I am a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel. I also worked on Wall Street for 20 years. When I do public speaking I always mention that I did not do an Army career to get rich and that true leadership is servitude. Few understand those words. Simon now gets it. I was a fan of his before I saw this video but now I would be proud to share a foxhole or an MRE with him. He now gets it. Thank you Simon.

I cried, I felt every word that you said, Simon, go on! I always loved you and respect you ❤

Simon, well said! I am a retired Army Chaplain who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Every Soldier, Sailor, Airmen, and Marine and their family member who hears your story gets it! America needs a revival in the service to others. Keep this message alive. It’s one powerful way of honoring those who gave their all. Thanks!

I did angel flight detail in Iraq in 2007 ,most humbling experience ever .

We have another unsung hero group called "caregivers". These are the people who quietly take care of their elderly parents or are hired to care for elderly people. This is a very difficult job that does not get enough recognition or respect. But these caregivers are serving those who've once served society; people who built our society...many of them are veterans, but are treated as used tires by society and by their own adult kids...once they've become sick and old.

Powerful message. Go on, Simon. We need people like you.

I so prodoundly, deeply understood and felt every single thing Simon shared... what best is there than to serve others that serve for the good and betterment of others... it is so powerfully transformational.. it moves me to the core ❤

To give real service you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity. - Douglas Adams

Simon Sinek is a fabulous mentor and inspiration. I absolutely adore him!

Every time I hear your experience in Afghanistan I cry. I feel you every fear, panic and anxiety. Thank God you are here and your eyes are open to our world. ❤ Simon. Keep going.

I love how Simon shared this story. Brought me to tears too!

the "drunks and idiots" need to hear "go on" also

I have become a professional substitute teacher and now realize why I find it so fulfilling thank you. I serve those who serve others

This episode made me cry, especially the part when Simon shared about that particular experience of his. I felt everything he was saying at that moment and the impact of that event on his life

The power of telling a story well. ❤

Beautiful! "Go on, we're with you." Soldiers know better than anyone else how important brotherhood is. Beholding that brotherhood makes one shy and silent and so it is with Simon Sinek. What Simon said about the emergency room doctor and the difference between helping wounded combatants and drunks made me wonder. He comes to the conclusion that purpose means 'serving those who serve others'. But isn't that an unnecessary limitation of purpose. Why not just 'serving others'? For that is what the military do. They serve everyone, civilian and drunkards. You could also say that drunks are the wounded of our society ... a society that desperately needs the feeling of "Go on, we are with you."

I watched it twice, and tears keep falling! I felt all you said Simon, thanks you

simon is one of the most inspiring men i have followed in the past 10 years or so. always has content that has meaning to it.❤❤❤❤

So so moving and has sparked an idea that's been brewing in my head and heart for a while now - time to act. Thank you.

This hits deep, thank you both for sharing . It means so much more knowing the history of where the inspiration comes from when creating and writing a book. ❤

For anyone out there that needs to hear this......"Go on"

Loved that clip! Cried reading Leaders Eat Last. Felt that in words

Thank you for your thoughts and raw emotions. Thank you for honoring one of my fallen brothers and sisters.

Amazing interview Simon! Bravo. Love this video and happily subscribed! Time to watch more! Thank you

This is an extremely powerful story.....thank you!

this was why we love simon so much he knows what it means to be those who do for others

Mr Simon your account of “realisation” was masterful thank you for sharing it . Lifted me to a state of “tears eyes wide open “ for want of better words . So often we cry riddled with pain, frustration, desperation ,heart ache or sadness , these sort of tears leave our eyes swollen bloodshot and sore and breathing laboured. However if we are lucky something touches us so profoundly (as it did for you on that runway )that tears from the soul ,fall from our eyes with such ease and grace that they cleanse our vision and thoughts (apart from a small headache due to sudden dehydration) its a beautiful thing . Even the world around you looks bright and enchanted for a while (kinda like LSD) best of all, the emotions connected to those sorts tears are etch deep and recallable . Some experience such tears from great Artwork , music , a child's success or a saved animal freed . For me those tears come when experiencing my own ,or sharing in others ,moments of profound realisation fairy

“GO ON!” Not only you have inspired me, you are motivating me to “go on” thanks

I’m in tears

Looking back at this story I felt compelled to join in the celebration of brotherhood. If something will continue to inspire this guy to inspire others is more of it.

Truly moving ❤ Being LE it’s honorable for Simon to recognize the brave emotional bonds of the LE society

Please, know that I very, very rarely leave a comment on KZfaq... However watching and listening to this video of Simon Sinek inspired me to do so. I always knew that Simon Sinek was brilliant guy, thanks to you and this video, I now understand why!! What an extremely beautiful and inspiring Human Being. Thanks to you Simon Sinek and to you "The Dairy Of A CEO Clips", I'm truly grateful!! Be well! 🤩 🙏

I feel, this is the first time I’ve actually understood something in one go. After this video, I’m not sitting and pondering or wondering about what I just saw. I understood.

Thank you Simon. I always find your videos interesting but this one was particularly enlightening. I appreciate you.

How can one be so emotional and reflected and not reflect on and feel what the service is of those ppl „serving“: vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, … >1million ppl killed

You made me cry...love you ❤

Some people may never understand between the difference. Take your time and Go on have two very different meaninings in itself but with this situation he spoke about it is especially important to not feel alone

Thank you for sharing your heart❤

Hi guys , passionate follower of yourself and Simon, many years ,This was outstanding, Simon telling story , tears to my eyes , Tremendous video guys 🤜🤛❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙏

This is so moving 👍Thank you for those important insights 🙏

Incredible. I am deeply moved, thank you for providing such valuable content - it is so rare!

