What Are You Good At: Outwork Everyone with Steven Haddad
About this episode
Jeff Gunsberg and I sat down with serial entrepreneur Steven Haddad—and the conversation went way deeper than business.
Here are 3 takeaways that stuck:
1 - Build from demand, not ego.
Steven's foundation was simple: listen first, then build. The most durable businesses aren't dreamed up—they're requested.
2- Work ethic beats pedigree. Every time.
From mopping floors at seven to leading multiple companies, nothing replaced showing up early, staying late, and doing the work others won't.
3 -Bet on people before numbers.
Fast returns are tempting. Builders are rare. Every lesson—good or painful—came down to who was in the room.
And at the center of it all was his dad, Sam—who built from nothing and passed down one rule that still drives everything:
You don't have to be smarter than everyone… but you can outwork anyone.
That's not just advice.
That's a blueprint.
