If a rocket goes off within three hundred yards, the shockwave makes your ears ache. It makes your head hurt. This guy is a liar..I can tell based on his reaction to rockets. He said it was a hundred yards..imagine the biggest firework, you ever saw in your life on fourth of July..and make it ten times bigger .and it blows up one hundred yards away. This guy is a liar.
I am a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel. I also worked on Wall Street for 20 years. When I do public speaking I always mention that I did not do an Army career to get rich and that true leadership is servitude. Few understand those words. Simon now gets it. I was a fan of his before I saw this video but now I would be proud to share a foxhole or an MRE with him. He now gets it. Thank you Simon.
The military and Wall Street are sadly both drains on society. Military enriches the rich and kills the poor, markets and finance is a parasitic middleman, yet you think you’re needed/useful.
Simon, well said! I am a retired Army Chaplain who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Every Soldier, Sailor, Airmen, and Marine and their family member who hears your story gets it! America needs a revival in the service to others. Keep this message alive. It’s one powerful way of honoring those who gave their all. Thanks!
I so prodoundly, deeply understood and felt every single thing Simon shared... what best is there than to serve others that serve for the good and betterment of others... it is so powerfully transformational.. it moves me to the core ❤
We have another unsung hero group called "caregivers". These are the people who quietly take care of their elderly parents or are hired to care for elderly people. This is a very difficult job that does not get enough recognition or respect. But these caregivers are serving those who've once served society; people who built our society...many of them are veterans, but are treated as used tires by society and by their own adult kids...once they've become sick and old.
This episode made me cry, especially the part when Simon shared about that particular experience of his. I felt everything he was saying at that moment and the impact of that event on his life
Every time I hear your experience in Afghanistan I cry. I feel you every fear, panic and anxiety. Thank God you are here and your eyes are open to our world. ❤ Simon. Keep going.
I feel, this is the first time I’ve actually understood something in one go. After this video, I’m not sitting and pondering or wondering about what I just saw. I understood.
Mr Simon your account of “realisation” was masterful thank you for sharing it . Lifted me to a state of “tears eyes wide open “ for want of better words . So often we cry riddled with pain, frustration, desperation ,heart ache or sadness , these sort of tears leave our eyes swollen bloodshot and sore and breathing laboured. However if we are lucky something touches us so profoundly (as it did for you on that runway )that tears from the soul ,fall from our eyes with such ease and grace that they cleanse our vision and thoughts (apart from a small headache due to sudden dehydration) its a beautiful thing . Even the world around you looks bright and enchanted for a while (kinda like LSD) best of all, the emotions connected to those sorts tears are etch deep and recallable . Some experience such tears from great Artwork , music , a child's success or a saved animal freed . For me those tears come when experiencing my own ,or sharing in others ,moments of profound realisation fairy
Beautiful! "Go on, we're with you." Soldiers know better than anyone else how important brotherhood is. Beholding that brotherhood makes one shy and silent and so it is with Simon Sinek. What Simon said about the emergency room doctor and the difference between helping wounded combatants and drunks made me wonder. He comes to the conclusion that purpose means 'serving those who serve others'. But isn't that an unnecessary limitation of purpose. Why not just 'serving others'? For that is what the military do. They serve everyone, civilian and drunkards. You could also say that drunks are the wounded of our society ... a society that desperately needs the feeling of "Go on, we are with you."
Sounds like a Dutch , I’m totally agree what you say . I’m a veteran “ Dutch “ today exactly 43 years ago I’d almost died in Lebanon “ todays my 2nd birth day . Unfortunately almost of the Dutch don’t care or don’t know what we did there . The example what’s given by the government , it took more than 35 years they admitted they made mistakes , the new at that moment . Same they did last years around COVID , denying. I ended on the ER , again another birthday , 2 times coma and again survived. Great respect for those who helped me at the ER and rehabilitation center , now 7 moths later I was able to stand on top of a mountain crying 😢 that i made it , I skied downhill and geld so much respect and greatness for those who served me although I was not vaccinated. I’d lost friends because of those situations. Situations that our politicians brought us in . So that people have no longer eyes and hart for choices other people make . We need people like Simon and you who are willing to open peoples eyes and harts . It will make the world much nicer that it looks right now 🙏
Please, know that I very, very rarely leave a comment on RUclips... However watching and listening to this video of Simon Sinek inspired me to do so. I always knew that Simon Sinek was brilliant guy, thanks to you and this video, I now understand why!! What an extremely beautiful and inspiring Human Being. Thanks to you Simon Sinek and to you "The Dairy Of A CEO Clips", I'm truly grateful!! Be well! 🤩 🙏
