Episode notes
Early Hustles Taught Sales
- Kunal Shah sold mehendi cones and pirated CDs early in life to survive and learn sales skills.
- He intentionally priced and packaged differentiation to make products desirable and pushed them through stores.
Persuasion Trumps Raw Intelligence

- If you cannot explain or persuade, intelligence alone rarely converts into real-world impact.
Practice Persuasion Deliberately

- Deliberately practice asking for help and framing win-win requests instead of avoiding 'no.'
