Simon Sinek is an unshakable optimist. He believes in a bright future and our ability to build it together. Described as “a visionary thinker with a rare intellect,” Simon has devoted his professional life to help advance a vision of the world that does not yet exist; a world in which the vast majority of people wake up every single morning inspired, feel safe wherever they are and end the day fulfilled by the work that they do.
He shares his ideas through his books:
-Start With Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action, a global bestseller (with over 1 million books sold in the U.S. alone)
-Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don’t, a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller
-Together is Better: A Little Book of Inspiration, a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller
-Find Your Why: A Practical Guide for Discovering Purpose for You and Your Team
-And his latest book, The Infinite Game, also a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller
A trained ethnographer, Simon is fascinated by the people and organizations that make the greatest and longest lasting impact in the world. Over the years, he has discovered some remarkable patterns about how they think, act and communicate and the environments in which people operate at their natural best. He has devoted his life to sharing his thinking in order to help other leaders and organizations inspire action.
Simon may be best known for popularizing the concept of WHY, which he described in his first TED Talk in 2009. That talk went on to become the second most watched TED Talk of all time, and is still in the top five with over 50 million views. His interview on millennials in the workplace broke the internet in 2016. With over 80 million views in its first week, it has now been viewed hundreds of millions times. This led to Simon being RUclips’s fifth most searched term in 2017.
His unconventional and innovative views on business and leadership have attracted international attention. From the airline industry to the entertainment industry, from finance to fashion, from big business to entrepreneurs to police forces, Simon has been invited to meet with a broad array of leaders and organizations in nearly every industry. He has also had the honor of sharing his ideas with multiple agencies of the US government and with the senior-most leaders of the United States Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy, Army and Coast Guard.
Simon is an adjunct staff member of the RAND Corporation, one of the most highly regarded think tanks in the world. He is also active in the arts and in the non-for-profit world (though Simon prefers to call it the for-impact world).

Great list. Very helpful. Here are three adendums.
Around 32:00 to 37:00 Sinek talks about his nuanced skepticism about AI in terms of meeting human needs and solving relational and meaning problems. I think about his argument in terms of Godel's incompleteness theorem. A.I./Technology can't solve our need for human compassion, relationships, and friendship.
He also mentions a new book about friendship, which speaks to the overall theme of the discussion.
Sinek speaks to themes around the dangers of toxic positivity at two points in the interview. I wish there had been more depth on this question.
Preference for the language of mental health versus mental fitness.
Visionary versus operators. This is a pretty big mindset distinction. It's optimists/idealists versus the Jack Welches and Bommers (other short-termers).
Overall a fantastic interview which speaks to the meaning and relationship questions (alientation and aloneness) which are perennial human challenges which we've dealt with since the beginning of time. Great to know that Simon's writing a book on this very topic.
Wonder how he would answer the question: how do you balance operator and idealist culture or (assuming that's the wrong language, metaphor or visual) how do you integrate the two?
Great presentation and insights Simon Senek!
Excellent production W. Darrell Wells & team!
Love Simon!

Very good video! I have TRC20 USDT in my OKX wallet and I have my recovery phrase: (pride pole obtain together second when future mask review nature potato bulb) How do I transfer them to Binance?
You were born ahead of the millennials. You talked negative in so many ways but I guess you are speaking true experience. Any generation has different ways, actions, means and behavior of people in different places and different culture. People have their own free will depending on their upbringing. Your experiences and observations from people and environment became your basis in your books and your stories. In which you profited from them. If not maybe you go nowhere. You are like the Black Death in your storytelling spreading to people of less understanding. You thought you are smartest just like Google that makes people more idiot.
Sinek as usual. Common sense of making no sense.