This is a great series and it shows Stephen is much more than an entrepreneur. He’s a great interviewer, because he asks good questions and lets people speak freely without interruption.
Some people may never understand between the difference. Take your time and Go on have two very different meaninings in itself but with this situation he spoke about it is especially important to not feel alone
This hits deep, thank you both for sharing . It means so much more knowing the history of where the inspiration comes from when creating and writing a book. ❤
We can help with his next mission, time to teach the world to collaborate Simon and never feel lonely - power of collaboration. Loving both podcasts #SimonSinek and #Stevenbartlett
How can one be so emotional and reflected and not reflect on and feel what the service is of those ppl „serving“: vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, … >1million ppl killed
Hi guys , passionate follower of yourself and Simon, many years ,This was outstanding, Simon telling story , tears to my eyes , Tremendous video guys 🤜🤛❤️🏴🙏
Ugh! That Broke Me. It reminds me of a poem by Rumi and part of it said , “ if I love you, I love myself, and if I love myself, I love you.” There is No Higher Love or Reason to exist, other than to serve the One’s We Love and Respect…
This sharing kept me spell bound........ amazing truths and a privelege to listen at my desk in Devon........... never going to live such a life at this time in my life but it's good to be stretched by things way beyond my everyday........... But we can all find a purpose everyday that makes the world a better place if we wish even the 'drunks and idiots'! Life is a journey and the only meaning it has is what we give it and if we are messed up then go to AA, get therapy, sort your diet out, get some exercise and do something for somone or something else everyday. We ARE all brothers and sisters not simply those in the military. We are all worthwhile............. We can all bare witness in the mud............................................. ?
When my friends are struggling, I do say take you time and also explain to them what they want to do and I guide them. We are sitting in the mud together, yes. We will make it out. I can switch to go on. Np.
Everyone has a different purpose in life. Some even serve a purpose of being the worst example so that others dont follow and change course. Serving is good but that can take many forms.
If you're there for a full tour and actually in combat that delayed reaction is delayed until you get home. They don't train you for that in the military. Also that person he said he became, you feel that person emerging, except your heavily armed and everyone around you feels the same way, amped up by a thousand because youre not just frustrated by missing a plane, you're frustrated by the reaction your mind and body are having throughout the experience and there's not much you can do to fight it. It's the real enemy, the logos of war that possesses you against your will. It's only when that avatar leaves you, when you're out of the zone and back in civvie life that your cultured, societal side returns and tries to deal with being sidetracked by necessity. That experience is dark. If you're strong, have good support and you're lucky you don't go mad.
Imagine how the Afghani's felt having foreigners invade their country, killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people. These crocodile tears mean nothing, to people that truly understand empathy.
I just wish the Governments of the day would see how many ex service men and women are homeless and living on the streets - why? Why are they not valued?
There are people in service, not just in the military. I'm not a big fan of war or killing, so I'd like to stay away from that context. I believe what Simon is really talking about is acceptance and inclusivity. For example non white community, LGBTQ+ community, someone believing in something else, or their identity is different from us. When people are experiencing difficulties that we ourselves can not handle, be it crying, grief, loss, heartache, depression, emotional or physical trauma, when people don't know how to deal with it, they want to be polite, or give space to themselves and others. From what Simon is sharing, which is common in those who are suffering, is that they don't want to be excluded, cast aside, putting as them vs us. The general saying 'Go on', he is stepping forward to be with those who are challenged, to be brave to hold space for the uncomfortable and unknown. I would say our society has not been trained or widely exposed to how to deal with these emotions as we have been educated to just do a job in an organisation for set hours, with limited toilet or lunch break or holiday break. There is a human being underneath all these and it isn't often fully acknowledged, well understood, and empathised. I believe this might happen more for men than woman, but all human being struggle with this fundamental issue of how do we deal with this short life and all the ups and downs we encounter. What Simon's work is pointing to, is how do we find use of our life, and how can we give it away for the benefit of others. That's essential the meaning of life I believe.
I appreciate the sentiment, but I interpret "Take your time" to mean "We'll wait however long you need so that you can continue when you're ready", and you could easily interpret "Go on" to mean "Come on, I haven't got all day".

