273. Simon Sinek, Find Your Why! | Framgångspodden | Full Interview

it's probably the world's simplest idea I call it the Golden Circle why how what this little idea explains why some organizations and some leaders are able to inspire where others aren't life is hard work is hard and we need each other and we don't build trust by offering help we build trust by asking for it and so we've literally created cultures in which every single day everybody comes to work lies hides and fakes and we're asking our youngest generation to work and succeed and find themselves and build their confidence and overcome their addiction to technology and build strong relationships at work we're asking to do this and these the environments we've created we keep saying to them you're the future leaders we're the leaders now after empathy comes perspective where it's not about winning or losing in game theory there are two kinds of games there are finite games and there are infinite games and this is how you're gonna change your perspective welcome none other than simon Sinek to fram dongs poem it's honor time here thanks for having me one of the things that I'm very interested in is morning routines what is your morning routine something to put you in a good mode I mean I know this question sort of gets asked my morning routine is not particularly special or unusual I mean I do wake up and make sure to have breakfast I like breakfast in the morning but other than that it's relatively normal okay I want to start with some rapid-fire questions sure Game of Thrones or Star Wars that's unfair I was as soon as you said Game of Thrones I was like oh easy and then you said Star Wars that's just unfair I would say Star Wars for nostalgia but Game of Thrones is sort of my modern my modern nerd love beer or wine wine Scrabble or just Scrabble do you play chess I know how to play chess but I'm good at Scrabble yeah they were good I were a third best chess player in Sweden for my H when I was 13 amazing yeah if you have some time we can play later no you'll destroy me I can't think more than one move ahead so I'm not a very the whole idea of chess is to think ahead I can't do it though okay the next one Captain America or Batman oh that's a hard one I'd say mmm Captain America biggest pet peeve my biggest pet peeve is people who have wireless for the you know bluetooth and yet they still hold their phone up and talk to them all right London or New York I mean New York smile of Donald Trump or Obama I'm okay with whoever's the leader of the country to be inspired or to inspire that's a tricky one as well not mutually exclusive I have to be inspired to inspire and to inspire inspires me so not mutually exclusive right favorite book you don't a peek one man's search for meaning Viktor Frankl you said that this journey with y-yes thought with the play personal pain for a moment yes what was that so I lost my passion for my own work which was embarrassing because superficially my life was pretty good I own my own small business we had good clients we did good work but I didn't want to wake up and go to work anymore and so I kept that to myself and so all of my energy went into pretending that I was happier more successful and more in control than I felt which was pretty draining to be honest and it was only and when a friend came to me and said I'm worried about you did I did I come clean and tell her how I really felt and it lifted a weight off my shoulders and gave me the energy to find a solution and the solution I found was this thing called the Y yeah I mentioned in your book that about friend exercise oh the friend exercise yeah to find your way yeah oh yeah so a fun way to find your wire at least to get some sense of it is to go to a friend who you love and who loves you a friend who you could call him at any time of the day or night and they would absolutely be there to help you you don't do this with a spouse don't do this with a those relationships are too close but a best friend and ask them the question why are we friends and they're gonna look at you like you're crazy because you're asking them to put into words a feeling and the part of the brain that controls our feelings doesn't control language so they're gonna look at you and say I don't know and then you play devil's advocate you say come on what is it about me that is so special that I know that you'd be there for me no matter what and they'll start describing you you're funny you're honest I can count on you and you have to play devil's advocate you say good that's the definition of a friend what is it about me that I know you'd be there for me no matter what and again this will go on and on and you play devil's advocate and eventually they will give up and eventually they would describe themselves my friends said to me I don't know all I know is I can be in a room with you and I feel inspired I don't even have to talk to you and I got goose bumps so eventually when your friends start describing something about themselves and you have an emotional response whether you get goose bumps are you well up with tears whatever it is that's proof that the thing that they have said is the value you have in their lives so that's that's what your why is it's it's quarter your being you'll have an emotional response and I asked multiple friends and all my friends tell me the exact same thing that's how I knew I was on some on to something yeah it's a fun exercise do you have some other exercise you recommend to to find your way well there's multiple ways you can do it I mean I just gave you one fun way um you know we that's one of the things we do as a company is we help we help people find their way but we try and do it as we want to make it as accessible as possible you know so clearly it's not available to everybody to have a human being come to your home of your office to do it with you and so we have the Y Discovery course on our on our website I published a book called find your why and then there's the friend exercise we've try and make it as available as possible to as many people as possible because the goal really is that everybody can find their why so I don't want it to be something exclusive you know that really upsets me so we've yeah so everything from free all the way up to to an individual consultation and everything in between is available not felt about that how many Y's can you do you have a human being can only have