The fact that I get to watch this for free is amazing.

[@eagleeye7743]

That's our information age for you

[@CalumnMcAulay]

this guy is one of the most powerful and sincere communicators I've ever heard

[@NKPyo]

Simon Sinek is great at identifying root causes of problems. Thanks for the great talk!

I never knew "good 👍" is a perfect way to end a great talk.

26:37 "The joy comes not from comparison but from advancement." ― @simonsinek

[@HighSpeedNoDrag]

Comes from Victory that begins well before the 5 yard line and goal.

[@ChrisAnthonyPinnock]

"The joy comes not from comparison but from advancement." wow, just wow. That hit like a brick for a millennial that worries about views,shares and like counts when improving my skills would be far more rewarding on a personal, self development level. Thanks Simon! Thanks CreativeMornings HQ!

[@KatrinaKatress]

Chris-Anthony Pinnock Exactly!! This was extremely refreshing and it's a much necessary conversation that we need to begin having!! If you enjoyed this and see value in these type topics check out my channel where I'm trying to help create transformation

[@richardkautz2116]

Chris-Anthony Pinnock the absolute worse thing about simon sinek and i do mean just disgustingly disturbing is that he cant be everywhere and anytime and there just arent enough people like him. i would drive a 3 state radius to watch this man speak in person.

[@pattls7]

richard kautz agree with you and I live in Hawaii

[@KatrinaKatress]

Same here! I am in Texas. What I did was took one of his speeches and added additional information relative to the topics and i all be launching that video on my channel asap! We all need to help support and spread information and perspective like his.

[@maddballpartyproduktions9757]

Katrina Katress I agree

[@heatherhnizdil2473]

I vote Simon Sinek for president!

[@sarahspirito6189]

Just see this and I totally agree!

[@JB1052]

I'm glad I grew up in the 80's and 90's before social media and cell phones.

[@raisingmaxi1601]

JB1052 I know, right!

[@batmanfanizationreborn6055]

damn he is good, he is my favorite speaker. he is so charismatic and has a special vibe about himself. he knows our generation so well, he is very specific and hits just the spot with what millennials are facing. i wanna learn social skills, develop meaningful friendships and relationship, but i am shy and afraid of rejection why is why i am so struggling to find a girlfriend or a job that will give me financial independence...i want to, i am ambitious, care deeply even though i shouldnt sometimes etc but my mindset/brain needs rewiring

[@rodolfobergner1022]

feeling every word of this.... people don t connect anymore.. i find myself lonely and very depressed.

[@raularmas317]

We need as individual genders to heal/repair the world's within us FIRST before we dare to begin to fix/repair the WORLDS around US. Why else are there more people living as individuals alone than ever before? Because you(as an individual) need to figure out you and what you want to be known for and identified with before you decide what you want your city/town/state/country to be known for and identified with. That is the first hard work I believe Mr Sinek is really referring to before anything else.

[@LeoYambao]

the only competition we have is ourselves... learn something new from Simon Sinek everyday

[@monicahope1193]

Taking Responsibility Simon, I'm so glad I listened to this talk. You repeatedly said, "We are taking a generation..." I think what you really meant to say was, "We are taking responsibility..." I think (in many of your talks) you stop just short of saying this. And it's not a bad thing...but I think you personally have grown to the place where you are beyond trying to be heard, you are beyond inspiring. You have adequately diagnosed the problem over and over again...the next level of your talks is to teach social behavior. Don't talk about why we lack social behavior, teach us what it looks like to have good social structure. The best example I can give is you have to describe to those of us who have lived and worked in the coal mines of our current American culture how to exit the mines and adjust to the light. You know...you have inspired me time and time again. My way of changing my immediate world is to greet at least two people I don't know everyday and make it a genuine greet with full inviting eye contract. I have learned to make it personal, but the problem (as you have pointed out many times) is we live in a culture of escapism and apathetic reality because we are a nation of addicts addicted to numbing our conscience so we don't feel a sense of responsibility. But how do we change that when it is fed to us through every second of media influx in everyday of our lives?

[@beckyg3172]

I love how honest and true, on everything that he says, it makes me put things into perspective and makes me realise what it means to live your life and not to just survive it.

[@laxvideogeek]

I love this talk and agree, I've never heard a bad Simon Sinek talk! I'm going to rehash this and use it in a high school teacher/coach context and hope I can do 10% as good delivering it.

[@KatrinaKatress]

Yes, Exactly! This was extremely refreshing and it's a much necessary conversation that we need to begin having!! I've began my projects around these topics if you are interested in what I'm doing to help transform this concept check out more about how we can create the shift.

[@PeteGomez]

A nice reflection @19:00. This needs to be said over and over. We are the mirror's reflection. Change yourself.

[@troygardner1610]

"It's not about outdoing others, it's about how to outdo yourself" +" you ARE your competition" one of the amazing things about this if taken to it's logical conclusion and if it is significant in it's value (not uniqueness) is you become incomparable and that becomes a source of immense security in oneself and in a world of chaos/lostness, and when it does reach others immense fulfillment.

[@prohurd6801]

The realist perspective! Wow!

