Episode notes

Maintaining close ties and a familial experience within a company becomes challenging as it grows beyond 150 employees, known as Dunbar's Number. Businesses often face communication issues and a decline in collaboration as they expand. It is crucial to consider the well-being of employees, their families, and their job satisfaction when scaling a company. Keeping divisions small, like around 150 people, can enhance information exchange, machine operation, and foster a sense of togetherness.

What if the secret to a fulfilling life was simpler than you thought? My guest Simon Sinek offers a visionary perspective on transforming work into a source of passion and purpose. Simon believes we all have the capacity to live inspired, safe, and fulfilled lives, yet too many are deprived of this. He may be best known for starting a movement with his TED talk and book Start With Why, which explores how great leaders inspire action by putting purpose before product. He’s gone on to write global bestsellers like Leaders Eat Last and The Infinite Game, sharing his insights on creating fulfillment in business and life.

In this powerful conversation, Simon shares practical wisdom on building environments where we and others can thrive, along with insightful stories. His message: bringing care, dignity, and connection to everything we do allows us to live our best lives.