one only what incuse change why no you are who you are we are the products of our upbringing you know we are the sum total of the experiences we had when we were children and where our personalities are fully formed by the you know by the time we're probably in our mid to late teens and that's what the why is the why is who you are at your core who you are at your natural best the rest of our lives simply offer us opportunities to live in balance with our Y so no you cannot change your Y just like you cannot change who you are you can improve who you are you can lived here you can you can try to be your best self but it's it's you so we only have one y which i think is so and when people define their Y or to find their companies Y based on a based on something they do you're definitely not there you know like my Y is to help my customers find bla bla bla no that's not your why it's just something you do and what is your why to inspire people to do the things that inspire them so together each of us can change our world for the better it drives me it's the foundation of everything I do an latest book that we launched in October the infinite game Inc October 15th yeah after 15 has already made an immense impact on the world thus far if you explained the difference between finite and infinite strategy sure so according to a theologian named James Carr C who wrote a book in the mid-80s here he framed two kinds of games if you had to have at least one competitor if there's at least one other player a game exists and there are two types of games there are finite games and they're infinite games a finite game is defined as known players fixed rules and agreed upon objective football right there's a beginning there's a middle and there's an end yeah right an infinite game is defined as known and unknown players new players can join at any point the rules are changeable and the objective is to perpetuate the game to stay in the game as long as possible and so if you think about it many of the games in which we are players are infinite games there's no such thing as winning marriage right there's no such thing as being number one in career like there's no winning career right and there's definitely no such thing as winning global politics and there's definitely no such thing as winning business but if you listen to the language of too many leaders they don't know the game they're playing they talk about being number one being the best and beating their competition based on what based on what metrics based on what agreed-upon timeframes and so the problem is is if you play in an infinite game with a finite mindset there's a few very predictable and consistent outcomes decline and Trust decline in cooperation decline in innovation and so if we are players in an infinite game and the problem is we're playing with a finite mindset I set out to write about what it means to play with an infinite mindset which means completely rearranging the way in which we understand how not only business works but how we play the game of business and other things all the infinite games because the thing is we're more players and multiple infinite games at the same time and you know if we if you play by the with the right mindset for the game you're in you'll enjoy much more trust much more cooperation much more innovation so that that's what the infinite game is all about you had a speak yeah against the worse Microsoft and Apple oh yeah so I had a real life experience that helped me understand the difference between finite and infinite games I spoke at a at an education summit for Microsoft and I also spoke at an education summit for Apple at the Microsoft summit mmm 70 80 percent of the executives spent the vast majority of their presentations talking about how to beat Apple or is it the Apple summit a hundred percent of the executives spent a hundred percent of their time talking about how to help teachers teach and how to help students learn West live difference so it was really funny because one clearly was playing with a finite mindset and one was clearly playing with an infinite mindset at the end of my talk at Microsoft they gave me a gift they gave me the Zune when it was a thing this was Microsoft's answer to the iPod and it was fantastic it was a beautiful piece of technology extremely well at the end of my Apple talk I I was sitting in a taxi with a senior Apple executive and I couldn't help myself I had to just stir the pot and I turned him and I said you know Microsoft gave me their new Zune and it is so much better than your honor and he looked at me and he said I have no doubt and the conversation was over and this is what it means to have an infinite mindset it means you understand that sometimes your product is better and sometimes your competitors product is better and the goal is not to win or beat your competition the goal is to outlast them there's a head and behind that's all but there's no winning and that relaxed attitude proves that the only true competitor in the infinite game is yourself how do we make our products better than they were last year how to make our service better than it was last year how do we make our culture stronger this year than it was last year our leaders better this year than they were last year that's the only true competition and do you have an advice for them the companies that want to play the infinite game what well it takes it takes multiple things you have to have a Just Cause you have to know in other words a vision of the future and idealized vision of the future that you you are you've committed your entire organization to help advance something so just that you would willingly sacrifice for it meaning you might turn down a better paying job or you take frequent business trips or you work late and that doesn't mean you like those things but it feels worth it you need to have trusting teams people who willingly admit mistakes around each other ask for help without any fear of humiliation or retribution you have to have trusting teams you have to have a wordy rival you have to have a another player or players that you can compare yourself to where their strengths reveal to you your weaknesses so you find out where you can improve benchmarks you know the goal is not to beat them the goal is to use them to learn more about ourselves what is it open playbook there's a existential flexibility is what it's called is the willingness