We all are born with greatness and creativity within ourselves. Although we might believe that it fades away with time, that does not mean we have to give up. Today, my guest is someone who challenges himself to get out there and serve the world in the best way he thinks he can. He started his first business at the age of 10 by selling used golf balls in his neighborhood. He is the creator of PodMatch, a website that helps podcasters and guests to find each other, which he started when COVID hit in March 2020. Alex Sanfilippo, a writer, speaker, podcaster, and entrepreneur, joins us for today's episode to share his wisdom on how he explores growing a business through brand and community.

Alex's Story - Alex starts the conversation with his story of discovering his entrepreneur mindset at a very young age and how it affected him as an adult.

Failures Hurt – Failures are inevitable. However, as Alex says, failures can not stop us if we accept them as lessons and learn from them.

Time to Shift – Sometimes, we do not have to continue the work for the sake of starting. We may need to shift the journey. Alex emphasizes gaining views from others' perspectives in such occurrences.

Open up –  Sharing your journey with others makes you more humble. Other than that, opening up yourself and your entrepreneur journey may inspire someone out there. Alex believes such transparency even can bring you your next customer sometimes.

Solve the Problem  - Alex highlights the necessity of finding the solutions for a problem. He shares the story behind the PodMatch as an example for it.

Get More Done by Doing Less – Alex states that getting more done by doing less is about learning the right work to do instead of getting all the job done. 

Have Three Filters – Alex talks about three filters for our tasks named automate, delegate, or eliminate to achieve the best for yourself other than staying as good.
