“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.

Steve Ramona Doing Business with a Servant's Heart

Steve Ramona discovered his calling at a young age and is now on a mission to share his secret sauce for success. He thrives on forging meaningful connections, sharing referrals, and watching people flourish.

His contagious passion for the Law of Increase makes his podcast "Doing Business with a Servant's Heart" so successful. This show is chock-full of inspiring stories about overcoming challenges and serving others.

Steve has a knack for spreading good vibes and elevating those around him. He learned from his dad that the entrepreneurial spirit is a great way to make money. I can share stories of how people serve, struggle and win. We all must overcome something, so why not learn to serve and overcome it much faster? I learned early working in our Health Club the importance of customer service. I learned that the more I served it was a win-win for everyone. I enjoy working with people, referring people, and helping people grow. The Law of Increase is my mission when I network around the world.

I love to mentor business people and offer all the resources I have. To win, you must grow yourself first; then, you can share this with others! I am an avid reader and have built a large book directory on sharing with others.
