Wow. Interesting perspective. Have you considered slicing that with the SmartView Chrome extension: chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/threelly-smartview-for-yo/dfohlnjmjiipcppekkbhbabjbnikkibo

[@brittlaspina]

Wonderful video!

[@onlineparadigms]

Great, Thank Brian :)

[@laurenpage3548]

So people who talk nonsense for a living congratulate other people who talk nonsense for a living on how well they do that...amazing.

[@tarmac5482]

I want to appreciate the interviewer. Greatly maneuvered and only asked to expand or clarify, not interrupting.

[@BehindtheBrand]

Thank you for noticing

[@stayingfocused2911]

Great technique

[@Whoever429]

“You can’t have motivation everyday, that’s why you need to have discipline” - it is my mantra when sometimes you feel like losing your passion

[@ericseinemudda9718]

You can't have justice even if you deserve it.

[@geenajones5447]

Wow

[@conlawmeateater8792]

Yes I know I have a passion in something then I used to put it away and start again. Now I have a different approach

[@kalvincalvert]

I FUCKING LOVE this guy, Simon Sinek. lovely peaceful and kind hearted gentlemen, looks great, acts better. just makes you feel good.

[@djtrump4101]

Watch your language, idiot.

[@Drew858pb]

Human encyclopedia and linguistic master, putting it in the most practical easy to comprehend terms. What a legend

[@HezOmanjo]

28:18 really hit home. I experienced this at my former workplace with the CFO - he had a lot of authority but was not a leader. In fact he spent most of his time orchestrating the breakdown of teams under his authority in the meantime claiming the prize for the overall performance of the function & collecting the largest bonuses. It gave me too much stress I'm glad I left. But I forgave him because I realized it must have been God's way of teaching me how not to be a leader. I now have my own company and leveraging on that experience.

[@maramhesham2147]

What he is saying is great but also HOW he is saying it, is amazing....His speaking skills are really great, he kept me listening and for someone like me to actually have attention is very rare :)

[@Hosh-id2lr]

Maram Hesham and why he says it is even better

[@JayTheRed8]

I love this guy, he manages to articulate everything so well.

[@danielmelese2690]

Simon is amazing. This is the guy who knows what he is talking about. Energetic and so articulative. More importantly, he is spreading great ideas so well.

[@kimtemplin1330]

I love this!! This talk is from 6 years ago.. way before The Infinite Game and it is exactly the concept he is talking about! Before he even came up with the concept for his book, Simon was teaching about playing the infinite game!! Wonderful!

[@gelineavenir5905]

I love listening to his talks, because. I together so much from it. Many talks out there are blurbs, none factual, one side analysis. He talks like "he's looking at a box from multiple angles, seeing it differently from each side", non-judge mental, just factual. He's a visionary, well-informed in politics, economy & subjects that concern us all. Effective in every way.

[@BehindtheBrand]

Geline Avenir thanks for watching!

[@carolynormsby]

I could just listen to you talk about purpose, trust and impact all day. I love your optimism and your insights on people. Thanks for continuing to share.

[@BehindtheBrand]

Agreed, thanks Carolyn.

[@bazulvazeer9878]

He is amazing

[@thedivineexpression]

Brian is hands down the best interviewer in the game. Always prepared, effective listener, and you can tell he's asking questions and responding based on what Simon Says. Stay encouraged!

[@svetlanalo3944]

They both did amazing work together! One has the quality of listen and the other can ability to share. It's extremly rare. I'd like it! By the way, guys, thanks for the opportunity to enjoyed the nice conversation!

[@tmm226]

Not only is Simon inspirational and smart, he sure is nice to look at.

[@oneofus6924]

he is strikingly handsome

[@shreyashah7430]

trueeee🤭

[@serdardincer2574]

He's totally NewGen. The posture, the energy, the piercing focus...He's just great.

[@BehindtheBrand]

thanks for watching!

[@dandelion1627]

I love these two guys. Simon is one of the best speakers and very inspirational. Brian is a great interviewer, listener, and very inspirational himself. Really enjoy this video.

[@BehindtheBrand]

Thanks!

[@janosd4nuke]

Got a bit of misshap with my 2nd covid shot; Decided to take a stroll in the city. Put this up as a podcast, with a talk in my mind from yesterday with my good friend, it gave me chills several times. Moving and inspiring and true. Loved it. Thanks

[@nancyfalcon2796]

I am a mid-level administrator with a state government agency working to help families create sustainable change, and I totally see how Simon's work fits into what I do...and why I do it.

