A pair of smart men losing their ego and debating about things that actually matter in this world. Outstanding content.

Wow! You guys really bounce off each other and aren’t afraid to call BS on each other’s claims. Please make Scott a repeat guest.

They joked about starting a podcast together, but I’d totally watch that.

This is what an intellectually respectful debate look like

What an awesome debate. A clash of ideas not personalities. How refreshing!

This is gold. This is exactly what people should be talking and thinking about until it gets fixed!

Im 34 and im so tired of being told "oh its easy to make money , just invest, buy real estate, start a business" etc and im like i work 40-50 hours a week all ready and can barely pay my bills how the HELL am i going to have the time or capital to do any of that unless i already had it in the bank!!!!???

I'm a fan of both of these guys, and even more so after this. I think the podcast space has shifted to being far too agreeable and to have these two giants in their respective fields, agreeing, disagreeing and debating so openly is super refreshing!

Scott needs more of Simon’s smile. Simon needs more of Scott’s sarcasm. Maybe they’ll forge a union of thought that takes immediate action to produce that kinder gentler generation of compassionate capitalists and sincere philanthropists. Meanwhile, we small town middle class moderate thinking peace lovers are just trying to pay the rent. Thanks guys. Y’all are genius thinkers. Hope your ideas work! ✨

2 years out of College my generation got hit with Great Recession ‘08. Took me 10 years working 2 or 3 jobs/gigs to save enough to buy a home then I lost job ‘20 COVID and even though I found employment within a year, with a fam4 🏡 all my savings wiped gone. I know I’m not the only one in my 40s having to rebuild that wealth right along side Gen-Z.

Love the point about how we-middle folks-need to come together, being against extremists. Social media has divided people too much.

After a very long time, I am watching a podcast where 2 people have a very serious conversation and are not just talking nice about each other and themselves just to promote their own content. 👏

This is the best podcast/interview I've heard all year. Rigorous, funny, psychoanalytic, and cathartic at the same time.

This podcast made me laugh so hard with you guys. These two points of view are speaking the exact same language and is EXACTLY the conversation that we need in every billionaires board room and presidential election but not with empty words but with the wholehearted spirit you both just brought. I love you both and you two need to get like minded folks to make these same points with a couple other voices and see where it goes. Encore!

Really refreshing to see the respectful robust exchange between two people on a podcast!

Quite possibly the best Podcast I've listened to in years. I have three sons ages 35, 30 and 27 who fortunately are amazing young men who have already made significant strides in their lives and are still incredibly grounded and with whom I have very strong ties. I've shared this link with them hoping they'll listen to it so we can discuss their takes. Thank you for doing this, gentlemen.

Finally heard something new from Professor G

I am the oldest of a triplet of brothers and I can assure you, brothers at the ages of 12 to 17 have their little conflicts and irritations, but now that we are at the ages of 20 to 25, we are friends, since we actually slowly get to know each other as our adult selves. And I believe its simply because we have compassionate parents who respect each of us the way we are.

Two of my favourite people I've known through the internet, together on a podcast, just perfect!

Love this conversation! Scott is a great counter balance to the Noise of the world in these difficult days. Please have him back again, I so look forward to seeing him again on your channel.

Simon, Scott is so thoughtful. Thank you for having him! May your reach continue to expand.

Love the show. Scott Galloway's a big influence to me. I think we have to accept that any future programs (even one's like UBI, but also specifically legislation) should not be counted on, if the wealthy lobby to have provisions in place to opt themselves out of subsidizing the public's financial struggle. The Calvary is not coming. The next president, whoever he/she is, is not our messiah. Politics is not the new religion, and the Calvary is not coming. We all have to keep fighting to increase our worth. Bless those like Mr. Galloway, who pulls upward those around him.

Both men are advocating for time. Friendships, community, and relationships require time and presence. However, most jobs are hourly workers which require both time and presence to be paid, which limits people’s time to be present for community events, loving others, and friendships. Paying more is one solution that could allow for more time and presence.

