[@OneAdam12Adam]

Just when I though I couldn't love Simon Sinek more, this one event made my love him more. He gives some of the best talks and insights ever.

[@FranciscoArvizu]

Simon Sinek is always great and we know that but in this occasion the ovation goes to the audience. Great questions that enabled great exchange of ideas.

[@dirtycasual3094]

Credit where it's due. Even if I have the answer, I can't give it to you if you never ask the question. Don't be afraid of questions, just take the time you need to make sure you ask the right ones. The ones that you actually want to ask.

[@JOMOPressureWash]

This is incredibly powerful stuff. Thank you so much. By the way, I liked my own comment.

[@leadup.renatto]

Really enjoyed this! Bring back honor.

[@arlinegeorge6967]

Great human beings are still struggling to change humanity. I just love many of these great human. My blessings and prayers to them keep rise and shine. Thank you. Love and peace to all the needy humans

[@thelover6175]

Simeon is Bold, am glad you mentioned the decline of honor in corporate America, it has declined the dignity of work. and most importantly the power driven ideology of leading the likes of jack welch brought in.

This man is 🤯 love Simon sinek! When he speaks you listen.

[@randomshadesofpaint]

27:00 Beg to differ regarding going to work. I find working from home alone has been very cathartic, had a lot of realizations and enlightenment through out these few years. As someone w adhd, working from office was hardly rewarding. Yes I do miss some of the human interactions, but too much was also over stimulating.. making it hard to be productive or to even hold a coherent thoughts. I also dislike the cycle of going out after work to complain as its boringly always the same few things, doesnt solve anything and it just made me hate myself more at the end of the day. Its also unhealthy because our brain will just keep reliving those moments over and over again. Now I am much happier, I wfh and I can choose to meet friends once a week and we can talk about more interesting things such as technology or movies than to complain to each other about non stop work related matters.

[@leonardtransfiguracion2169]

Awesome session! Thank you for sharing ❤

[@dotycatlin200]

[@OvRmind]

Simon Sinek good talk per usual thank you

Enrichment, great insight. Thank you Simon!

[@OlgaSunny-pl2sg]

You are reaching the 2 million marks. I will stop commenting as next I will find myself being retired with dentures and still commenting 😄 but I do have a suggestion. I think you should start your TV channel where you invite all the famous people from variety of different backgrounds and interview them. There is a great TV show in Russia run by Boris Korchevnikov who is close to his end life stages due to terminal horrible brain tumor. Boris grew up in atheist family and currently is on a road to spiritual journey. He receives many prayers from his audiences. He is very kind, gentle soul easy to communicate. Name of the show is a person’s destiny where the guests discuss great lessons of their lives it is a very in depth show that’s liked by many. I think it will be great seeing something like this in US tv channels. In Russian his show is Судьба человека. Probably can be watched by subtitles. Incredible show and host.

[@brightpage1020]

No way - a communist was raised atheist!?! You don't say! How shocking! Glad he's exploring spiritual consciousness now that his life is on the line from the brain tumor. That's awful for him. I sincerely feel thankful to God that at least he can exploit famous people to support himself. Phew! What a creative soul!

[@OlgaSunny-pl2sg]

Majority of people in Soviet were raised atheist and people who showed any spiritual awakening they were considered cuckoos. They do have many churches but under Soviet era if anyone talked about religion or dared to say anything about faith they were considered mentally imbalanced individuals. Don’t be surprised. If you study deeper you will learn a lot how people perceived faith under Communist era. He is not exploiting anyone it’s like saying all the hosts exploiting their guests, he is a journalist who does his job and does it greatly.

[@OlgaSunny-pl2sg]

Brightpage - Soviet era is well known for its athleticism. Yes there are many churches but people who were spiritually awakened or visited them were considered mentally imbalanced or as we call it in Western world “ cuckoos” therefore many denied that aspect of their lives. So I won’t be surprised if I were you get into a deeper studies of Soviet era. Also Boris is not exploiting anyone don’t know where you are getting that information. He is a well respected journalist who later became a well known host on television and runs this show.

[@robertaandersonjr.1813]

Powerful!

[@kartikchaturvedi7868]

Superrrb Awesome Fantastic session

[@MissSusyG]

@53:25 amazing to have Simon confirm what I have been saying about HR. HR with no humanity was my line.