[@brandoncampbell1144]

Here's proof his Ted talk speach was what 2009 so 8 almost 9 years later I just discovered this guy today already shared 3 of his speeches on facebook will definitely recommend videos of his talks in person to my close friends

[@claredodd1258]

Very very interesting and eye opening. The advice he gives at the end can apply to alot of situations in our lives not just business. It all comes down to trust. Trust in yourself and other people.

[@charactersofcharacterjonid51]

This man, Simon Sinek, YOU are just amazing, you speak my language, you speak volumes to entrepreneurs, you speak to society, you are truly a humble, sincere and empowering person and I thank you for sharing your journey, your experiences and your knowledge. YOU make a difference in the world we live in. Thank YOU.

[@khizarnawaz9665]

He got a special skill to connect with people . Great speaker

[@Vanessaartzone]

Simon Sinek. My new favourite person. I absolutely love the empathy speech. Amazing. Xxx

[@Apezz19]

Unfortunately thats not how the world we live in right now..it suppose to work as how Simon said but the ‘bosses’ afraid to run it that way..

[@MrOnlineGuides]

Not sure if any managers are reading this, but exactly what simon said is true. in a few places I work, the staff work better when the boss is away. Sometimes the boss dictates WHAT needs doing, HOW it is done, and even how you walk, stand, and may blow up in peoples faces if there is the slightest deviation. When the boss is in their face, they drag their feet. Noone wants to report a problem or admit they need help, and noone works together. Things end up taking longer. When the boss is away, it's great. We can work our way. People start to remember WHY they are in the business and take pride in their work. In one example, 2 weeks worth of work, was done in a week. We reached peak performance everytime that the people didnt have an angry boss dictating every aspect of their work.

[@HEIDIJVR6791]

I like that Simon is not a people pleaser. Hats off

[@BehindtheBrand]

thanks for watching

[@mustvid]

Funny that Simon is described as an optimist but his last name sounds like cynic. LOL. I really like Simon and think he is a wonderful speaker.

[@umutsamillionaire]

In Turkish Sinek means fly.

[@1sain_t]

Simon, you are so right. The only thing is that at the moment there are 99% of the other kind and only 1% of the long-term vision kinds. And I think that a good majority of this 1% gets affected / impacted, many times upto the point of having to believe that they are in the wrong place all the time. Excellent video, instills confidence

[@krystinacarpenter1368]

I thought it was a trap until the blueprint was adjusted now it's such a trip! Thank you for your impeccable word, dedication and inspiration. You have helped change my reality of perception to the point of complete meekness and humbled humor.

[@nomad3069]

it is very true, it is human tendency, you often find people very selfish, the more you are giving type, the more give your time and energy, the more caring you're the more is the expectation and they use you to the max for their person benefits. I think one should learn to give ONLY when someone is really 'in need' of your support and caring, your time and energy and even financial help. If you simply keep doing with a good heart, good intention people keep taking, I have had experience all the time at work people take advantage of your efforts, your contributions to promote themselves.

[@thereistheonlyone]

Bryan opens the door for us to learn from Godin & this time, Simon. 🌟⭐✨

[@BehindtheBrand]

Thanks for watching 🙏

[@apoorvdwivedi2789]

Man, simon at 14:55 you just spoke my heart out... I haven't read ur book by the way... But has been going through all ur videos.. speaking about ur idea to my friendz ..... Simon Sinek, ur definitely next one for POTUS... love from INDIA

[@parnamsaini4751]

Welcome.

[@darshanveershetty3233]

I agree with Simon that courage is external. To survive, we need the tools, know-how, and people who we can count upon which is all external to us as an individual. As a example, any startup founder who has a larger-than-life vision needs to find that first collaborator either as a co-founder or an employee to believe in the same vision, for any work to happen. Any seasoned entrepreneur will admit it that he or she simply wouldn't do what they have done if not for having a great team that believed in their vision. There is always a person who first believed in a nut-job to do crazy stuff. And most often than not, those startups or companies where real innovation and passionate work takes place started with absolutely no resources whatsoever. Even if you knew that doing something that you believe in will bring about a change to either your life or to the others, you will still the need the faith that fellow human beings put in you regardless of your prior experience and expertise. There is a difference between being absolutely foolish and being courageous, no one remembers the person who didn't take any help from anyone to do something for their personal gain.

[@BehindtheBrand]

Thank you for watching Darshan

[@Rolinger56]

Simon...you're a complete genius!

Awesome interview. Can't believe I'm just now seeing it. Love the part about introverting when you need help and how to overcome that.

[@BehindtheBrand]

Thanks for watching!

[@kokhaurng8566]

Thanks teacher. Your speech is educational.

[@austincaruso7596]

Why does this guy call himself a cynic?! Hes really inspiring!

[@sonalshah6327]

I love his speeches so much. Where were you before?

