Episode 301. Selling your product from day one w/ Safeer Qureshi, angel investor and CEO at SPG Media
This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for anyone tired of overcomplicated business advice and ready to build something profitable, simple and real.
My guest is Safeer Qureshi, CEO at SPG Media, angel investor, and operator who has built companies across aviation, med-tech and AI by doing the opposite of what traditional business playbooks preach.
Safeer and I talk about why so much “classic” business advice is copy-paste noise, why founders cling to complexity and how focusing on profitability today creates more freedom than chasing valuations ever will. He breaks down why selling before you build works, how simplicity removes fear and why action beats five-year plans every single time. We also get into experience vs. education, why MBAs often teach the wrong lessons for early-stage founders and the one rule he hopes the next generation finally ignores: perfect your product before you sell it.
Tune in for a refreshing, no-nonsense look at building businesses that actually make money, and for Safeer’s simple question that every stuck entrepreneur needs to ask: what’s the fastest way to get a customer to pay me today?
