Abstract

This article aims to analyze the narratives of the digital business infopreneur Iagor Gonçalves and reflect on the strengthening of the entrepreneurial ethos in the media discourses found in the posts on his Instagram profile. Using the Narrative Analysis presented by Jovchelovitch and Bauer (2008), the study shows how the influencer's spectacular inspirational narratives make his social network a motivational space that promotes the idea of accessible and successful entrepreneurship for everyone.
