He Said 'What to Sell' Is Not Even the Right Question

What if the most important question in business isn't what to sell, but something else entirely? In this episode, Sean sits down with Meir Simhi, an entrepreneur and mentor whose thinking on business fundamentals challenges some of the most common assumptions founders make. Meir shares why chasing respect is the fastest way to lose it, and why simply being valuable is what keeps people in your corner long after the first impression fades. He also reveals why "what to sell" is not even the right starting point for building a business, and what you should be asking instead. Whether you are just starting out or rethinking your direction, this conversation will shift how you see the relationship between identity, value, and entrepreneurial success.