to make a profound shift in strategy in order to advance your your cause there's the famous story of Steve Jobs in 1979 with some of his senior executives they visits visited Xerox PARC and Xerox showed them a technology they'd invented called the graphic user interface now remember Steve Jobs had a just cause he wanted to empower individuals to stand up to the two big brother to the status quo and clearly the computer was an amazing technology to help him do that and this graphic user interface would allow way more people to use a computer just by clicking a mouse on the screen as opposed to having to learn the whole computer language which is how it was back then and so as they were leaving Xerox he said to his people we have to invest in this and somebody in the group said we can't we've already already invested millions of dollars and countless man-hours in a different direction if we invest in this graphic user interface we'll blow up our own business to which jobs said better we should blow it up blow it up than someone else and that decision became the Macintosh hmm which profoundly changed computing today you know the entire platform of Windows is designed to act like a Macintosh so his willingness to make that profound strategic shift and walk away from money already spent and time already spent is a perfect example of an existential flexibility and what about wordy rivals so as I said before where the rival is someone or an organization or a person who who's very strengths reveal to your weaknesses you know sometimes we have envy for them and sometimes they make us angry and sometimes we think we're trying to beat them but the reality is is we usually have an emotional response to them because they're good at what they do and it makes us feel insecure it makes us feel like we have work to do so instead of directing that energy against them rather we should express gratitude that they helped reveal to us our weaknesses so that we can work on them I want to jump into my favorite topic and that is success and you also have the five key factors for success like go after the things you want take accountability for your actions to care each other learn to speak last and be grateful what you have which one of them is hardest to achieve I think they're all they're all difficult and they all require practice and it depends on the person I think which one is most difficult I think in this modern day and age learning to speak last is a hard one for many people you know we're full of our own opinions and we all want to present our opinions but to learn to be the last to speak is powerful it comes from a story from Nelson Mandela he was a son of a tribal chief and then somebody and a journalist asked him how did you become such a great leader and he said when I was a boy I remember going to tribal meetings with my father and I remember two things one they always sat in a circle and two my father was always the last to speak and if you think about how we go into meetings you know especially if you're the senior person you say okay here's the problem here's what I think we should do but I want to know what you like well it's too late now you know you just you just muddied the waters so to to practice being the last to speak and not give any clues as to what you're thinking when people are you know no expression of agreement or disagreement but rather curiosity to show up to the conversation with curiosity to ask questions not to prove that someone's right or wrong because they agree or disagree with you but but rather because you're truly trying to understand how they came to their opinions the best thing is everybody feels included everybody feels heard and at the end of the day the senior person in the room gets more information even if they go with the original decision it's a much more inclusive way of working and at the end of the day they get they get the value of different perspectives which only makes for better decisions and how good are you to learn learn to speak last do you practice every day I mean I'm a better listener today than I used to be and I still have a lot of work to do I you know that this is the thing about the infinite game none of us is perfect or the best at anything the goal is only to be better you know I have good days and I have bad days but the goal is to strive to be better every day I'm definitely a better listener and listener now than I used to be for sure and what about golf today things things you want well the the the opportunity it's a very entrepreneurial mindset right it comes from a it's a funny lesson I learned when I was running I went for a run in Central Park with a friend and at the end of the run they had free bagels they just had boxes of bagels laid out on tables you know with volunteers on one side and a long line of runners on the other side so I said to my friend let's get a free bagel and he said no I wanna stand in the queue I said but yeah but there's a free bagel and he said no I don't know I don't wanna wait and I couldn't understand and I realized that there's different ways of viewing the world I could only see to the thing that I wanted and he could only see the thing that was preventing him from getting the thing that he wanted and you see that a lot in in the world in other things you know a good entrepreneur a good problem solver only sees the thing that they're after and makes every effort to try and get get there where I think people who don't take the entrepreneurial leap and by the way I don't believe that entrepreneurs are people who start small businesses there's a difference between being an entrepreneur and being a small business owner small business owners owned small businesses entrepreneurs solve problems and there are entrepreneurs who own small businesses but there are also entrepreneurs inside large companies they're problem solvers they think differently Richard Branson does not own a small business but he's absolutely an entrepreneur so let us not confuse the entrepreneurial mindset with small business owners they don't necessarily go together but the entrepreneur whether they're in a big company or a small company they see the thing that they're after and they try and get there whereas the more traditional mindset is to see the things that are preventing you from getting it and then not wanting to take the leap because one comes with risk and one doesn't I talked about entrepreneurship