    I am wiping back tears after watching this video because as someone who has recently been diagnosed with ADHD, I feel seen. We all aspire to Simon's level of "brilliance" and it's such a comfort to have him share his status. I hope I can find more content discussing his neurodivergence. I have been playing this interview in dribs and drabs for over a week so I can savour all the gems.

      Don't let the world label you "ADHD". Understand this, weakness is sometimes in fact a strength. Labels don't help, they help the medical department make more money tho. A smart and intelligent person can be fool by his own intelligence that he need no advice from those around him and becomes deaf to the truth around him ... strength turning into a curse.

I have been depressed and wondering why I have a lack of motivation to actually get out there and take the steps towards doing what I love and having a purpose in life while I’m doing it. This is Big for me, but just the first step. I appreciate your platform of honesty and how you always bring to life our thoughts, the unspoken truth of our lives. You say it out loud. I also appreciate your sacrifice which is giving your time in order to help us inner-stand our own purpose and meaning to life. This is beautiful. Thank you 🤎✨

    18:50 - Finally, a simple explanation of what meditation is and how to do it.
    19:42 - How to be a real friend.
    20:51 - This is your higher purpose.
    52:48 - You can learn to be uncomfortable.
    1:11:03 - Not all stress is bad.

    • @chrisklugh
      @chrisklugh Před 3 měsíci +5

      Me too. Cause I notice that I don't ask for help anymore. Like its been a trend for me in the past 10+ years. I don't know if I'm being defensive, or if this is the absolute truth, but I don't trust anyone. Asking for help is followed up by how much its going to cost me. Everything is monetized. There is no community of people anymore. Friends are not the friends I had 10+ years ago. Back in the day we invested our Social Capital in each other. No one does that anymore.
      I live with 3 roommates and they are strangers too me. We rarely see each other in person. The only thing I see is the mess they leave behind. I've grown very resentful to strangers. Stranger Danger. Everyone is out for themselves. I blame our addiction to the internet for that. Nothing has socially divided us then anything else. Nothing created more loneliness then the addiction everyone has to be alone with their screens.

      @@chrisklugh I get your POV. I understand but blaming things is sign of unmature (sorry if it sound harsh) If you want some advice, try to give some gift or cook something to eat together. Maybe it'll be little awkward but you'll overcome it eventually. But don't get too stress when things going south as we know there will be some drama, and so on, you name it. Good luck mate.

    • @chrisklugh
      @chrisklugh Před 2 měsíci

      @@isyrafismail7801My point is based on the lack of social investment people put in others. Everyone is a revolving door. People come, people go. We don't settle in and build lasting relationships anymore. So in the mean time, people are minimizing what they do for others. I know I'm guilty of this too. But as long as we have minimal engagement with others, were going to minimize the risks of doing favors for them. It has come down to how much are you going to pay me to be your friend. Cause pizza and beer is not enough of a payment when asking a 'friend' in time of moving. They are too busy or comparing it to a days work in pay. Between monetizing everything and apps, there is no more human connection anymore. Only Rich people have friends it seems. Poor people are just junkies looking for a fix. The middle class is too busy being online. And nobody really gives a shit about anyone but themselves.

    I'm not even halfway through and I couldn't agree more with the wisdom being shared. Awareness of your "why" coupled with action leads to self-truthfulness and an authenticity led life. Here we find our purpose. Here we find service, and true love can only exist in spaces of unconditional love and understanding. And all these things, as Simon stated, require sacrifice. This is the space most fertile for growth. Such potent reminders, super grateful for this podcast. A space perfectly held!

    Oh wow thank you Simon! I've never understood why I can't and will not read. I'm dyslexic and was so short-sighted as a child that I had a learning disability and came last in class every year from grade 1-5. When an eye doctor came to my school, it was then that I realized that it was not my brain, but my eyes. I went home and relearned everything, reading, writing, presenting, and came 2nd in class the end of that year. Since then I've gone from failure to heightened intelligence that I cannot explain where the ideas and knowledge comes from, yet today I've learned that it's my truth that is service to others. Service to humanity is the only thing that matters at the end of the day.

I have bookshelves packed with books that I bought because I want the information that is inside them, but I just can't stay concentrated when reading. It is very encouraging to hear such an intelligent and articulate man as Simon Sinek has the same issue. Discovering Audible has been a gamechanger for me, as I listen much better than I read, and I can do it in the car, while doing chores etc.

Love listening to his podcasts as he uses the pauses very well, giving time for himself to speak out the ideas thoroughly and, most importantly, all his interviews are so comfortable to listen to!