A+...Simon got more out of Galloway than I've seen anywhere else. Great content and chemistry.

Best conversation I’ve heard in months. Real, raw. Great points.

This was so refreshing, authentic, full of wisdom and common sense. This is exactly what we heed these days. Especially when we are facing a polarised discourse and the plague of hate in our society. We need both Sinek and Galloway.

Scott Galloway delivers the fucking best content. Cancel everything he’s not on and he can interview everyone…every single hack, bullshit artist, fraud, liar, and then some lying to themselves the mostly. Keep going Scott!

it is great to see 2 people with opposing views and ideals come together and have a meaningful discussion. We seem to either get people who constantly agree or argue, there isn't often this level of discourse.

Yes. A revolution of intellect, economy, and values. Not violence and name-calling.

Best thing I saw online in a while. Good thinking here. My problem that Scott doesn´t touch is, what happens to taxes once it make to politicians hands.

This was by FAR, one rhe BEST thought provoking PODCAST I've listened to! AAHH-MAZING ❤❤❤

This is the ULTIMATE match up, was waiting for this. Scott the ultimate gangster and Simon the preacher! IYKNYK-BOOM!!

Amazing to witness the respect these two men showed each other.

I love how they disagreed and never disrespected each other. They joked and they disagreed vehemently at points, but they didn’t disrespect each other

You guys are the candidates, make the jump to being true civil servants and run for office

Two of my favorite speakers in the same podcast. What a treat!

This Guy needs to run for President!

This was an excellent exchange. Scott’s comment that there’s being correct and there’s being effective really nailed the issue. We need to focus more energy on identifying and implementing strategies that are effective.

This was a wild ride. Wow, I love these two together. MORE!

100% This should be an open ongoing conversation. I love it!

I enjoyed this conversation but I found it frustrating at times. I think Scott completely missed Simon's point at 58:40 (people are pushing so hard to make their number [nevermind that everyone's number is going to be different...in Scott's case it was 9 figures, in my case, 7 figures] that it's at the cost of each other). I have absolutely seen people justify atrocious behavior under the assumption that after hitting some sort of milestones, they would be done. Simon's example of justifying laying people off to hit a number is salient at the moment and it absolutely blew my mind that Scott dismissed that as "not true" when less than ten minutes ago at 53:15 he talks about how on his journey to making 9 figures, he saw people in terms of two bubbles: how much money they made, and how much money they were adding, and if what they made was larger he'd fire them. This is exactly what Simon was talking about. A dehumanizing approach to "ruthless capitalism" as Scott puts it. And that's what got him to 9 figures. It's easy to be generous when you have that much excess. It's another thing entirely when you don't and manage to grow a business, while simultaneously treating people right. It's just very clear that Scott wasn't really listening or reflecting on what was being said.

I was born and raised in a town largely consisting of the 1%, my parents worked their way into the 5% category. Like Scott, I was obsessed with WW II history. The month I graduated college I enlisted in the military. Neighbors thought I had thrown my life away. It was the best thing I ever did. My sons will likely join as well as I will guide them that direction. If the wealthy don’t serve, our country will lose it’s soul.

Both great guys with lots of heart and diametrically opposite perspectives at times. Great conversation and great to see you're both still friends.

Until this interview I have never read or listened to Scott but I thoroughly enjoyed his perspective in this discussion. Thank you both!

That sequence on minutes 54:36 was gold🤣🤣. I appreciate the both of you so much. Thank you for your time!

To rebut Scott’s solution about political leaders and Simon’s about idealism: I watched Marrianne Williamson just campaign for president with all the morality and higher purpose described by Simon and the courage to call out special interest described by Scott… The people, the voters, laughed at her… sometimes for her optimism or spiritual views. So, the experiment was ran. Voters failed miserably. Look at the nominees. There were choices. We are, in fact, too stupid to vote our way to a better future.

