So utterly captivating. His recounting of his experience with the Air Force brought me to tears...Thank you Jonathan for what is by far my favorite episode of GLP.

Simon is amazing isn't he? He makes you feel like you can do anything.

there are many great videos for Simon Sinek but this one shows more about Simon the person not the speaker. I have seen now the power of his speak. It is truly from the heart and that is why his words get in the heart.

Why can I click 'like' this talk only once? Simon's message is wonderful! Great talk!

There is a huge void in authenticity in the marketplace. Interviews like these are a dime a dozen..fresh breath of fresh air! Simon is a masterpiece!

I worked in a people focused environment...then we got "sold". Now I work in a disconnected environment...what a struggle. I serve those who work directly with me...however...the disconnect is with the leadership above. So true are the words Simon spoke since they resonate with my current reality. The Afghan story is extraordinary...first time I heard him share that. Thank you Jonathon for bringing such fabulous content.

Saw it today Thanksgiving 2013 - Very Powerful a another thing to be thankful for :)

I've always loved watching Simon Sinek speak / present. Who's with me?

Loved this interview of Simon Sinek and *****. Here are my notes: Aim to be 100% honest. If you don't know something that someone's asking you about, let them know the truth, simply. They might even be able to help you. If you speak like a scientist, only scientists will understand you. But if you speak like a truck driver, then both scientists and truck drivers will understand you. Law of average says 10% of your audience will "get it" anyway. It's up to you to communicate it to the rest. Have fundamentally an attitude of giving when you are presenting anything: whether it's blogging, or speaking, or selling. "I don't want anything from anybody." You don't need to sell anything, or to have your audience validate you. Put it aside. Just be here to give. "I don't put my twitter handle or anything. Maybe give me constructive feedback, so I can make it clearer the next time." To make that easier, present only what you care about. For example parents can talk about their kids for hours, remembering the funny gestures and things they say. Every one of us has a weird memory for things we care about, whatever topic we have a passion for. Communicate through story because that's when people get it on the heart and more likely to change. Evolutionary reasons for generosity: it's good for the survival of the tribe. Sales meeting: be there to help them. Whether it's your product or someone else's. What about wanting something for them? Presumptuous to do that for people you don't know. Yes close friends and family. But "I can help you" on website? Weird. In unhealthy cultures, money is the goal. Although it brings material gain in the short term, it's not sustainable. Be generous -- most people (or at least the ones you want relationships with) will want to be generous back. And especially take care of the people you know. It's about making each other feel safe.

Thanks George - you are indeed serving those who serve others!

"Serving Those Who Serve Others" powerful though, its important that your sacrifice is worth it...awesome

This is one of the most beautiful interviews I've ever seen.

Simon: "I don't have to know all the answers and I don't ave to pretend I do!" Mantra. A humble approach to Learning and empowering yourself 👍🏼

Hey Sorcha. So glad you loved the conversation. Always a delicate dance between whether we go the "expert" route like we did with people like Charles Duhigg, Dan Ariely and Jonah Berger, or whether we go the story route. Especially the case with Simon, since he's got such extraordinary wisdom, ideas and stories that illuminate his current thinking. So in the time we had, I decided to build around those ideas more than his story, because, as you shared, they were really extraordinary. :)

Mr. Jon, your questions are very good, your behavior is peaceful, and your emotions are controlled very well. Wisely put Mr. Simon…

Thank you both for the generosity of your time.

Very beautiful conversation and a great focus point for true leaders. Coming together to serve is of the highest value for organizations. Living not in judgment of others but in the moment of understanding the concepts before us is of the highest value for our lives and what we have to offer. Thank you for sharing.

Amazing interview....Waking up inspired, going to bed fulfilled and feeling safe in the middle...that's what it's all about. Thanks Guys :)

Truly inspirational conversation between ***** and one of my heros Simon Sinek on The Good Life Project. #Leadership #service

This really is an amazing video. I love that story about Afghanistan. I am honored to live in a country with people protecting up like that.

I think of Professor Higgins when I listen to Simon talk. I'll never be able to analyze dialects and accents like him but he got me thinking.

Love this man's focus on people! Simple, crucial ideas! Go Simon Go!

Great to be inspired by Simon in a direct conversation, I have only seen him giving speeches so far. Thank you, Jonathan!

