Get my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!I am so excited to welcome back Simon Sinek who, renowned for his groundbreaking "Start With WHY" concept, reveals how modern capitalism has sacrificed ethics for profit in our increasingly binary world. He shares a raw moment about continuing a business relationship with someone his gut warned him against, costing him years of regret. Simon explains why we crave connection yet sacrifice friendships for success, and breaks down how our biology drives us to serve others—not just chase achievements. His practical conflict resolution strategies offer a refreshing alternative to our culture of comparison, showing how leaders can rebuild trust by protecting their people rather than their bonuses.Simon Sinek’s Optimism CompanySimon’s podcast A Bit of OptimismSimon’s book Start with Why 15th Anniversary Edition: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take ActionSimon’s book Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don'tSimon’s book The Infinite GameIn this episode you will learn:Why competition drives innovation but succeeding at others' expense destroys societyHow modern capitalism broke when companies prioritized shareholders over customers and employeesThe biological reason service to others delivers more lasting happiness than personal achievementA proven conflict resolution method: respond to emotions with emotions, facts with factsWhy lasting success comes from articulating a vision that extends beyond your lifetimeFor more information go to https://www.lewishowes.com/1762For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you’ll love:Muniba Mazari – greatness.lnk.to/1684SCMark Manson – greatness.lnk.to/1750SCMel Robbins – greatness.lnk.to/1761SC Get More From Lewis!