A lot of Scott’s points made a ton of sense to me before but leave it to Simon to set me straight. Great dialogue! 🌟

What a fantastic conversation that cuts deep into the American psyche and emotions as adults and living! Thank you for this conversation guys! I love it!

It's so nice to see two people who fundamentally disagree with each other discussing and in the end....they agree the solution is not a revolution.

The new Odd Couple. Both intellectually brilliant. I love both of these guys!

I agree with Scott - on hitting the number and then spending and helping people. Hit mine a few years ago -and since then, can afford to be generous and love being that way. And , I agree with Simon ... pushing so hard to hit your number, (and then changing the number) can distract is from living a virtuous and happy life. They are both correct.

Please start a podcast. You two have similar and conflicting views, while managing to respect each other's position enough to talk it through. It's really great to hear.

Hands down one of the best interviews with Scott I have seen lately

This is one of the best podcasts I have ever learned. I learned so much. Thank you Simon and Scott. I love you guys. No homo.

I came across Scott G during his Ted talk where he talked about the love child. At that moment I thought to myself how awesome it would be to see Simon and Scott get together to make a love child podcast. Thank you guys, for making my dream come true in making this podcast.

Thank you! I enjoyed it so much, hope to see Prof G here again.

This was a really wonderful conversation, with necessary topical discourse. Appreciate you both.

Did I just listen this guy telling me that single moms with 3 children should have more votes? Absolutely nuts.

I love Scott Galloway...BOOM! He says it all. He's my favorite Monday podcast.

What a great discussion. This is humanity 101.

This was an amazing conversation. They agree on a couple of things and disagree on a couple, but still find a way to do it respectfully.

Thank you Simon for always expounding my mind with the different guest who grace your podcast with lifetimes worth of knowledge compressed into a podcast episode.

I loved this so much, amazing to see two friends having an honest convo

Great conversation, honest, genuine, funny and wonderfully refreshing. Please have more of these. Spread these throughout the mainstream.

I really appreciate the way you both interact...the common ground found...the areas where you differ and still an exciting and thought provoking conversation. I dream of both these visions and prepare to sacrifice to see it happen.

Amazing conversation and great confrontation 55:14

Two of my favourite leaders right now

love scott. his logic is hard to deny. he lives in reality not in ideals. the money over love bit is hard to take but so true. simon can't handle it. great convo.

Simon is leaning more right and Scott leans more left. It’s so interesting because their differences are so subtle.

Pure pure joy here, I think he will say I love at one point in the future Simon.

You both are wonderful. In truth, you both love each other. And I agree that you agree on more than either of you know.

Yin and Yang, Excellent conversation, working together ❤

Great insight on this country's problems from both Scott and Simon. Problem with Scott is that is happiness is fleeting. He gets happiness only while is spending the money. He is not fully content. He would be absolutely unhappy if he lost his money. Wish Scott could feel complete without his "target" money.

Thank you for this content. I learned a lot, especially about how two people with differing values can champion the same message. The largest dose of optimism came from the idea that we should all be better friends; it fixes our problems better than any politician or corporate leader can.

My Good This must be top conversation on every plathform

I find it so interesting that both of them are saying, we need to change the system, but they disagree on the group of people and why they do it. But their desired outcome is the same. This is how I wish left and right politics work.

Scott Galloway needing a drink is such a mood!

Wow, best pod I’ve watched in a long time. Melding of these two brilliant modern minds

Let’s do a second episode. This is great. Love the balance. Good stuff. 🙏🏾

As a 42 year old man with no father I can tell you, I wish I found these guys at 17.

In Sikhism, The concept of seva, or selfless service to humanity, is a fundamental teaching of Guru Nanak. This emphasis on helping others without any expectation of reward promotes a sense of community and compassion. In the contemporary world, where humanitarian crises and social issues abound, the spirit of seva remains relevant. In corporate world, it's called moral obligation to give back .