    Gosh, know how much i find it difficult to read, but very eager to learn, I have learned so much on youtube, masterclass, udemy courses and alot of audiobooks. I thought something was wrong with me when i struggled to finish a book, and Simon is 100% exactly like me, loves learning and never stop asking why.
    Thank you for yet another great episode Steven

    Truly appreciate the focus placed on the value of kindness, compassion, being of service to another, delayed gratification, having courage to care enough to have uncomfortable conversations ... and the point that societally we fail to prepare children for adult life with the skills necessary for complex interpersonal relationships, like critical thinking, conflict resolution, effective listening

    Such value in these kind of talks and the fact that's "for free" is event mind-blowing that not more people are listening.
    I would LOVE to be so lucky to attend such conversations although that would mean to travel from Jersey to London and take time away from work ❤️
    I've firstly came across you as a dragon and really admired you for what you've achieved and the way you talk no only to the attendees but to the dragons too.
    Keep this up, you're both brilliant and I know you both know that but really the impact of it on 'us' is far more than you both imagine
    Lots of respect and love

  • @esthermwangi5532
    @esthermwangi5532 Před rokem +8

    Amazing, lots of things to learn, unlearn and re-learn, always from this podcast. What stood out for me is
    1. being comfortable with having uncomfortable conversation. That is acquiring conflict resultion skills.
    2. Self awareness is the basis of personal growth.
    3. Truth is exhibited from letting people help you. Asking for help is a form of service because you are allowing someone else to experience the joy of doing so. Not asking for help is actually a selfish act.
    4. How do I take care of those closest to me? to ensure my tribe is strong
    5. The tree of monkeys in the co-operate space....lol
    6. Replacing judgement with curiosity.
    7. Practice being honest. Truth does not have to be brutal.

    I'm suppose to be preparing for a french tour that I will be conducting tomorrow but I stumbled onto this interview of Simon Sinek! and just had to finish it. What a man! Everytime I listen to him I just think about my life and WHY? Am I doing what I am doing. Something I have struggled with is dating someone serioulsy and truly being in love and knowing why I am dating the woman that I am dating...Long story short ...this was very helpful. I conclude that the point is to be with someone whom I would be of service to in terms of helping them be who they really are and vice versa. Thank you The Diary of A CEO team and thank you Simon Sinek...This is my top episode for now :)...Now I'm going to take a 30 min nap and continue with the french tour! :)

    Knowing he doesn’t usually read through most books is liberating for me! I really don’t know how to sit and read, I really wish I did. So I made it through school by listening and talking, group discussions etc. My attendance is as close to perfect as possible because I need to listen to understand and remember.
    It’s beautiful to know you can do pretty well despite this situation. Thank you 🙏🏼

    From as much as has been said by Simon Sinek in this interwiew, his sense of humour and devout sense of self in explaining the truths of life in accordance to relationships, occupations, personalities and other reality based situations in impact with all that happens around one, is in itself the true power to set one free and be honest with themselves, and not only that, but in finding their one true purpose in life. So amazing👏👏

  • @debs6182

    I love watching Steven 'get it' when one of his guests says something that strikes a chord with him. You can instantly see that Steven is mentally making a note to check his own actions, behaviours etc. It makes you feel like you're in the room with him and his guest, and helps the viewers get another level of teaching, and nudging us all to seek that level of authenticity and levelling up of our own actions etc. I loved this interview in particular as Simon has a knack of breaking it down to layman's terms for everyone to enjoy. Excellent interview. Thank you to all involved, in front of and behind the camera.

    I’ve been reflecting on how much connection I have to this Podcast. I was fortunate enough to see Steven Bartlett speak live at HubSpot Inbound 2023, his ability to captivate is in a rarefied atmosphere. One thing that kept coming up for me is how brilliant the name is “The Diary of a CEO”.
    It inherently is grounded in openness, and invitational. We’re seeing behind the curtain. That comes through in the guest’s delivery, but also delivers on what was discussed on this episode around truth seeking.
    I’m hooked! Kudos all around.
    This was the best dialogue I’ve seen with Simon to date.

    Really interesting episode! I love Simon's work - the last 15 minutes of this podcast was the most interesting as it seems rare for Simon to give insight into himself. He ends up reframing or rephrasing questions to avoid revealing too much into himself, the person, rather the things he researches about. The ADHD reveal was a relief as what he described is exactly how I am. By revealing this about himself its made him more relatable.

    What Simon said about covid is so true. I was in a job that i didnt necessarily like but i stuck to it because leaving to do something new was too a big a jump. I was furloughed then made redundant, bounced about a few labouring jobs to help make ends meet. Eventually i got a job i love and im so interested in. Sometimes when the jump seems to big it may not be that big after all

    Yet another soul-filling interview. I shared the part where Simon spoke of his difficulty reading books with my son as he struggles the same way. I'm always telling and showing my son how he just needs to accept who he is and not shame himself for not being what he thinks is good or important. Seeing him nod and smile when Simon shared his story made my heart very happy. And the part about the Da Vinci Code cracked me up because I told my son earlier this month that one book I KNOW he could read and love would be The Divinci Code because of the same reasons Simon shared. Thank you for doing what you do Steven. You & Simon helped my son accept himself a little more today.
