"Sales is the most honest form of teaching." — John Meese
📝Description:
What if sales isn't manipulation — it's the most honest form of teaching? John Meese, author of the new book Serve to Sell, joins Steve Ramona to dismantle everything icky about digital marketing and rebuild it around one idea: coaching people toward decisions that are genuinely in their best interest.
In this episode:
- Why John left a PhD track in economics to teach entrepreneurship as "practical economics"
- The "serve call" framework — why you should stop booking sales calls entirely
- Relationships > Results: the symbol John wrote on the edge of his desk (and why it's also an arrow)
- The heartbreaking story of a business with massive impact that died from no income — and why income and impact are inextricably intertwined
- John's superpower: reading the instructions nobody else reads, and turning the best business minds into step-by-step systems
- The Papua New Guinea story that will change how you think about giving, owing, and relationships forever
PS: Steve and John met five minutes before hitting record. No prep, no script — just two servant-hearted entrepreneurs who knew instantly they were "brothers from another mother." Sometimes the best episodes are the ones you don't plan.
