In this interview, Simon shares the story of the struggle he faced in his business that led him to write his seminal book “Start With Why” and the humbling experience with military members in Afghanistan that inspired him to write “Leaders Eat Last” to teach leaders how to create an environment that empowers humans to do remarkable things.
Simon Sinek believes in a bright future and our ability to build it together. Described as a visionary thinker with a rare intellect, Simon’s goal is to help build a world in which the vast majority of people go home every day feeling fulfilled by their work. He is the bestselling author of “Start With Why,” “Leaders Eat Last,” “Together Is Better,” “Find Your Why,” and “The Infinite Game.” He’s best known for popularizing the concept of WHY, which is one of the most watched TED Talks of all time. He speaks around the globe and has commented for local and national press, including the New York Times, Inc. Magazine, NPR, and Businessweek.
As Simon and Marie talk about his book “Leaders Eat Last,” you'll find new ways to become a great leader — in both business and life.

When Simon began talking about leaders who look after their people, I smiled becuase I know that my boss lives and breathes this ethos. I've never been so happy at a position in my life, and I unquestionably give 110%.
-
'Leadership is the practice of being of service to others." LOVE this message! Thank you Marie!
-
He has this strange combination of cute and sexy and manly and nerdy really working for him
-
Simon is a fabulous storyteller, really effective at delivering his message!
-
I appreciated much of what Simon Sinek said in this video, especially his last comments: Don't be intimidated by the fact that it’s an awesome responsibility. Just do little, little things to make the lives of the people around you better. And if you practice a lot, you get good at it.

As a small business owner, I found this so inspirational! It's so great to know that kindness and consideration makes someone a great leader!! That, I can do!!
-
I have found that business owners are afraid to take care of their people because they worry that in doing so, their people will take advantage of them and get lazy. In my own business and coaching sessions, I am constantly amazed at how badly people want to devote themselves to your cause when you stick your neck out for them. People value loyalty, especially when it comes from the leader. Thanks for the interview Marie. Simon is one of my favorite.

Can't stop thinking about how I can apply this to being a Mom. So often I am focused on managing the household and managing my kids instead of serving them and enabling them to do their "work" (growing up, developing, learning, becoming awesome people).
-
Wow. This interview blew my mind. I've never had a "regular" job where I've felt valued. (This was a big part of me creating my own thing) And as I continue to grow my own business I will keep this conversation close to my heart. Thank you Marie and Simon.

“The first thing was born out of pain”, can’t agree more!
-
I wish I could like this episode a thousand times. By far my favorite MarieTV episode and I've been watching for years.
-
you are now no longer responsible for the results you are now responsible for the people who are responsible for the results! So freakin on point SS!
-
Love listening to Simon speak. He breaks things down so logically.
-
It really leading from your heart...a great leader thinks, speaks and acts through his or her heart...understanding human being as the magnificent creation of God, having heart and soul...not a machine...

I saw Simon's name and clicked . . . everything he says sooo resonates with me. I don't see myself as a "leader" but I am in many ways. I'm a mom and although my son is 20 years old he still looks to me to lead in many ways. I'm a leader in many ways, in my marriage and in our business in some areas. I'm a leader in friendships when friends look to me for guidance. I'm not alone in this . . . all of us are leaders in many aspects in life. Listening to Simon will help me be a better leader in life . . . thank you Marie and Simon! xxoo
-
Wow. Very profound. Imagine a world where the people in charge understood half of these principles.
-
This is one of THE best leadership trainings I have ever heard, especially a sole proprietor. I've listened to a lot.
-
He is one of the best story tellers I've ever seen. Amazing guy, so grateful he's sharing his knowledge and experiences

Womaaan this made me cry so hard . I'm a veteran and I deployed twice. The first time three of my battle buddies lost their lives in which one was like my lil sister. A fellow Black woman... surrounded by hoah hoah men. It was so tough for us and still is.
