443: Why Simon Sinek Says There’s No Winning in Business

Meet the business behind the name. In 2009, Simon Sinek gave a TED Talk that has since become one of the most-watched videos of all time on TED.com, with 37 million plus views. His talk spurred NY Times best-selling books, speaking engagements, consulting gigs with globally-recognized brands, a podcast, a publishing arm, and viral quotes shared across social media. And it all started with the question–why? 

Listen to Nathan and Simon discuss:

• What he learned from growing up internationally 
• Why he fell out of love with his first business
• Finding his why concept and sharing it with others
• How his time with military leaders inspired Leaders Eat Last
• Why there’s no such thing as “winning business”
• Why optimism
• Building a business around a personal brand
• What’s the most important thing for an entrepreneur 
• And much more advice on purpose…