Really appreciate discussions like this where people can see things differently and still can have a productive conversation.

This needs to get to Vivek and Trump Amazing information.

This was awesome! I wish more podcast hosts would push back a bit and engage in friendly banter with their guests. All pods are becoming the same where everybody is inviting the same guests, letting them preach for an hour with little or no added value, but this one stood out

That was such a refreshing conversation! A true podcast. Not a talk show.

Hearing this has left me feeling like a weight has been lifted off my back. For the last 20yrs I felt the anger and frustration bubble up over pretty much everything that is being covered in this conversation.I felt like some dummy for not going along with the masses and cheering on their masters and chanting their marketing of "that's fascism/socialism" and resorting to name calling in order to defend the team who's allegiance I have pledged to...... the idea of the middle road, of figuring things out and having frank conversations instead of just allowing the manufactured slogans and talking points of the politicians paymasters to entice division and keep us all hating each other, while money is siphoned off to the already insanely rich that have nothing in common (although they spend money pretending to be relatable) with 80% of the population......

I would LOVE a podcast with Scott and Simon. ❤

Amazing and admirable conversation. Thank you for being role models in a world deprived of them

Yes, we are looking for that Simon!

Covid wiped my saving off. Rebuilding now only to manage have 30% of it.

I love these two!

I live in the Midwest. Our cities, states, neighborhoods, etc. have experienced severe weather this year (hail, thunderstorms, flooding, tornadoes, etc.) People have lost houses, loved ones, pets, their entire lives. Whenever one of these severe weather events impacts us, we mobilize and prepare to assist in any way that we can. I think this can be a solution to the current issues impacting our communities and our country. We need to convince ourselves, our leaders, our politicians, and our civil servants that this is a severe weather event. We need to mobilize and prepare our troops to assist in any way that we can. We need to swallow our pride, roll up our sleeves, and prepare to sacrifice for our neighbors. Drastic changes can be made if we convince ourselves that this is reasonable, possible, and necessary. No one will willingly give the government more tax dollars, but they will gladly help their neighbors. Let's start there.

I loved this interview. Simon, you are the absolute best. Scott, you made some excellent points. Great job, guys!

One of the Best! You two need to talk more.

This is fantastic and I love the disagreeing between you two and how no one takes it personally. Its like being privy to a really good pub conversation.

I have a ton of respect for them both and love that they are speaking about this. But they also need to realize they have the reach and resources to start driving these changes beyond bringing light to them. Start organizations based on your ideas, run or office or find someone you would want for office that you can promote and help campaign so they can make a change at a level that gets the ball rolling!

This talk centered around the complete death of any sort of American culture. The vast majority of social conduct, morality, and standards have completely been destroyed. What happened with the baby boomers is they grew up in a culture that had a firm grasp on what was acceptable. As a result they decided to break these social standards to live better lives. The problem is that in subsequent generations they became stuck on lower levels of thought, which results in short term self oriented people. Social regulations and its rules allow people to be able to predict what other people will do, and as a result people operate on higher levels of thought, that which is concerned with the future and other people. Its like racing where the highest performers will momentarily and with control go past the limits of the race car, which allows them to go faster. However, this requires the driver to be acutely aware of the limits of the race car. To break the rules, you first must understand and have mastered the rules. If America wants to truly thrive again, cultural development has to occur. A shared cultural identity, of which requires people to adhere to the groups standards, regulations, and morality. Anything significant western civilization has accomplish was as an attempt to live up to the image of God. I find it hard to see people returning to religion, however I believe all the cultural deficiencies' are as a result of declining religiosity. The human mind in my understanding was designed, or functions best within a religious framework. Religion lays out path for how people should live their lives, what is moral, multiple thousands of years of wisdom and teachings.

I love the straight talk!

This was the most entertaining podcast I have ever heard!!

Thank you, Scott!
