurship is risk, stress, sleepless nights, and long-term uncertainty. Meanwhile, intrapreneurs — those who innovate and lead inside existing companies — are often the real engines of growth.

This episode challenges you to ask: Are you chasing a title… or playing to your strengths?


🧠 What This Shot Covers

• The real difference between intrapreneurs and entrepreneurs

• Why social media has distorted what entrepreneurship actually looks like

• The power of being a high-level intrapreneur inside a strong company

• How self-awareness is more valuable than ego

• Why building something great doesn’t always mean owning it


🎯 Who It’s For

Bartenders, managers, operators, creatives, and anyone feeling the pressure to “go out on their own” — even if that might not be their highest-impact lane.


🔥 The Core Question

Are you wired to build the ship…

or are you wired to make the ship sail faster than anyone else?

Both matter. One just requires brutal honesty.