Thank you, Simon Sinek for your brilliant, entertaining knock at selfishness.

This interview reveals so much under the hood of his preaches and it's even more inspiring. Thank you.

Love this guy. I've watched a few videos and I'm definitely feeling inspired. :)

My favourite episode thus far! Thanks Simon and Jonathan!

Simon being pushing thus message his whole life!

It's what's made him so successful an continues to be successful! 🏴‍☠️🃏

A lot of talk about how we can surpass ourselves by working for others, that is great and I find it inspiring. I do, however, wonder what Mr Sinek thinks of the freeloader problem ? When you scratch away the the surface of any pretty idea, a dynamic mess reveals itself, at once beautiful and ugly. Speaking of ideas serves a purpose granted , but I find the 'how to' of all grand ideas more insightful. How do you translate this nice shiny theory into tangible progress starting from the complex messy reality of life - there is no such thing as a clean slate. What if you have no power, what if you have power but the cost of change is sacrificing all you hold dear, what if there are conflicts of interest, what about opportunity cost?

Thank-you for such a beautiful conversation Jonathan and Simon.

Simon is the bomb!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this one!! My favorite thus far! So amazing to experience it in person! He share so many gems in this video and the story at the end is PRICELESS! Thanks for everything you do Jonathan! Keep Inspiring the World! Have an AWESOME week :)

You know a lot of what he is saying i was thinking to myself, yes that's right! Then over the past three years or so I have learned that safety is an illusion just as much as fear. We live in a fear based society when you turn on the radio or news and all you hear are these horrific stories , then I realized just by looking around and observing my own city and hometown that there is SO MUCH GOOD PEOPLE DO FOR EACH OTHER IT JUST MAKES NEWS an imbalanced fear machine, do we need to know about emergencies? Sure, other than that, we are all as safe as you feel and the same goes for fear, both are how we feel inside, and i feel and know we live in a safe balanced world! I do love to hear his perspective is point of view, the thing most crucial is that we learn not just how to communicate but LISTEN. Try to be the last to talk. I am working on that alright ;)

Thank you, Jonathan Fields, for this interview. I learned something from this that's new that I haven't heard from other interviews of Simon. Good stuff!

Thank You!

an inspiring speaker.

"because I'm inspired 🙏🏽"

Thank you Jonathan & Simon for a great view

So many wonderful points of wisdom learned. Thank you for your show, Jonathan! subscribed and liked!

Coming across this video is a miracle in itself. I had no idea why I even clicked and listen for the entire 52:35 mins but the only reason that comes to my spirit is because it was truly GOD sent. I needed this more than you both will ever know and I am truly thankful. God bless you both and your loved always.

This is the opposite of what he says in every other video. You clones should be forced to attend school for 80+ years till you can pass math aka the computer generating you gives you logic. Which it won't. But to be allowed in general population is a sin

Thank you so much for making this talk possible and posting it for us!

This is so informative. One talk can teach so much and have such a huge impact on us. Always try to tell the truth because in the end, both ends learn

Everytime I find someone inspiring and interesting, you have already had an talk :) congrats :)

Thank you so much. Thank you!

Amazing military story. Thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you both! Much appreciated

Wasn't too sure about this one from the title, but WOW, this was a great one!

What an amazing conversation, and so refreshing thought in this day of extreme prevalence of selfishness. Thank you so much!

I love it all, and especially choosing the people over the money. A difficult concept for leaders to fully understand when there is pressure to increase revenue.

Mind.blown. Thanks guys. Wonderful stuff.

His ideas is so fundamental, so foundational! I watch lots of Ted Talks and I would say 99% of those topics on Ted actually RELY on Simon's idea of WHY. Without the WHY, no other idea or method can take place!

Awesome talk. I gained here, tremendously. i have had the same feeling on some of your points, and you guys put vocabulary to my sentiments. Bravo!

This is incredibly powerful.

Very profound... Thank you!!

I really enjoyed this video. Thank you so much.

thanks - great interview and insight

Wonderful !!

Amazing!

Very inspiring. Really enjoyed this video.

I absolutely LOVED this but Jonathan, why didn't you "take us back"??

Wow. Just wow

The is a great video i always enjoyed Simons talks.

Great talk. Love Simon. See him as the new Tom Peters. I was influenced by Tom's ideas when I was a teenager. I never understood why Jack Welch was seen as a great leader. Great to hear Simon say the same thing.

inspiring!!

