I've watched many interviews of Simon Sinek and this interviewer asked some pretty unique questions that really caused Simon to think and consider. I didn't find the interviewer as annoying as some others commenting here. I enjoyed watching Simon answer the unique questions, you can see that he's really engaged with the interviewer.

I felt the natural child life curiosity and innocence of the interviewer which is why simon too got involved in it perfectly.

Great video content! Excuse me for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you considered - Biyiam Biyameron Solution (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a great one off guide for learning how to easily get the success of your life of your dreams minus the normal expense. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my mate at very last got astronomical success with it.

LMAO, I know.,. he is too much.
It only took me 43 years to learn that the difference between those that became SUCCESSFUL, and those who didn't, was their ability to HOLD ON and PERSIST in the face of less than desireable, often bleak, circumstances and/or environments. Just. Hold. On.

A great interviewer asks thought provoking questions and lets the interviewee answer in a conventional manner. This interviewer did that. Until you’ve found a way to interview people of status, and done it, you’re opinion doesn’t matter. It’s an art that is learned by doing. I have been interviewed by terrible interviewers with the same boring question and constant interrupts and fantastic interviewers with great and original questions. I have also been able to interview a world renown figure, so I am not speaking from a lack of experience here. This was a great interview for the transparency of both involved, period!
Simon didn't teach me what to think, he taught me how to think and why that's important. He gave me the tools necessary to find my purpose and for that I am eternally grateful

Pretty trite tbh.
Why I binge watch his videos while thinking smug little bard every single minute. his self assurance and clarity makes me envious!
I love that your success humbles you! Many would be puffed up jerks when they get “big” and you, Simon, are humbled by it. Wow. That is a great human being.❤
I love his humility, honesty, passion, clarity and insight. Always taken in when i listen to one of his talks. Seems to strike the right chord s each time. Thanks for sharing and i hope Simon keeps doing whatever he is doing.

The best one is his golden circle concept.I just loved it and felt enlightened for how we make our choices.
Simon Sinek is first and foremost, an AMAZING communicator... it's one thing to have a good message, yet another set of skills to communicate that message effectively, and Simon just knocks it out of the park every single time. As for the interviewer, I didn't find him annoying, though, I do agree, he is quite intense, but I think, more than anything, his enthusiasm is coming from his great admiration for this person he is talking to, and if you all can imagine being given a chance to have a conversation with someone you admire so much, you'd probably be really intense too! I know, I would! Especially when I realize this might be the only time I will ever have this opportunity to sit and talk with this incredible person! I don't know, I just think the interview is just like all of us, #fangirling over our favorite artist.
In every single position, especially management, I ever held to include working with depressed clients, I 100% insisted on a positive work environment. It takes you to places in your imagination that you are able to achieve in your reality. Your optimism is such a wonderful contribution to the globe.
i just love simon his impact theory is also best.
Love to listen to your speech and after listen to this interview I realise why I enjoy and motivated by you, because you keep it real and honest. Thank you for share your thoughts and experiences….. I needed … and grateful that I found you ! Xx
I love the way he answer the questions with much confidence despite based on his real life.
I Love his voice. He is so spiritual, knowledgeable.
Because of you Simon...I'm changing to the best. ..You changing our life to better life ..God bless you & give you all the best & happiness. Keep doing.🙏🙏
Great to know that we are coming to a time where people matter and that we can inspire each other. Your video inspired me today. Thank you, Jane
This only grew my respect towards this great man. He genuinely tested what he preaches and he's brutally honest unlike many other speakers who say sh** to be liked and for followers.
Simon, crazy love seeing you and hearing you on interviews. Keep doing it even if the other site is a bit much...Big thanks for your raw honesty on everything your work says. Minute 14...ohhhhh All the best

8:56 is the interviewer been sarcastic?
I think I’d be just as excited as the interviewer if I was able to interview this man, haha Simon Sinek is incredible!
I love the way he talks
What an awesome interview Inc. conducted! This is essentially Simon's backstory and his journey from a marketing agency owner to the journey Simon took discovering his own "Why?" and the evolution of "The Golden Circle". How refreshing to see Simon's down to earth spirit ("this was more evolutionary than revolutionary" as Simon tells his story.).
Many people are complaining about the interviewer being annoying. I think one possible reason for that complain could be the mic level is much higher on the interviewer and whenever he makes a sound, it appears to be much more apparent. On the other hand, Simon's voice sounds very relax. This comparison creates this imbalanced "talk". In any case, a great interview! I like how the interviewer articulates his questions and that makes the interview very intersting to listen.
Wow! I like the last part. It’s cool you say about being humble and say “I don’t know that and I need help.” We all need to to that more.
Yep, all the signs of a true genius. Thank you so much for what you've done for so many.
This is the first time I heard this story and WOW!!! Simon Sinek from an ordinary person to who is he now. If he can do it, so can we.
Bravo Simon ! Long live creative people like this.
I love this man and his brilliance! I choose to work with him!
I’m bad at listening to native speakers’s talk. Setting speed at x0.75 and it works for me. Thanks for KZread, thanks for all the good thing people have worked here. Wrap up a good lesson: to learn to say I don’t know, I don’t understand or I need help
One of the greatest orator! I had an opportunity to listen to him at Global leadership summit...
bless your heart Simon! you inspire me to be me, now I just need clarity on what is my one why!!!
Wow! The humbleness of Simon Sinek is really, well, humbling. I think it is very very uncommon to find someone in his position with the success and exposure he is gaining and expressing such humble and honest comments about himself. Wow! Very admirable.
For some reason, hearing Simon's why just made the last piece of my why click in place. I thought it was one of two things, but it was actually one that fed into the other: I thought it was either the pursuit of novel knowledge or the aim to help and inspire those around me. I now realize I think it's actually the pursuit of novel knowledge so that I can share it, and to help and inspire those around me.
Really good interview. Appreciate Simon’s refreshing candour.
I appreciate Simon's definition of an entrepreneur. I've been an entrepreneur for 30 years, yet I'm terrible at operating a business..... He would understand :)
I enjoy so much the ways how he explained. Finding him out, make me add my numbers of the great motivators in my life.
I love the honesty and the lack of care he shows for what he thinks others think of him! Also gives me straight David Duchovny vibes lol (hank moody)
Good questions asked by interviewer and very sensible answers by Simon. 👏👏
I wanna cry... This guy really inspires me T.T I'm glad I'm not the only one who belives that the word can be changed.
Great interview, questions and I know so much more about Simon's journey because of it. I agree with the assessment that the critics are way off based here...if I could work with any person on the planet it be Simon! It's on public record now...I'm a Communications and Relationship Consultant for 30 yrs...and definitely an Entrepreneur!
This is the best interviewer I have seen in a very long long time
Not entirely sure why everyone is talking trash about the interviewer, he asked great questions and was genuinely interested, if not ecstatic, to talk to Simon. I genuinely enjoyed the flow of the interview and thought he did a great job. Thanks for the upload.
Best interview ive seen en the past months.... congratz Inc. and praise Mr. Sinek :D
Thanks, Inc and Simon for this post. Very frank and very inspiring. Many viewers would be able to connect to some such incidents in their live too.
Simon makes me so happy to just look at him. Living a life in struggle resulting in chronic depression has been so hard physically on my body, and listening to Simon speak is so mind-blowingly relieving

