About this episode
In this bite-sized Mentor Moment, Seán Brett shares the raw, real start of his entrepreneurial journey - leaving school at 14 after being misunderstood for dyslexia and ADHD, and turning that experience into creativity, resilience, and a relentless drive to build a better life.Seán breaks down why “non-traditional” beginnings can become an advantage, how early selling teaches you more than any classroom, and why understanding people - not just products - is at the heart of business.For the full conversation with Seán (and why it became a listener favourite), listen to Episode 419 of The Entrepreneur Experiment.Check out our sponsors:Nostra: https://bit.ly/nostra26Azure: https://bit.ly/azure26 Rory’s Travel Club: https://bit.ly/rorys26Chartered Capital: https://bit.ly/49ZuFrk
