An Optimist's Approach to Work and Life | Full Interview

Progress is fueled by the undying belief that the future is bright.
Thank you to Jennifer Cohen for having me on her show to talk about what being an optimist really means.

Recorded with @habitsandhustle, November 2022

Simon is an unshakable optimist. He believes in a bright future and our ability to build it together.

Described as “a visionary thinker with a rare intellect,” Simon has devoted his professional life to help advance a vision of the world that does not yet exist; a world in which the vast majority of people wake up every single morning inspired, feel safe wherever they are and end the day fulfilled by the work that they do.

Simon is the author of multiple best-selling books including Start With Why, Leaders Eat Last, Together is Better, and The Infinite Game.

This is a great example for why you should be wearing headphones or have a third person there listening to make sure the audio won't end up almost inaudible.

Been following Simon since days of Covid and what hit me like a huge stack of Lego (being a huge huge fan and collector myself) was the fact how much I was able to relate with Simon, his talks, his patterns and his mindset! His talks made me realize so many issues and flaws I had and made me work on them and made me actually pull of 2 life changing things, all thanks to Simon's mindset. Honestly we ALL need a friend like Simon in our lives. Wish and hope he gets to see my comment and smiles knowing Simon has been able to change my life, block by block :)

The most interesting thing about this interview is that you could spot the communication skills between Simon and the interviewer. Simon didn’t self promote or place judgement on people or topic while she was all about that.

1.5 minutes in and everything you says already completely resonates with me 100% 🙌

[sandrineallaman]

Good to find someone who is able to put words or sentences on some feelings or emotions that we have. Thanks

[Littlewonder]

Simon’s microphone made me struggle to listen to this 😢
Nevertheless I love the way he expresses his ideas, each time I watch your videos or listen to your podcasts makes me want more and more of you ❤️

[rachelsukuna-duzz]

[quiza]

This is a very insightful conversation thanks Simon for extending your time and Jennifer for following through to bring out the best in the conversation! Good stuff!

[jiezzavhelrodriguez]

The interviewer is enormously impressive given that she genuinely kinda gave time to ask and get to know Simon, and let him talk/share about his personal things and likes; this rarely happens, so I'm truly impressed by her effectiveness in this show, particularly in this episode❤❤❤.

It’s easy to separate yourself from what you do when you’re a public speaker where you share ideas or anything that’s considered as “general” nowadays in comparison to something more specific (e.g. Surgeon)…. Anyhow, I like your optimism and I’ve been watching all your videos and listening to all your podcasts. Amazing speaker and wishing you all the best Simon.

[celinepaulino]

wow, “shared actualization” vs self actualization! very insightful and new concept to me. Thanks Simon!

[marcychavez]

Thank you for sharing, you are an incredibly motivating and inspiring human.

[sr.gerardasrsinaga]

[arjunawan]

Really appreciate this. Thanx Simon for your sharing. God Bless!

[nickcormier]

1 minute in and I've learned something new. This is going to be good!

[vinooshadoorga]

Dear Simon, really u r doing great work n contribute to make a positive impact on the world. As u change is constant can u make a podcast on leadership characteristics for the new industry 5.0. It will be great to hear u from this perspective. 😊

[shariazaman]

I love the candid talks of Simon agreeing with him almost always. Staring at the screen and nodding rigorously...surely inspired me

[alainjaotombo]

Simon is the best public speaker...Thanks a lot !!
