I always enjoy two interesting and intelligent people having a conversation. And when one of them is Simon Sinek, you can expect some interesting insights.
Liv Boeree chats to legendary thinker and speaker Simon Sinek about the nature of competition in business, and in particular, the key ingredient of all enduring companies and leaders: The Infinite Mindset.
They also explore the pros and cons of short-term goals, the power of enemies, Moloch Traps, how to be a better speaker, the need for optimism, and so much more. Not one to miss!
