In his best selling book, "Start With Why", Simon Sinek reminds us that everything we do flows out of some motivation and at the heart of motivation is a "Why". It makes sense then, that as we grow and change in life, that our "Why" will grow and change as well. In fact, might it make sense then that without finding a new and improved "why" it is almost impossible to create the positive changes we desire. In this episode we are going to explore "why". Why did we do what we did? Why are we doing what we are doing now? What is it that we want going forward? Clarity is the key. We often don't know what our "WHY" is. The key is motivation, what is motivating you to do what you are doing and for what end purpose or reward?
What happens when you achieve everything you set out to, and still feel empty? In this conversation with Simon Sinek, he shares the painful turning point that led to Start With Why, how ADHD became his greatest asset, and why so many exceptional leaders carry hidden struggles. The answers aren't in performance, they're in self-awareness, vulnerability, and knowing how to ask the right questions.Listen to the full episode here.Watch the full episode on YouTube here.***This episode is sponsored by Spatone – the No.1 iron-rich water supplement.This is a product I genuinely believe in — one I've used personally and recommended in the clinic for years.

In this powerful conversation, Michael D. Levitt and branding expert Barry LaBov explore the critical role of differentiation in today's hyper-competitive and fast-moving business world. It's not about being the biggest or best in every category—it's about being unmistakably you. The Human Edge of Differentiation Barry opens with a compelling take: while modern tools have made producing fast, mediocre content easier, what sets brands apart today is authenticity and humanity. He warns that failing to stand out leads to commoditization, lower profits, and disengaged teams. The takeaway? Know what makes you unique—and amplify it with intention. Purpose Starts with "Who Are We?" Michael shares a story from a nonprofit healthcare board meeting where a simple but profound question was raised: “Who are we?” That moment sparked a conversation about alignment, identity, and clarity. He reminds leaders to pause regularly, assess direction, and stay grounded in purpose. Barry echoes this, referencing Simon Sinek's “Start With Why,” but adds: you also need to clearly explain what you do and how it fulfills that purpose. Belief Begins Within Barry shifts the focus inward, discussing how employee belief in a company's mission and differentiation directly impacts its longevity—citing that 16 of 17 startups fail within 10 years. His latest book, written during the COVID-era resignation wave, focuses on helping companies win hearts and minds through internal and external clarity. Real-world stories and practical frameworks help teams rediscover what makes them special. Small Shifts, Big Impact Michael dives into adaptability with a brilliant metaphor: changing the lighting in a room can completely alter its feel without replacing the furniture. In the same way, businesses often need thoughtful tweaks—not complete reinventions. He also addresses current workplace trends—like post-2021 turnover and return-to-office debates—urging leaders to listen to their people and lead with empathy and internal communication. Say It Like You Mean It Wrapping up, Barry and Michael discuss how language shapes culture. Self-deprecating phrases like “best kept secret” can quietly undermine confidence inside and outside the organization. Instead, leaders should communicate honestly and boldly about their value—without veering into ego. Michael even mentions recommending Barry's book to a client struggling with this exact challenge. Key Takeaways: True differentiation stems from authenticity, not superiority. Purpose is revealed by asking the hard questions—internally and externally. Your team must believe in what sets your organization apart. Minor shifts in leadership and culture can produce major results. How you describe your business matters—internally and externally.

Sometimes in life, we must stop and ask ourselves, “Where am I you going next?” Other times, it's more fun to do a podcast takeover.No one has ever interviewed me quite like Cal Fussman. Cal has a gift – he pulls things out of you that you didn't even know were there. A prolific Writer At Large for Esquire, Cal has interviewed legends like Muhammad Ali and Mikhail Gorbachev, and he's the host of the podcast Big Questions. So, to mark 15 years since writing Start With Why, I invited Cal to take over my podcast and ask me the questions I don't usually get asked.Cal did get me to open up in this conversation, but not in the way you might expect. We talk about where I've been, where I'm going, the infinite game, creativity in AI…and why I've become so obsessed with friendship lately.This…is A Bit of OptimismFor more on Cal and his work, check out:Big Questions with Cal Fussman

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!

Transcript with Audio Description: [MUSIC IN - GHOSTHOOD FEATURING SARA AZRIEL “LET'S GO” BEGINS] MARY: AI, artificial intelligence. People love it or they're afraid of it. On one hand it's this shiny new object, people flock to it. It's been helping us write better, maybe give us ideas and do that basic level of tasks that sometimes we don't want to do. But then on the other hand, it's the thought of robots taking over the world, making decisions that might be wrong, or even, gasp, replacing actual humans. So yes, I too all those fears and the shiny new object syndrome more so the fears though. So I haven't really been jumping on the AI bandwagon. And yet when I look at the nitty gritty side of things that I do, a lot of it is AI involved. You know, there's a lot of automations and workflows that are just always happening in the background for me. So why are we so scared? Amanda Cupdio tells us that it's the generative AI that has us all fearful. The generative part, that's the AI that's gotten very, very good lately. So I wanted to know more about it to A, calm my fears, but also my curiosity to it for the whole side of podcasting. Amanda came into my world through a mutual podcasting friend shout out to Aaron Johnson. Not only is Amanda an award winning podcast producer, TEDx speaker, and an entrepreneur, founder and CEO of Lead Podcasting, Amanda is also the author of the Amazon number one bestseller Let's Talk Podcasting: The Essential Guide To Doing It Right and now a kids' version of that book too. And if all of that wasn't enough to keep her busy, to top it all off, she's helping the next generation of podcasters as an adjunct professor to redefine the radio courses at both Seneca Polytechnic and Toronto Metropolitan University. To top it all off yet again is also teaching a new generative AI course at Seneca, which is the thing that piqued my interest and why I really wanted to get her thoughts on how AI can be good for podcasting, so that we're not so afraid of what's to come. I also have such a love for her because we both are former radio people and she was the first woman to be a program director at a talk radio station in Toronto. Which really blows my mind because Toronto is the biggest market in Canada and this milestone is actually relatively new in our recent history, so how is that still possible? But kudos to her. Congrats on that one. Okay, back to the topic at hand. Whether you are using AI or not in your podcast, in your podcast workflow, in the creation of your show, you are really going to enjoy this chat because, like I said, AI is a part of our podcasting world. So we need to be aware of how it's impacting our space and what unfolds for the industry itself and for the next generation of podcasters. This is episode number 95 with Amanda Cupido on The Podcaster's Guide to a Visible Voice. > MARY: Thank you so much for listening to the Podcaster's Guide to a Visible Voice. If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love it if you'd share it with a podcasting friend. And to reveal more voicing and podcasting tips, click on over to VisibleVoicePodcast.com. Until next time.

Karen Suarez: "You're Not Listening": A Scrum Master's Wake-Up Call Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Karen shares a valuable learning experience when she pushed her team too hard to split user stories and change their story writing approach. The team's feedback was direct: "You are not listening." This moment taught Karen several important lessons: not everyone is ready for change at the same time, resistance often contains valuable information about our own actions, and the Scrum Master isn't always the one who knows better. Karen emphasizes the importance of giving yourself time to pause, reflect, and adapt to the team's current situation. She also discovered how the product backlog can serve as a powerful communication tool when used properly. In this segment, we refer to the book Start With Why by Simon Sinek. Self-reflection Question: When was the last time you received pushback from your team, and what information might that resistance be telling you about your own approach?
