Simon Squibb: Money is Not as Important as You Think | The Business Growth Podcast

What really matters in business and life - money, purpose, or freedom?

In this episode of The Business Growth Podcast, Simon Squibb shares the raw truth behind his entrepreneurial journey. From starting his first business at 15 to building, selling, and investing in over 100 companies, Simon brings decades of wisdom. But he insists: “Money is not as important as you think.”

Simon opens up about the biggest misconceptions entrepreneurs face:

Why most people believe you need money to make money, and why that belief is wrong.

How limiting beliefs, often shaped by education and society, stop people from taking risks.

Why purpose and freedom should come before profit.

He also unpacks his mission to fix the broken education system and why teaching financial literacy, creativity, and resilience matters more than traditional classroom learning. As Simon puts it: “School taught me nothing about money, but debt taught me everything.”

You’ll also hear Simon’s take on AI, the future of work, and why owning your time is the ultimate wealth. This is more than a conversation about business growth - it’s a roadmap for redefining success on your own terms.

Whether you’re a start-up founder, an experienced CEO, or someone questioning the way society defines success, Simon’s insights will challenge the way you think.