Wow. Just wow.

So powerful and moving. Thanks for sharing.

We can help with his next mission, time to teach the world to collaborate Simon and never feel lonely - power of collaboration. Loving both podcasts #SimonSinek and #Stevenbartlett

Wow…. Did not expect that ❤ so incredibly powerful

Beautiful!❤️

man! that is a powerful story!

What a lesson. I have a lot of pondering to do….

Thank you Simon!

Ugh! That Broke Me. It reminds me of a poem by Rumi and part of it said , “ if I love you, I love myself, and if I love myself, I love you.” There is No Higher Love or Reason to exist, other than to serve the One’s We Love and Respect…

The greatest purpose is to serve those who serve others? So we gotta serve our mother's.

Amazing and emotional

This is a great series and it shows Stephen is much more than an entrepreneur. He’s a great interviewer, because he asks good questions and lets people speak freely without interruption.

Thank you for this powerful video. ❤

That is just lovely wonderful and correct

Hated the military (navy) but would lose my life for my shipmates (family) that I served with. I loved them.

That was amazing, so powerful

Simon is certainly a great speaker but, above all an inspirational person making you think and stretching you to get the best of you.

Wow, just wow!

Beautiful 💯💚

The most beutiful of this interview was that Steve never interruped to Simon, thats awesome.

Powerful.

Wow, I sit at your feet. How on Earth did you manage to survive for all that time. You were becoming the hero you absolutely are.

I love you Simon 😭 Thank you

That made me cry 👍🇬🇧

Simon is a great talker i really enjoyed that

That was an amazing story ❤

Great clip 🙌🏾

When my friends are struggling, I do say take you time and also explain to them what they want to do and I guide them. We are sitting in the mud together, yes. We will make it out. I can switch to go on. Np.

Would love to get a compilation video of some of these guests

For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Mathew 20:28

Powerful

❤ no words needed

This was so powerful

AMAZING!!!!!!!!

There is no greater purpose than to have my life matter more than to msyself.

Go on...

He’s like a business Quentin Tarantino

This sharing kept me spell bound........ amazing truths and a privelege to listen at my desk in Devon........... never going to live such a life at this time in my life but it's good to be stretched by things way beyond my everyday........... But we can all find a purpose everyday that makes the world a better place if we wish even the 'drunks and idiots'! Life is a journey and the only meaning it has is what we give it and if we are messed up then go to AA, get therapy, sort your diet out, get some exercise and do something for somone or something else everyday. We ARE all brothers and sisters not simply those in the military. We are all worthwhile............. We can all bare witness in the mud............................................. ?

Brilliant

To be or not to be....❤

Holy Shit. This is so good.

Wow!

Dang that's stirring! That's the worst feeling when you're gonna have to tell your parents bad news. Except he's farrrr from home

We’re going to need that mentality in next couple of months.

" Mastery in Servitude "..... Meher Baba.

Everyone has a different purpose in life. Some even serve a purpose of being the worst example so that others dont follow and change course. Serving is good but that can take many forms.

I appreciate the sentiment, but I interpret "Take your time" to mean "We'll wait however long you need so that you can continue when you're ready", and you could easily interpret "Go on" to mean "Come on, I haven't got all day".

I like that you interview people i dont know. I dont like the disclaimer the more we are the bigger the guests.

This is what the movie “Taking Chance” is all about. Watch it. It will change you.

❤❤❤

I just wish the Governments of the day would see how many ex service men and women are homeless and living on the streets - why? Why are they not valued?

He wrote that story🇺🇸

War is never holy or good at all. The smartest tactic is making utmost effort to be friends with their leaders to avoid starting a war. Negotiate Peace

Would be fun to see Steve Harvey as your guest

There are people in service, not just in the military. I'm not a big fan of war or killing, so I'd like to stay away from that context. I believe what Simon is really talking about is acceptance and inclusivity. For example non white community, LGBTQ+ community, someone believing in something else, or their identity is different from us. When people are experiencing difficulties that we ourselves can not handle, be it crying, grief, loss, heartache, depression, emotional or physical trauma, when people don't know how to deal with it, they want to be polite, or give space to themselves and others. From what Simon is sharing, which is common in those who are suffering, is that they don't want to be excluded, cast aside, putting as them vs us. The general saying 'Go on', he is stepping forward to be with those who are challenged, to be brave to hold space for the uncomfortable and unknown. I would say our society has not been trained or widely exposed to how to deal with these emotions as we have been educated to just do a job in an organisation for set hours, with limited toilet or lunch break or holiday break. There is a human being underneath all these and it isn't often fully acknowledged, well understood, and empathised. I believe this might happen more for men than woman, but all human being struggle with this fundamental issue of how do we deal with this short life and all the ups and downs we encounter. What Simon's work is pointing to, is how do we find use of our life, and how can we give it away for the benefit of others. That's essential the meaning of life I believe.

If you're there for a full tour and actually in combat that delayed reaction is delayed until you get home. They don't train you for that in the military. Also that person he said he became, you feel that person emerging, except your heavily armed and everyone around you feels the same way, amped up by a thousand because youre not just frustrated by missing a plane, you're frustrated by the reaction your mind and body are having throughout the experience and there's not much you can do to fight it. It's the real enemy, the logos of war that possesses you against your will. It's only when that avatar leaves you, when you're out of the zone and back in civvie life that your cultured, societal side returns and tries to deal with being sidetracked by necessity. That experience is dark. If you're strong, have good support and you're lucky you don't go mad.

Who was the greatest servant of all time? What is it about serving others that is so Nobel?