[@stephanfrank8340]

Amazing! Thank you very much! I will show that to everybody i know and it is able to understand.

[@KatrinaKatress]

Stephan Frank Absolutely!! This was extremely refreshing and it's a much necessary conversation that we need to begin having!!

[@SarahVision]

[@mariselvand9832]

Sarah Christine

[@coreyhancock4652]

Outstanding!!!! I subscribed put out more content so the next generation will be programed with the truth gratefull your doing this

[@elstimate]

The speech of the century!!! I mean seriously! I've seen his talk earlier and this is the best version so far. It's a must see! Btw I'm a millennial. :)

[@thetruth3322]

You are great Simon. You are Great.

[@BearWolf21]

Simon: I really heard you that time. Some of your best. I bought your book because I am a fan.

[@normiaija5258]

I have been searching for my passion for a years now more or less desperately. Is it Technology, is it food industry, is it sports. Yeah I like those. But with this video I somehow realized what my true passion is: Helping and serving others, that's where my true joy comes from.

[@fredbehrens8426]

I forwarded this video to my 19 year old Daughter Arianna and that is what she texted me: I watched the video about millennials and it was refreshing to hear points that support that we're not all egotistical assholes because of technology but that it's because we've been told we can do anything since we were younger, and we figure out that in the real world we're not made to feel special, and all we have is ourselves to be happy, and so many people don't know how to find happiness within themselves so so many are depressed. We wont "achieve" happiness from this end goal wayyy in the future, we have to find things that make us happy everyday, and the most fulfilling habits are the healthy ones that don't involve other substances for a short term gain or to numb your emotions, its the habits that help other people, when you connect with the right people, and nourishing our passions that make us happy

[@MonicaAliciaColunga]

Very good.

[@drsanjidahashi3738]

Incredible...

[@nobushan4100]

I love Simon's recent shift in focus and emphasis on the Millennials and how we mistreated them with the terrible corporate culture that was created decades ago.

[@senseivictoriawhitfield3868]

Spectacular

[@anvitakrishna7892]

Simon...I heard/ saw your first video today and have spent a large part of the day viewing many others. Your thought process resonates deeply with me and it's just so inspiring. I'm almost afraid I might be falling in love with you !

[@doriendbma2001]

I'm born in 1970 but for a long time shared most of the Milennial characteristics, having discovered alcohol as a coping strategy at the age of 16. I was fortunate to have a very caring employer during the first 5 years of my career and, though it helped to keep my stresslevels down, it did little I think for my personal growth. Eventually I had to hit rock bottom at the age of 35 before I was willing to learn new coping skills. My feeling is that it might be the same for a lot of milennials.. they will need to hit rock bottom before they'll become willing to change... and, in order for them to get to that place, offering a supportive environment alone might not be enough.

[@dmoneyhustler1486]

"not practicing empathy" that got my like right there...

[@maywin4204]

Hate people who compare...it's service to others...Good. thank you.

[@scottdunavent]

Great!

[@suraizafpakeer8611]

Amazing topic .very relevant. 🌹🌹🌹✌✌✌💖

[@namanydv_garud]

NO words to explain the beauty of this video👌🏼🔥 Million, billliioonnnnn dollars worth of content, or if I put it correctly it's something that is above money considering beforehand that money is super important.

[@maywin4204]

Everything is so true...

[@kellybaig5361]

hi - Love Simon's views and communication skills. A bit troubled when his best advice to millennial gen, though, is to wait for the corporate culture to change. Makes sense to state to corporate leadership teams that they need to take responsibility for changing things; I have no problem with that message when the audience receiving it are those in charge. But people in the younger generation encountering these types of challenges need some advice on what they themselves can do to build better coping strategies, to define realistic missions, to develop self-confidence and patience, and to reach out for mentors within their companies. I hate to think that we've got an entire generation waiting for the corporate world to "come around" to fixing things, because I don't believe that has a high likelihood of happening any time soon.

[@bowieinc]

18:40 lady listening to life changing amazing talk about cell phone ruining life, stares at phone during talk.

[@mikeferry3391]

Everything anyone says is on the internet. It's when they are put in context and structure that it's meaningful.

[@newera478]

God damn you...

[@sarahspirito6189]

Simon, You are Brilliant!! Your teachings inspire me every day to be a better version of myself. I share you with my friends and many clients as well. I think you should be the president of the USA. “To much is given , much is required”. You have the exceptional knowledge and understanding with much compassion to lead and instill much needed change in this country. Thank you for sharing your Amazing self .🙏⭐️ Best, Sarah

[@raularmas317]

With all due respect, I believe Mr Sinek is best positioned to help the greatest number of people from his "current situation" outside the formal political restraints of an Office like the US Presidency where he is subject to many hundreds of filters all designed to dilute and disintegrate his core message. Thankfully, I think he realizes this particular pitfall and has carefully avoided his message becoming marginalized by a too-restrictive job entitlement. A job entitlement that would no doubt choke the life from his real mission/message while he is engaging in the "thick of thin/superficial things" as some kind of figure-head, nes pas?

[@lindamullin8309]

he's so handsome and smart and i m a mom w a 15 yr old and 20 yr id love them to watch this too
