  • Simon is one of our all-time most requested guests, and today he shares incredibly practical & actionable advice on HOW to create meaningful goals, what 'purpose is' and finding your why. Hit like and subscribe, we bring several subscribers in every month to watch from behind the scenes 🙌🏽 (we’ve had more than 100 in so far!)
  • People pay top dollar to go listen to powerful individuals such as Simon and others that have been on this podcast and yet Steven is here giving us access for free. Thank you. Mondays are for The Diary of A CEO
  • " I don't think of myself as brilliant" One of the most truthful statements I keep close to my heart is "A wise man knows himself to be a fool, while the fools proclaim themselves to be wise"
  • I totally love Simon Sinek. His ability to steer the conversation in such a way that the next statement affirms the previous. Thank you Steven . I don't know why you started this show but I tell you it's one of the best things that has happened to this generation
  • I love how Steven gives his guest so much talking time and allow them to fully explore their thoughts after asking questions Such a great host Impeccable wisdom was shared throughout this interview. Gold.

    "Never asking for help is selfish." Well, that one hit me.

    Simon Sinek... I listen to a lot of podcasts on many channels. Simons talks are what changes things in me every time. There is so much feeling of authenticity and connections to what truly matters. And he is pointing on issues about things we see as the good things and how it often comes from selfish places. Self awareness... I aspire to stay self aware more in my life and get into the true Why s in my life... Thanks🙏
  • Thank you, Steven, and thank you, Simon. The DOAC is not a podcast. it's so much more. It is learning platform. These are the takeaways from this session that I'll be taking home: 18:50 - Finally, a simple explanation of what meditation is and how to do it. 19:42 - How to be a real friend. 20:51 - This is your higher purpose. 52:48 - You can learn to be uncomfortable. 1:11:03 - Not all stress is bad. 1:33:04 - Was your life worth living?
  • @StringsJohnny
    I have to pause it multiple times just to digest the wisdom imparted by this conversation. Just wow.
  • Thank you, Simon's segment "How do you know you lived a life worth living" almost made me cry at 1:33:15. People will pick up where I left off and continue without me. I was clear enough, my cause was compelling enough, and the tools I left were sharp enough that others will use them, make them better, and invent new ones. Thank you.
  • One of my favorite interviews/episodes to date! Thank you Steven for bringing Simon onto this platform for us to enlighten ourselves! 🤗
  • @OpeNSouL
    I am wiping back tears after watching this video because as someone who has recently been diagnosed with ADHD, I feel seen. We all aspire to Simon's level of "brilliance" and it's such a comfort to have him share his status. I hope I can find more content discussing his neurodivergence. I have been playing this interview in dribs and drabs for over a week so I can savour all the gems.
  • @GregWagstaff
    This podcast is so addictive. I love the guests, the questions, the layout, everything!
  • @kimbrink8257
    What I loved about this podcast was that sometimes Steven is unlocking a conversation that listeners need to hear, but here he really looked like the cogs were turning in his mind, like there were hard truths or things that he needed to hear, himself.
  • Breathtaking to see two articulate men having a collaboratively intelligent conversation and sharing insights and truths without any hint of ego or competition. Also fantastic to hear that Simon is working on Police Reform. This is so important for our civil society. Thank you
  • For the past week, these podcasts have really woken me up and put things into perspective for me. I have been depressed and wondering why I have a lack of motivation to actually get out there and take the steps towards doing what I love and having a purpose in life while I’m doing it. This is Big for me, but just the first step. I appreciate your platform of honesty and how you always bring to life our thoughts, the unspoken truth of our lives. You say it out loud. I also appreciate your sacrifice which is giving your time in order to help us inner-stand our own purpose and meaning to life. This is beautiful. Thank you 🤎✨
  • Alot of what he says is exactly how I've spent my whole life feeling and knowing without having the ability to put it into the right words to explain to others. Being the eldest of a single parent household, I happily have always sacrificed alot for my family and put them first. I'm grateful for the lessons I learnt at a very early age. I hope one day I can use that information to help others .
