“The Art of the Pitch” Copyright © 2016 Saren Sakurai
“People don’t buy what you do.
They buy what you believe.”
Simon Sinek, How Great Leaders Inspire Action (TEDxPuget Sound)

things differently. They are not fond of rules, and they have no
respect for the start
Here’s a WHY
“The Art of the Pitch” Copyright © 2016 Saren Sakurai
Simon Sinek, How Great Leaders Inspire Action (TEDxPuget Sound)
Apple’s Why is to disrupt the status quo.
Like these folks.
Notice any what’s or how’s here?
“The Art of the Pitch” Copyright © 2016 Saren Sakurai

challenging the status quo.