how do you define innovation to me innovation is the application of technology or engineering to solve a problem there has to be a problem to solve before you have innovation you know that just putting a flat screen on something or putting a battery in something doesn't make get innovative there's so many nonsense innovation so it's such just so much junk you know I mean yeah some of the apps I mean just look just get in a car like cars now have flat screens to control your air conditioning to control your radio what was wrong what what problem were they solving because you know the knob on the on the volume on my car on the radio and the switches and dials that controlled my my heating and air conditioning they worked just fine they never ever ever broke right so I want to know what problem they were solving that if it's an aesthetic issue if that's what they're solving for fine but if you think about it in so many cars it actually makes things worse you know the phone rings and you all of a sudden you lose control of the radio and you have to click back three screens and you can't you know you can't get the air condition it's ridiculous I like your toaster example oh yeah I mean if you go to any home where shop and you go to the toaster aisle not all toasters are created equal it turns out if you go to all the toasters and push up on the button only some of them go up that to me is an innovation that you can push your toast up and from the toaster you don't need a knife to get the toast out yeah that's innovation there's no spatter ease there's no flat screens there's no touchscreens but you can push up on the two that's innovation it solves a problem I can't get my toast out of a toaster that solves a problem so I think we're a little loose with the word innovation and I think too many companies think that by making something have bright lights and neon on it or you know it's innovative it's not it's just prettier do you have any questions that companies should ask themself about innovation well like I said I think the biggest question is what problem are we solving for what problem are we solving and if the answer is none then don't do it you know the amount of times we make innovative things it's just one more thing to break when you add a motor to something you add a flat it's just one more thing to break on touchscreen yeah so what problem are we solving so again if it's if it's inside a home if its aesthetic fine great but it has to it has to advance something has to move something it has to solve the problem otherwise that literally is just a waste of money and take care of each other yeah what about that we're social animals you know and by ourselves we're not that we're not that good human beings can't lift heavy weights by themselves and we can't consult complex problems by ourselves but together we are remarkable it's amazing what happens when a group of people with common cause come together with common beliefs of common values the way they work together the problems they solve everything great that ever happened in this world happened with a group of people not one maybe one person got the credit but rarely if ever is it someone working alone and I think we forget that I think that in this day and age especially with a lot of incentive structures and companies that are the only reward individual achievement rather than group achievement very often they accidentally create a culture in which we're actually working against each other or we hoard information because we think that that makes us more valuable and we try and be the smartest person in the room the best leaders I've ever met asked a ton of questions they open they freely admit they they have a lot to learn they freely admit that people on their team who are more junior than them know more than they do because people on the front lines tend to know more than the people in the back office you want to know about customer service go talk to the person who's on the on the who works in the shop who works on the front line don't ask a senior executive who's in charge of customer service they don't know they haven't done it for 20 years so the great executives the great the great leaders asked a ton of questions they visit the front lines they ask people they learn and they know that they don't know everything I admire that I also allowing to talked about about leadership and people over numbers here discuss this further we we live in a world in which unfortunately too many companies too many leaders would willingly sacrifice their people to protect the numbers you know you have annual annualized rely offs or redundancies just to meet the arbitrary projections that doesn't mean we're going to lose money it just means we'll be less and so we used the livelihood we use someone's livelihood we use their ability to provide for their families so that we can meet some arbitrary short-term goal which I find abhorrent the best companies in the world the ones that tend to outperform their competition over over the course of time prioritize the wants and needs of the individuals over the wants and needs of some arbitrary projection that doesn't mean they don't have goals of course they have goals but they're not willing to sacrifice their people simply to meet an arbitrary goal you don't use people to balance books that's what that means and too many organizations today use people as if they're just an another expense to be cut they're just they're just another cost they forget that they're people and it's a very finite mindset to think that way and those companies usually end up a lot weaker because every time they use people they weaken the culture every time Trust declines cooperation declines there's no way that the people would sacrifice for the company knowing full well that the company wouldn't sacrifice for them the leaders set the tone and if we say to the company if we say to the people we care about our numbers more than we care about your life well guess what they're gonna do the same they're gonna protect themselves more than they're gonna protect you so leaders set the tone every time yeah you said it's you never met a CEO that doesn't think the people are important the question is in what order right that's exactly right you know when I talk about putting people first as you said I've never met a CEO doesn't think their people are important you know they you know they always put