Entrepreneurs Discover Carpentry Diploma Cures Imposter Syndrome

It seems the elusive cure for imposter syndrome, long believed to be an incurable blight on the self-actualized, disruptive entrepreneur, has been found. And it’s not another pricey "mastermind" retreat or a self-help guru's latest manifesto. No, a recent surge of successful, yet perpetually insecure, startup founders have discovered the profound, almost spiritual, relief offered by... a carpentry diploma.

Apparently, the simple act of transforming raw lumber into a sturdy bookshelf, a demonstrable skill acquired through good old-fashioned vocational training, provides a tangible sense of accomplishment utterly lacking from merely conceptualizing a new crypto-NFT-metaverse platform. One can, it seems, point to a perfectly mitered joint and say, "I made that," rather than vaguely gesturing towards a rapidly depreciating blockchain asset and mumbling about "value proposition."

The implication is clear: perhaps a four-year degree in "innovative thought leadership" is less effective at solidifying one’s self-worth than knowing how to properly use a hacksaw. Our new titans of industry may finally achieve peace of mind, one perfectly sanded plank at a time. The future of venture capital may well involve a mandatory workshop safety course.