[@annevanduren7820]

Hi Simon Sinek, I believe you are very well qualified identifying the frustrations of the nature of traditional business within the marketplace. The issue we face is the ownership of traditional business dictates the form and condition of work relationships...because of "cut-throat" marketplace environment dictating price and competition, (with other like types of business selling products and services, because there is no SPACE for an alternative within traditional business models). THE ANSWER: Seek out the business model which champions compassionate capitalism. It does exist...it has survived and thrived for 60+years within 100+countries and territories. Network marketing.... Learn WHY it is the world's number one, family owned, family-based, debt free business model....raising the standard and quality of living for families....when the cost of living keeps rising. This type of enterprise model helps leverage cashflow in the domestic household using a compensation plan teaching how to structure better business....so individuals, couples and families are not forced to remain enslaved within the job-market regime untill unable to work.

[@duffry]

I agree that colocation is a simpler solution to some issues but that doesn't mean it's easier, especially for some (DEI). Do you think it's possible that you just don't have great Zoom calls? The conversations you describe are the ones I encourage - get your meeting points done when you have an agenda, but it's a gift to be able to message and meet someone for a 2 or 200 min chat anywhere, any time. I think your zoom calls need an upgrade. I wanted to say it, because I was excited to find something you say that I actually disagree with.

[@joryiansmith]

This was beautifully amazing 🙏❤️ Thank you Simon

[@drumboy256]

Good insights as always.

[@OvRmind]

The q/a is good

[@essamgossiel6377]

It's like having a soccer manager or a super bowl manager and that is knowing where each and every player is to be located and where they best fit in. The same applies to someone leading or managing employees or workforce.

[@nguyentiendung9792]

Liquid Gold.

[@JoseBarahonaes]

I rather stay home, thank you! =D

[@drticktock4011]

Wow!

[@prabhugaming4129]

it was good👍👍👍😇

[@brain_respect_and_freedom]

It's interesting to observe the first minutes with Simon Sinek when he doesn't talk.

[@ruasmadasme]

I've seen several conversation events where the host does not pause to let the crowd murmer for a moment at the end of your answer. They hear the denouement cadence change and prepare the next question for launch. They hold no space and no respect for your pirouette plié stutter tip-toe mic-drop.

[@Phellipew]

What's the name of the fella that asked a question at 01:01:05?

[@dirtycasual3094]

This is where i get confused. Heheh... I thought that was closer to maybe sociology, although i can see how anthropology would include these details.. 😅

[@sebastianarias7042]

You said before you where an idealist not a artist.

[@brightpage1020]

Oh did this socialist reframe the identity politic that attracted you - already!? That must feel so frustrating. How could you handle that?

[@brightpage1020]

Are people confused about why leadership matters? Is anyone unaware of why leadership matters? Or questioning that now? For real? In 2024!?! Do we really not know? Not understand the concepts inherent with leadership? Or could this title be insulting our intelligence to stir emotional clicks? I'm honestly, genuinely wondering.

[@brightpage1020]

Maybe you should ask the liberal suburbanites of Minnesota who, according to a recent Apex news report are feeling shocked and betrayed by the leaders they voted for putting homeless in their own literal backyards, while their neighbors' homes get stolen by squatters while the taxpaying property owners who lived there were on Thanksgiving vacation... Or burned down. Ask those who have moved out of the homes burned presumably by the homeless who had circulated flyers and sheet signs advertising "you sweep, we strike!" slogans. Should we ask them why leadership matters? How about the people of Seattle's CHOP zone? Or the southern kibbutzes and music concerts of Israel? Or people of Old LaHaina Town, Hawaii? No? Should we ask them why leadership matters? Nah... Let's ask this glorified "business artist" instead. He must be an amazing leader... To have written Books! Oooh! Must be an expert on the topic. Of your thoughts, at least, anyway. So you can all feel intellectually superior to those suffering at the hands of your decisions. Phew! So grateful for this unexpected glimmer of hope that there might be some thought at all in the upcoming crowd of trainers ;o)

[@Greenandgold888]

full time employment, 2 jobs. so my employer doesnt treat me like crap. I can easily leave if they do.

[@rubyvids8857]

Really glad you shared that. 😅

[@kunststof]

1:01:03 this is the most annoying and time consuming question I ever heard

[@torenoleary8489]

34:00 the interviewer displays classic leadership flaws. She is embarrassed and blames her people for the issue on knowing his last time he was in country.