there's my list of priorities growth you know customer my people there it is see I think they're important the problem is they're number three on the list which means there are at least two things that would be prioritized before the people our people have to come first you give some example and they're on big companies that put two people in front yeah there's there's a there's a lot of good examples there's a company called The Container Store which sells you know boxes and organizing equipment during the recession they had zero layoffs even though they lost 13 percent of their revenue Costco is another company virgin is very good there's plenty of good examples and these tend to be the companies we like the most these tend to be the companies that we feel very strongly towards we have a loyalty towards them we love them even the problem is we need more of them we need more companies like that those those companies are the exceptions they need to be the rule you also discuss intensity versus consistency in company's relationships workouts what are your thoughts on this so whenever there are decisions to be made there's dynamics right there's consistency in there's intensity it's like brushing your teeth you know you go to the dentist twice a year if that's all you do those are acts of intensity easily scheduled easily measured predictable results if that's all you do your teeth will fall out so we have to brush our teeth consistently now what is brushing your teeth do for two minutes nothing well there's nothing unless you do it twice a day every single day can you leave a day out if you're too tired and you don't feel like brushing your teeth yeah that's fine how many days can I skip I don't know just don't do it too much yeah that's the thing this is what consistency is consistency is about steady build and consistency is often more important than intensity you can't go to the gym and get in shape by working out for nine hours but if you work out every single day for 20 minutes you absolutely will get into shape the problem is in businesses we tend to rely on consistency too we tend to rely on intensity to solve problems we have a leadership problem we have a two-day off-site and we have a couple of speakers and now everybody's a leader no leadership is a practice that we have to do every single day it's like any kind of relationship you know we fall in love with someone and they fall in love with us not because of the acts of intensity not because we remember their birthday or buy them flowers on Valentine's Day but because we do little things every day we say good morning before we check our telephone you know we when they say can I tell you something we turn the television off and we look them in the eye and say what's on your mind you know it's these little things that by themselves they do nothing but over the course of time if we do them consistency they produce intense feelings of love and trust it's the same in any kind of relationship whether it's personal or professional it's the act of consiste see that a leader must do on a daily basis walking through the hole saying hello saying how are you and actually caring about the answer making eye contact you know putting your phone away when you're in a meeting do these things every day and they have a remarkable remarkable and powerful impact we cannot solve human problems with acts of intensity it takes acts of consistency acting consistently I should say yeah how would you describe millennial generation they're very nice people yeah I think what you're referring to is I gave a I gave an answer to the question about what other people call the Millennial problem right that apparently a young generation an entire generation is unbeatable which of course is nonsense so I offered a perspective which is based on empathy which is trying to understand an entire generation and you have to remember people get very upset at me when I make generalizations about a generation they say you can't make generalizations about an entire generation of course you can because each generation comes of age were in their certain world events that happen which affect who we become they affect our our viewpoint and our perspective you know our grandparents who lived through this during the Second World War many of them are miserly and frugal because they lived through rations well it's nothing because of their personality there's nothing wrong with them it's because they grew up during the war that's why so of course you can make generalizations about an entire generation and the millennial generation which is a group of people born approximately 1984 through 2004 approximately came of age they're the first generation to come of age were cell phones and social media were ubiquitous they were they were already built into their lives for the most part when they came of age men and when they were teenagers and so there's some common factors that exist they tend to have an over reliance on social media and cell phones and the problem is both social media and cell phones are addictive they release a chemical in our body called dopamine every time the phone goes buzz or beep every time we get a notification it feels good it's the same chemical that's released when we drink alcohol when we smoke and when we gamble in other words in small doses feels good lots of fun unbalanced very very very addictive and very dangerous and hurts our relationships social media and cell phones can do that these things are important to consider I also think that this young generation of Millennials is has some huge advantages over all the older generations it's very accepting generation they don't care what your gender identity is they don't care what your sexualities they just it's just a big nothing they just nobody cares right I love that older generations are the ones who are all upset about things but young this young generation is very open-minded very open to people who don't look like them and don't sound like them much more inclusive as a generation again a generation that grew up in a world after September 11th so there's a sort of it's sort of a really remarkable and amazing thing I think we can learn a lot I think they're very good at personal branding they understand the importance of authenticity sometimes struggle with it some other challenges they have you know this pursuit to be vulnerable sometimes is a mistake and brené Brown talks