Featuring bold conversations and expert guests who are reshaping how business and wealth are built.

This is where the new era begins.
Welcome to The Business Rebellion.

Most founders think they hate sales.

The pushy calls. The scripts. The pressure.

But what they actually hate is manipulation, and they have spent years assuming the two are the same thing.

In this conversation, Kerrie McGilvray sits down with Pete Solway, founder of Founder Sales Solutions, to unpack what ethical, grounded sales actually looks like for value led founders who feel more discomfort here than anywhere else in their business. The discussion challenges one of the most common beliefs founders carry. That selling means becoming someone you don’t want to be. The reality is that the founders who sell best aren’t performing. They’re having honest conversations and walking away when it isn’t a fit.

Influence educates. Manipulation corners. The difference is whether you are asking or telling
If you can walk away when it isn’t a fit, you keep your integrity and your reputation intact
Sales is not a performance. It is an act of service, closer to advising than pitching
Hiring your first salesperson is one of the hardest sales jobs there is. Most founders skip the foundations
You don’t fix sales discomfort by avoiding it. You get in the gym and build the muscle

This episode reframes what selling actually looks like for founders who have been quietly avoiding it. It isn’t about becoming more persuasive or learning better closes. It is about putting simple parameters in place so you can sell with integrity, protect your reputation, and realise that the thing you have been dreading is closer to helping than convincing.

If sales makes you feel like you have to become someone you’re not,

and you have been trying to hire your way out of doing it,

this is the conversation worth sitting with.
