Guy Raz, known for his popular NPR podcast How I Built This, spoke about Mormons recently on The Tonight Show. The popular late night talk show shared a video of Guy explaining why Mormons make such good entrepreneurs.

“If you are an entrepreneur and you’ve got this idea, you might go to 1000 people and 900 of them will say…I’m not interested in investing…and you have to be able to hear “No” again and again and again.”

“Believe it or not, a lot of Mormons have developed this skill,” Guy told Jimmy.
