Are you building your business or imitating someone else's?

In this bold episode of the Scale You Podcast, we’re joined by Sid Mohasseb, famously known as the “Entrepreneur Philosopher.”

A 2x TED speaker, bestselling author, and advisor to Fortune 500 leaders, Sid is on a mission to help entrepreneurs break free from the noise and build with intention.

We unpack what it really means to lead with authenticity, why copying success won’t create fulfillment, and how to reconnect with your own entrepreneurial voice.

Sid also shares powerful insights from his global movement, Anabasis Academy, and what it takes to evolve—not just once—but again and again as a founder.

This one’s a must-listen if you’ve ever felt like you’re chasing someone else’s version of success.