Thank you for posting this snippet, I am now pulled towards watching the whole episode.

I cried, I felt every word that you said, Simon, go on! I always loved you and respect you ❤
Simon, well said! I am a retired Army Chaplain who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Every Soldier, Sailor, Airmen, and Marine and their family member who hears your story gets it!

🤍
I feel and understand every single word you've stated.
😍
Powerful message. Go on, Simon. We need people like you.
To give real service you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity.

I did angel flight detail in Iraq in 2007 ,most humbling experience ever .
I love how Simon shared this story. Brought me to tears too!
🤍
Simon Sinek is a fabulous mentor and inspiration. I absolutely adore him!
He's a storyteller
@@cerineine5611 and a great one, indeed. His stories are as deep, profound and inspirering as not many.
We have another unsung hero group called "caregivers". These are the people who quietly take care of their elderly parents or are hired to care for elderly people. This is a very difficult job that does not get enough recognition or respect. But these caregivers are serving those who've once served society; people who built our society...many of them are veterans, but are treated as used tires by society and by their own adult kids...once they've become sick and old.
I watched it twice, and tears keep falling! I felt all you said Simon, thanks you
This episode made me cry, especially the part when Simon shared about that particular experience of his. I felt everything he was saying at that moment and the impact of that event on his life
I have become a professional substitute teacher and now realize why I find it so fulfilling thank you. I serve those who serve others
Every time I hear your experience in Afghanistan I cry. I feel you every fear, panic and anxiety. Thank God you are here and your eyes are open to our world. ❤ Simon. Keep going.
I feel, this is the first time I’ve actually understood something in one go. After this video, I’m not sitting and pondering or wondering about what I just saw. I understood.
The power of telling a story well. ❤
this was why we love simon so much he knows what it means to be those who do for others
So so moving and has sparked an idea that's been brewing in my head and heart for a while now - time to act. Thank you.
I’m in tears

How can one be so emotional and reflected and not reflect on and feel what the service is of those ppl „serving“: vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, … >1million ppl killed
Hi guys , passionate follower of yourself and Simon, many years ,This was outstanding, Simon telling story , tears to my eyes , Tremendous video guys 🤜🤛❤️🏴🙏
What a lesson. I have a lot of pondering to do….
Beautiful 💯💚

The most beutiful of this interview was that Steve never interruped to Simon, thats awesome.
Thank you Simon!
man! that is a powerful story!
Wow, I sit at your feet. How on Earth did you manage to survive for all that time. You were becoming the hero you absolutely are.
Good god, how did you manage the gym after all that?
This is so moving 👍Thank you for those important insights 🙏
Wow, just wow!
That made me cry 👍🇬🇧
Simon is certainly a great speaker but, above all an inspirational person making you think and stretching you to get the best of you.

That was an amazing story ❤
I love you Simon 😭 Thank you
Amazing and emotional
Ugh! That Broke Me. It reminds me of a poem by Rumi and part of it said , “
if I love you, I love myself, and if I love myself, I love you.”
There is No Higher Love or Reason to exist, other than to serve the One’s We Love and Respect…
Great clip 🙌🏾
For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Mathew 20:28
❤ no words needed
Beautiful!❤️
That was amazing, so powerful
🤍
Powerful
We’re going to need that mentality in next couple of months.
This was so powerful
The greatest purpose is to serve those who serve others? So we gotta serve our mother's.
Hated the military (navy) but would lose my life for my shipmates (family) that I served with. I loved them.
AMAZING!!!!!!!!
Thank you for this powerful video. ❤
Thank you for listening ❤️

Go on...
Dang that's stirring!
That's the worst feeling when you're gonna have to tell your parents bad news. Except he's farrrr from home
To be or not to be....❤
He’s like a business Quentin Tarantino
Brilliant
Those wars were illegal and should never have happened. All of those lives lost, soldiers and families, civilians.. pure horror.
Yea. It takes a certain kind of critical eye to look behind the glorification of the US army
What was your plan for dealing with Al Qeuda etc
Holy Shit. This is so good.
There is no greater purpose than to have my life matter more than to msyself.
" Mastery in Servitude "..... Meher Baba.
Never new he served in forces, I always respect him, now even more.
He didn't serve
Wow!
Everyone has a different purpose in life. Some even serve a purpose of being the worst example so that others dont follow and change course. Serving is good but that can take many forms.
This guy kind of service is God sent...So deep

I like that you interview people i dont know. I dont like the disclaimer the more we are the bigger the guests.
Thank you Simon. In appreciation for my 1,245 days I spent in Afghanistan, I was labeled a "domestic terro..."-(censored to maintain YT safe space).
There are people in service, not just in the military. I'm not a big fan of war or killing, so I'd like to stay away from that context.
