“True teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create their own.” Nikos Kazantzakis

One of the best things about Simon is he tells you why, and then follows it by "let me give you an example."

Great video coverage traders show incredible resilience and discipline in the volatile market, masterfully balancing strategy and insight for success. Their dedication to continuous learning is inspiring. I'm especially grateful to Shea Ardolf, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape.

[Remotalks]

I loved the interview! One key takeaway for me was the importance of catching team members doing things right and reinforcing positive behavior. It’s such an effective way to encourage and motivate the team.

[BrettBolwell]

Thank you Simon this is learning that moves me beyond traditional finite management approaches to create a workplace environment where people thrive.

@34:20 honestly I've heard Simon explained his way of telling "why" many many times over, but it never clicked, until just now. I guess the only thing stopping me thinking about my true why is "fear". Fear that what I believe will bring me down to almost zero but I have my family to look after. I have faith that one day, a door will open for me.

This was so enlightening and profound! Thank you!

49:12 Indian movie Bahubali 2, Jay jay Kara song has the same scene shown in the movie.Thank you Simon from India.

[BeAlphaX]

Thank you so much for this informative realization. I always support and stunned on every teaching you have...

[ArAbramov]

It was very good and well said. I will follow up his leadership.

[williamsmith]

I can't find my why because none of my friends will entertain the question that long

[rayleneberryman]

Marcus Buckingham is great on feedback.

[cyberlycans]

Disagree with Simon regarding the role at least by name of ceo, his assertion that you don't know what a CEO does by the name chief executive officer. Maybe he's thinking of executive as an adjective, but executive function if you think back to what it refers to with respect to the corporal, means the person who coordinates the efforts of the various parts into a highly efficient and effective whole. So in that sense a chief executive officer is the person who coordinates the efforts of the many to benefit the overall single body IE the corporation

[alexfrog]

Simon, you are sounding increasingly more aggravated talking about the Infinite Game as time goes on. It sounds to me like you are feeling that people still aren't getting it, although your facial expressions don't support that. Maybe you have lost your passion again. Hope you're ok!

[Zutraxi]

The interviewer seems very nervous or not practiced.

[Zutraxi]

I don't like these talks where the other speaker has to talk about how they do things.
Feels awfully much like they don't get it
