    #12 Who You Are, Not What You Sell

    Every company knows what they sell. What’s harder to define sometimes is why? What motivates you beyond...money?  A great mission captures that reason behind why your business exists today. But it also leaves room for your company to aspire for more in the future. It can guide every single decision you make - whether you’re a business of one or one-thousand. In this episode we hear two very different businesses who have figured out how to present their company to the world and one that’s just starting out. This episode features: Andrew Linderman - founder of The Story Source David Malott  - co-founder of Space Factory David Riedel - co-founder of Space Factory Michael Bently - co-founder of Space Factory Tanya Moss - owner and founder of Tanya Moss jewelry Stephanie Shore - Chief Marketing Officer of Moo For tools and information about how to start or grow a business on eBay, visit ebay.com/openforbusiness.
