My mum was a stewardess for 30 years and said of all the celebs she met flying. Simon Cowell was the most genuine, down to earth celeb she ever met. He was so polite and friendly she said

I met Simin Cowell on the streets of Beverly Hills about 10 years ago. I am not usually the person who would go up to a celebrity and interrupt them, but I was with my young teenage daughter who was excited. He was very kind, allowed her to take a phito with him and spoke a few nice words to her. I knew he had a kind heart.

When Simon stated said he felt like he had nothing to live for, that feeling is such a hard one to get over. Two spinal surgeries in 2017, lost my physical freedom them my son left for the military, then my husband filed for divorce without being able to be honest as to why……but I know he felt I was a burden. At that point I felt why live? But God had another plan. Simon, it’s so nice to see the real you and your openness.

Simon is so genuinely honest about everything he was asked. I love Simon in this format.

Before retiring I was a flight attendant and had the pleasure of serving Simon and he was such a pleasure to have on board ,and to my surprise he came on board a month later and remembered me! When we landed in LA as I was getting on the crew bus I noticed him letting people take pictures with him,he must have been so tired after a long flight, but his fans came first,everything you see and hear in this interview is so spot on ,he is a real Gentleman and his parents must have been so proud,really enjoyed this podcast thank you

I wanted to commend you not only for convincing Simon Cowell to join the podcast but also for the incredible way you allowed him to open up. This is by far one of the most interesting podcasts I've ever listened to. Thank you!

As someone who lost my mum and dad before 30, I found this really comforting to listen to when he spoke about his mum and dad

I have to say him sharing his mental health struggles is profoundly helpful to others! So many successful people refuse to admit how life really is for them emotionally! Simon sounds really healthy because you can't change it if you won't acknowledge it! Respect

I'm amazed at how many times Simon Cowell has been interviewed, and how little those interviewers prepared for it, relative to how much preparation went into this interview. Read his book. Bought copies of his early record deals. Understood the ins and outs of business and specific details about marketing, and applied that understanding to Simon's life story. Hands down, great interview. Well done. It's great watching someone who is older and has lived an exciting life brighten up and reminisce about his life with a younger man interviewing him. You have a natural gift for leading people down a road, and guiding them through their story, that actually helps them to relive some of their best moments. It's really remarkable to watch. I'm only 51 minutes in, but I'm quite confident that Simon will shed some tears before it's over.

The Single Most Informative thing I Learned Here that made me like Simon Cowell more, was when Stephen informed us that Simon had taken the time to not only acknowledge each individual in the studio, but to speak with them.

Mr. Cowell, if you read this, I would like to express my respect and gratitude for sharing your life path. What a great man you have become. 👍

Seeing Simon on AGT as the hard nosed Judge you still see his softer side for people at times. This interview just cemented the real Simon and his genuineness.

As a 71 year old pensioner in the UK, I remember when Simon did his first shows on TV and how honestly shocking his comments were on contestants in those days, something we had never heard of or seen before. He definitely made a huge impact to the extreme that people didn't like him but secretly had the same thoughts and were too afraid to agree with him on air for fear of being unpopular. I also noticed that his attitude changed for the better when his Mum passed away and when his son was born, it was the best life changer for him it seemed. However look where he is today, a well respected man in the industry. I also have severe depression and don't see a soul on a day to day basis so most days I am in bed watching Youtube videos as company in my sad life. I really enjoyed this interview so thank you both for sharing an insight into your private lives. Have a continued great life you are both blessed. Thx.

I did some work for Simon Cowell many years ago on a kitchen he had fitted He was having issue with it. So I was on the back foot from the company perspective. He was a complete gentleman man. It was very early but he asked if I wanted coffee or toast. The exact opposite to his image on tv. A while ago now but never forgot it.

Really enjoyed hearing ‘the real Simon’ - what a genuine, kind and honest man.

I didn’t think I would listen for over 2 hours to any interview on YouTube, but here I am, truly enjoying it!

From this interview I have a profound respect for Simon. He genuinely has a wonderful soul. His vulnerability throughout this interview has given me so much to learn. The interviewer too is exceptional. He did his research, asking the very questions a number of us are thinking. Allowing the guest to speak. This for me is a masterclass on how to conduct an interview. One take away from what Simon shares is this, success requires a certain level of determination, persistence, tenacity, crazy 😅 and a positive attitude. This is going to last a lifetime.

I can’t express enough my appreciation to Simon for sharing his experience on the loss of his Dad and Mom. He is very generous in sharing his true self with people. ♥️

I cried when he cried about loosing his parents. I lost my mom 14 years ago to cancer and my dad 11 months ago 😢 I miss them a lot. Love them so much I hope we can meet up someday ❤❤
