Hi, Adam.
Hey, Renee.
I'm excited about this episode.
Me too.
Yeah, we have our first guest for you this episode. Adam will tell you all about our guest and our conversation. Before we get there, I want to let you know we are coming. This is the close to season one. It has been a wild ride. We are so grateful to y'all for being on the ride with us. We're taking a hiatus for five weeks now. During those five weeks, we're bringing you some best of podcasts that we think you'll really enjoy. And then we'll be back on July 30th with new episodes, including some really fun guests. We're going to try something new and interview some folks and then talk about what we're learning from our guests. So excited, but really, really want to make sure I'm clear that we're both so grateful for y'all coming to the Curiosity Shoppe.
and hanging out with us and learning with us. It's been really fun.
It has been. And speaking of fun, we're very excited to bring you a special conversation that we recorded at Brilliant Minds in Stockholm. It was last week with our friend Simon Sinek. If you don't already know Simon, he's an ethnographer, TED talker, author of books like Start With Why and The Infinite Game. He's also a podcaster and an optimist. We had a great conversation about the state of work in organizations, about how to build strong teams, how to get the most out of leaders. And we also got to do a live Q&A with leaders from around the world. Enjoy.

Welcome to The Curiosity Shop. A show from the Vox Media Podcast Network.
Hi, everybody. We are in Stockholm, and we are at the Brilliant Minds Conference, joined by none other than Simon Sinek. Welcome to The Curiosity Shop.
Nice to be here. We're excited. Thank you. Me too. You're the first guest ever.
Ever.
I remember you told me. You said, would you be our first guest? And I was very excited to say yes.
I have questions for all of us and we're going to round robin them. So here's my thinking. The three of us have spent our careers inside organizations and working with leaders, but we do it in very different ways. So you build very deep and lasting relationships with leaders. You're with them over time. You are very relational in your work. Adam, you bring research, cutting new findings, and you work with leaders, you work with teams. I go into organizations to lead transformations. So I'm there usually for two to five years, working specifically with the C-suite, and then I work with the level of leaders that report up to the C-suite.
What lessons can we learn from military culture about leadership?
So we all have very different interactions, but do very similar work. So I want to start with this question, and we'll go first to you. State of the org, globally, how would you describe what you're seeing today?
Look, the good news is that there is demand for our work. There shouldn't. I agree. No, no, but I mean it like there shouldn't be.