Simon is known for the "why" of any business. If we just know the "why" of our lives, we know why we are here on this earth, the whole purpose of our lives and can accomplish or work on it, depression will disappear. Stay happy Rebecca!
how an excellent person is he I really love it the way he says words when he use them he has true sound thanks simon
(things went silly)........ the first person I heard calling "views" silly, this is how you know he doesn't care about the attention but the message. hands down genius
I just love Simon's passion for helping people.. I've shared his vision my whole life and just never been able to articulate it . There are millions of Simons. We believe what he believes.. We just can't articulate it like he can.. Not yet anyways. I listen to him 7days a week.. Trying to apply this at my job.. It's up to me to carry his torch in New Albany,Indiana.. God give me the strength to reach these peoples hearts.. Somewhere in life they lost themselves and started caring more about money than the people who generate it with them.. There is no way to measure most of these concepts on paper. Which is what they expect in upper management. I have faith that I will figure out how to get them to believe in ME enough to give me the space and tools I'll need to apply this theory in my workplace. 3PL Contractors.. Where the first sign in the parking lot says "Alpha Zone only".. Wish me luck because these are great people who just need guidance I can feel it!!!

Enjoyable interview, some really good points raised, I'll consider this in the future. Thanks!
Simon is the best inspirational speaker in the world 👍🏻
Solution Advocate!!! Love your history and candor, Your WHY is truly an encouraging incentive for many of us to focus on what comes naturally, once there has been education. Thank you
This is the man I truly admire.
So inspirational, I follow Simon Sinek a long time ago, it really helps to learn more. I started affiliate marketing already 1,5 years ago when I signed up for Free Training in one educational company. Thank you for sharing this video! :)
I love watching Simon talk and this interview is so awesome! New details of his ‘how’. Great job!! Great interview! 👏🏼
So inspired by this man!!
I love your ideas 💡 thanks a million for sharing them with us!!
He's my favorite author and also mentor. I've learnt a lot from his talks and books and I'm so grateful to have a chance to learn as much as I can from his greatest contributions. 😊
What a humble person.
The concept of the golden circle. Brillliant!
To inspire people to do what inspires them so together, each of us can do to change the world for the better 💙
You only have ONE WHY IN YOUR LIFE and the opportunity is to live in balance or out of balance with that one why? Goodness?!? Am wowed!!!

He learned biography of him and prepared amazing questions :)))) I liked ides of Simon,inspirational speech is not ab dreaming of success or money,it is sth related with soul. thanks!!!
This is an awesome video!! Thank YOU!
i LOVE Inc. Magazine
Good interview. Simon answered what appear to be some interesting questions about how it all started? Honestly.
I actually appreciate the interviewer. He may be a little energetic but his questions are on point. It is obvious that he was truly listening to Simons answers.
I like how engaging the interviewer is, great job!
Thanks for sharing
I love this kind of interview. There are lots of feelings going on here. And the ethusiasm that the interviewer had, makes it felt more realistic. I don't really like when someone is being "formal". But still, we have to do it once in while so... Yeah.
Thanks for sharing your flaw to PUBLIC. I will put effort to rectify in our lifes .
What a beautiful human.
I'm going to Finish my Master Degree and pursue teaching career. And im going to go back to this comment and edit this that i reached this goal.

Simon has helped inspire me with my calling as a Knowledge Entrepreneur using my human interface expertise.

What we do is not so important than why you do it.That 'why' is what inspires us to do our work which can add more value to people's lives.Being a teacher, it is completely awesome to wake up and figure out cool ways to do my job in a more interesting way.That joy on my students face drives me to do more , that's my "Why"
Not the greatest video but its hard to mess up a simon sinek interview i still love it.
I have half a PhD in Physics. (That was 27 years ago.) Drive on using what you learned!
Simon is amazing as always 💖BTW something’s up with the interviewer 😬
Strong message. Overly intense interviewer.
