Summary

Want to do inspiring work that makes a lasting impact? Stop obsessing over your competition and start innovating, says Simon Sinek. Simon’s new book, The Infinite Game, calls out leaders and businesses who are chasing finite goals and metrics, rather than advancing the causes that truly matter. This mindset shift isn’t naive — it’s crucial in today’s ever-changing market. As Simon Sinek so expertly lays out in this episode, businesses who focus on their higher purpose make better ethical and innovative choices — the kind that actually pays off in the long run. If you’re ready to work in a way that feels healthy and purposeful, please don’t miss this episode. It will make you rethink how you’re measuring success, and how you can make your business last. When we work hard for something we don't believe in, it's called stress. When we work hard for something we do believe in, it's called passion. @simonsinek via @MarieForleo
