    #32 - Start With Why by Simon Sinek

    A discussion on the book Start With Why by Simon Sinek. Start With Why by Simon Sinek introduces The Golden Circle, an idea he developed while trying to understand why some marketing worked better than others. Over time, he realized the concept explained not just effective marketing, but how great leaders and organizations inspire action. The Golden Circle consists of three layers - Why, How, and What - with “why” at the center representing purpose or belief. Sinek illustrates the idea with examples from companies like Apple and Harley-Davidson, showing how those that “start with why” inspire loyalty and success. The book’s central message, reflected in its subtitle, is that great leaders inspire everyone to take action by starting with why. Hosted by Peter Banda & James de Klerk This is a public episode.

    #28 - The Art of Loving by Erich Fromm

    A discussion of the book The Art of Loving by Erich Fromm. The Art of Loving by Erich Fromm argues that one of the core problems we face as humans is that of separateness. The solution, he suggests, is unity, achieved through love - not merely a feeling, but an art, the result of the active, productive orientation of one’s whole character. Fromm suggests that, as with any art, learning to love begins with understanding the theory, followed by mastering the practice. The book starts with the theory of love and concludes with steps toward mastering its practice. Hosted by Peter Banda & James de Klerk This is a public episode.
