It All Begins With a Purpose. Alex Sanfilippo

Many people start a business because they want to make money. That's understandable, but if you want your business to be successful, it's crucial that you first identify what is most important to you.   Our next guest is Alex Sanfilippo, the host of the top-rated entrepreneurship podcast, Creating a Brand, and the founder of PodMatch.com, a free service that matches podcast guests and hosts together for interviews. After years of working in different industries, Alex decided to return to his first love of entrepreneurship. From building a globally ranked Christian multi-author blog, to traveling around the United States speaking and coaching people who want to start their own business, Alex has made it a priority to add value to people's lives in many ways.    The Money You Should Ask Team loves using Alex's PodMatch service so much that we just had to get him on the show.   Bob and Alex discuss some key topics that sometimes get overlooked when starting your own business.   [5:11] Learning to manage money at 12 years old.