Servant Leadership

Totally Moved Me !!!!!!!!

Love him to death! Great speaker. Hits the right notes EVERY TIME. Side note: Was this interview in NY? The sirens geez!! I am from NY as well so I could sense it.

It is imperative I get to know 1-12

I think it was Robert Cialdini "Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion"

awesome video!

Muito bom o video!

Thx u

Score! :) Love this dude.

Thx for this ;-) you asked Simon approx in min 30 of the interview about examples of companies thst put employees at the center - before shareholder. Are you aware of the book called: "firms of endearment" ? Plenty of examples and performance data.

Brilliant. Simon, the one cookie man LOL

Uploaded on our (his & my) Birthday! :)

I really like what Simon is saying. What I find interesting is that most individuals that speak about taking care of people in business like Simon is talking about is fundamentally exposed by Dale Carnegie's book "How to Win Friends and Influence People", written before 1910.

That's interesting. Simon says we have evolved to this as we started giving bonuses to CEOs based on profits. There's so much talk about GenX and GenY and how they aren't loyal to their jobs. Maybe it's the GenX and GenY companies that are the root of that movement. This is just great food for thought.

Interesting insights on leadership, through a lens (metaphore) you both share ie: YOUR filters of perception.. Would you reply back and comment on how you beleive the principles discussed would enhance people viewing this wanting to attract prosperity consciousness, that might not share the same "lens".. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou..

Super cool.

What was the book that Jonathan mentioned as the most influential book of the 70's? Great interview from both of them.

This is a very useful video. I also have a question: How would you call a leader who leaves the company when the company and the workers need him? Our `manager`- as the others called him- left the company in hard times.. He messed up many things before he left his position (he did not get fired) Now he works as a `manager` for another company...

Was he talking about the Make studio around 33:10?

What book does Jonathan refers to at 8:00 ? It is a marketing book ...

Feeling safe at work and home is a part of the stability of a civilization, but risk is what stimulates change. Lack of change ends in extinction. People need to be exposed to the natural world in some way, or substitute randomness in order to exercise their animal nature. Best is when the work, home and attitude are focused on being generous to the future of the resources one needs. Caring for your employees is a subset of that.

Not sure if you're arguing against this here, but I think what Simon Sinek would argue is that when people "feel safe" at work, feel like someone is "watching their back" and trust exists between boss and employee, that is when those same people are more willing to take the risks necessary to actually cause positive change or innovation. When people don't feel safe they don't take risks, they don't generate new ideas; they simply stick to the status quo because its the safest thing for them to do. People who don't have security in their present won't, and almost can't, think about the future. Sinek's view of leadership promotes a sense of security for people in the present, so that they can innovate for tomorrow and thrive today in trusting communities.

Good comment, Hallie. No, I wasn't trying to disagree (much ;). I was trying to point out that human social situations are often ignorant of our naturally evolved instincts and heritage. I agree with you, and would take your thoughts one step further to say that a company that neglects its future resources in favor of immediate profits will seem obviously insecure to its employees, as there will always be illogical shifts of positions and organizational charts to try and compensate for diminishing security with random changes. From another angle, if employees always feel like they have to watch their back, then their company is probably consuming its own future in multiple ways (extracting oil too fast for the well's capacity, growing corn year after year, firing experienced employees to save money, etc.)

@hallieewing220

I think I understand. You're saying that if an organization fails to prioritize the future versus the now, then they are inherently insecure. You use the phrase "consuming its own future" in contrast with "being generous to the future"meaning that these organizations inflict negative impacts on tomorrow by only caring about today. For example, we know that growing only corn year after year extracts certain nutrients from the soil, but farmers won't grow anything else because corn is where they make the most money. It seems that we agree on this. Perhaps what we disagree on is the order of importance, or which comes first (like the chicken or the egg). I'd say that these irresponsible or unwise organizations fail to think of the future because they don't have communities of trust. You'd say that these same organizations do not have trust because they fail to think of the future. Maybe?

anyone know the marketing book they speak of?

What is the company Simon was talking about at 23:50 ?

The book the world of influence written 32 years ago mentioned at 8:02 by the interviewer. Where can I find it & who was the author of the book? Please help!

Sinek immediately starts mirroring and pacing.
