From Setback to Purpose: Why Leadership Starts with Who, Not Why
…

We’ve all heard that great leaders “start with why.” But what if that’s not enough? What if the real key to success isn’t why—but who? My guest, Steve Waddell, believes that true leadership transformation begins with understanding who you serve and who you are at your core. As the founder of Nasoni, he started with a simple problem—making it easier to rinse your mouth at the sink. But in the process, he uncovered a much deeper mission—one that would change lives.
Steve’s entrepreneurial journey has been filled with resilience and grit. Just as he was preparing to launch his MVP, a 25% tariff on Chinese imports wiped out his entire $50,000 marketing budget overnight. Instead of folding, he adapted, proving that the right mindset—not just the right idea—determines success. In this episode, we dive into why starting with who builds stronger businesses, deeper connections, and a leadership style that leaves a lasting impact. Don't miss this conversation with a true visionary.