about this this pursuit to be vulnerable they sometimes just go on YouTube and just put videos of them talking about themselves and crying and as brené Brown talks about you know revealing is not the same as vulnerable you know the revealing publicly is not the same as being vulnerable but I think this generation has an opportunity as well I think there's a lot of loneliness there seems to be definitely in the United States increased rates of anxiety depression and even suicide amongst this young generation and I think it's largely in part of an over reliance on social media and cell phones for feelings of worth so forth how many followers do I have how many likes did I get yeah check check check keep check and keep checking Kingdom check the old-time dopamine the whole time but also feelings of inadequacy if I don't get the kinds of followers you know I keep comparing myself and other people Teddy Roosevelt said the the death of joy comparison is the death of joy you know and it's very finite mindset going back to the original concept an infinite mindset is being grateful for the people who like me you know in a finite mindset is comparing how many people like me versus how many people like somebody else it's not a competition what is your advice for them we'll turn off notifications for one completely yeah you can leave them on for your text and you can leave them on for your calls but turn notifications off every app Instagram Facebook and computer everything will just turn off turn off all the notifications you'll check the email when you check the email you don't need Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing every time an email comes in so stressful not only does it stress out it's also distracting it takes a human brain about 20 minutes to get into deep thought to find flow and every time there's an interruption you have to restart so imagine if you were sitting on your computer trying to work something and every time I rang a bell you have to go to the fridge to look right and I can ring the bell whenever I want at some point you're never gonna get any work done that's your cell phone so when your cell phone has the notifications turn on sitting next your computer you'll never get into deep thought you'll never get into flow it's very very interruptive put the phone in airplane mode in a drawer out of sight there's plenty of data that shows that when we keep the phone in a different room we're actually more productive so whenever I'm going to a meeting whenever I have work to do I put my phone in airplane mode because then I know nothing's coming in and I'll check it later I check it when I have lunch you know and you find yourself being able to concentrate a lot better there should never ever ever be a cell phone out when you're at a meal with somebody or when you're in a meeting because it's grossly unfair to somebody that that there's this sense the subconscious message that I just don't think you're that important it's amazing how powerful it is when somebody simply puts their phone away when they're at dinner with us or at lunch with us friends colleagues whatever and definitely no cell phones and conference rooms there should never be a cell phone in a meeting again there's biology this is not my opinion there's good biology behind this and the people who do it demonstrate if there's a company that we know who banned cell phones in all their conference rooms and they saw meetings got shorter and they said the level of trust generally increased in the company amongst employees and with their clients simply from banning cell phones and meeting in meetings which i think is brilliant and your friends thus never have did a cell phone would you on dinner we yeah I mean there's always exceptions of course I mean it's about balance and the problem is were unbalanced you know if you're looking up a movie that you want to go to dinner char pull your phone out but it's the point of socializing with other people when you're with somebody else so ya know when we go up for dinner we leave our phones in our pockets absolutely what the ringers turned off yeah absolutely we do and if I'm eating locally sometimes I leave my phone at home or we leave our phones at home and we just got locally like what do we need our phone for we're walking to dinner we don't need it for anything we're not calling anybody we're not calling a nuber you know maybe we won't be able to take a picture of our food maybe bring one phone just for price just just just for food pictures a good phone with a nice camera exactly yeah you have another advice for not only the millennial generation over like yeah take care of each other life is hard work is hard and we need each other you know and we don't build trust by offering help we build trust by asking for it and I don't think we ask for help enough and when we do it's not necessarily real you know to really express fear and vulnerability and that we don't know something we don't know how to do something I think we need to do a better job of taking care of each other and helping each other succeed what would you like to accomplish next coming years I don't that's a I don't think that way you know I have a vision of a world that I want to live in just cause I imagine a world in which the vast majority of people wake up every single morning inspired they feel safe at work and they return home fulfilled at the end of the day and I've devoted my entire professional life to helping advance that world and I don't care what I have to do to get there all right I'll speak I'll teach I'll advise and I'll do a ton of other things that I haven't thought about yet and so for me it's about I measure I measure things in momentum and so the question is what do I hope to accomplish in the next few years is more momentum more solid momentum faster momentum more I don't have to necessarily be out there the whole time but the movement can progress without me that other people will join me so look for the means to invite people to join me in this cause offer guidance as much as I can how we can live this infinite mindset but it's all with it with an eye towards the vision so I tend to be very very devoted to the cause and less concerned about the path that I'll take to get there I'll figure it out thank you very much for taking the time thank you for having simon Sinek i really appreciate it thank you very much for helping me spread the message