[@scottoconnor8986]

Amazing interview, the video just dropped into my feed and the topic and entire discussion matches almost to the word what I've been discussing in my personal life recently, quite amazing. Making me wonder on these KZbin algorithms being much more clever than even imagined possible. Would be interesting to see a video on how that actually happens, and whats next.

[@dshmba]

Brian, Great interview and thank you for sharing this video. in a word outstanding.

[@BehindtheBrand]

Thanks David, good to see you here in the comments

Simon I really am a huge fan, and I know you've had my back. This is hopefully a wake up for me. Two that aren't in agreement cannot walk together. Honered to walk with you, perhaps It could have show more if I hadn't fallen so much along the way ! Lol

Sir. Really good 👍 I'll follow-up your all pontes. I bileav...really bileav.. Write ✍one more book .💐🙏🙏🙏🙂🙂

[@bitesizefirst]

I love Simon Sinek his concept of why, saw many of his talks and will surely read his book as well. One remark though that I have to make in this particular interview there is one thing I disagree with , when he says 'courage doesn't come from within'? 'it is given by others'? No I am sorry but courage comes only from within. That is exactly what courage is 'you' overcoming your own fear of doing something' when nobody is helping , when nobody is gonna support you is where courage starts! (and nothing else) courage is a concious deliberate exercise it is not something that is given or can be gotten from an outside source. Its a result of a determined mind.

[@darknessdollhouse7515]

bitesizefirst: On this I disagree with him as well. I found his understanding of courage a bit narcissist. 🌙

[@preciousgerbosch]

no! Simon is right.. someone have to learn you how to have courage.

[@bitesizefirst]

If you think someone else can teach you how to have courage I am afraid you don't understand the meaning of the word or act for that matter.

[@claudiaply2640]

Simon is right, and he explains very well in terms that courage IS an external thing that you learn from your environments and experiences, and then, it helps you overcome your fear and you can develop your own courage and grow from there.

[@bitesizefirst]

I am by no means an unintelligent human being and Claudia ..I wish you good luck with your life if you think somebody else can teach you to have courage. You either have it or don't, even supposed brilliant minds like Simon can get it wrong, and here he is deadwrong.

[@InTheRaw69]

Thank you.

[@greenlyroots9310]

He is completely on point, for the most part. However, he disregards his involuntary bodily intuitions. The mind is only able to work as effectively as the body is recognized.

[@erikERXON]

its all great what he is talking - do things and help others without any expectations then world will get better place. its all good, i am like that, but how to protect yourself from being used? people see that you give and help for free, they simply take and use u. then you can to a situation when u realise to help less is better eventho i would love to help much more than i do, but feeling that u were used sux.

[@daisysmith7928]

Hello Erik I saw your comment here and felt compelled to message you. I can empathize strongly with this conundrum and, if you're still in search of..., I'd love to share a perspective with you.

[@konradobidoski5415]

You should contact him and share stories - I'm sure he will appreciate that and you might have a shot to talk to the man himself :)

[@dandelion1627]

Totally agree w Konrad's comment. I am sure Simon will love to have real examples and great stories that he can share with his audience and the world.

[@Santafefashionweek]

Great information

[@bylocal5317]

This guy is really clever and observant but where does this concept of wanting to be happy or "I just want to be happy/just do what makes you happy) come from? this seems to be the biggest problem in society, some people are predisposed to being happy most of the time and they shy away from things and emotions that are difficult, that's how it is for them, if you have any depth or empathy, happiness is not achievable, (you will have your moments) but people with depth are or can be extreme and everything they do is extreme, and they are very curious but they are not happy or content, this is just not acheiveable for a lot of people, Millenials need to monitor their jealousy and self importance

[@AndrePannos]

can I translate put subtitles in this interview and put it on my channel? branding your channel of course? I am from Brazil and my channel is about the business environment for young people and this interviews was so inspiring to me that I would like to share with my small audience, if you allow me of course.

[@BehindtheBrand]

Sure, no problem Andre

[@johannagustsson1533]

Do you think you can directly go to your "why" without grinding so much in the beginning ? I feel like I'm always stuck financially and I don't have the money to start my startup. So I have to compromise with jobs I don't like for paychecks that barely is enough for each month to live a somewhat healthy life..

[@BehindtheBrand]

IMO your "why" is the roadmap. Starting any trip without knowing your destination or how to get there seems pointless.

Simon should include Amway in his list of organisations that do business from a strong "Why." I am amazed I never heard him mention that organisation.

[@ernestoberger7589]

Sometimes I listen Sinek and I'm sure he is talking from a purely theoretical point of view. His talk about leading millennials sounded like the guy have never been in a leadership position, but have read a lot of books about it. Those who have to lead and study leadership can tell.
