Up until then, I was just doing a show and I was happy to have the job and I was excited about, I was still excited about the work,

but something shifted for me and I just wanted to use the show and not be used by the show.

I wanted to use the show as a force for good.

And so in that intention,

I told the producers, do not even bring me ideas unless I'm aligned with whatever your intention is

so that we all sync up and

so regardless of what the subject is we're all really saying the same thing

that we're using this story or this person's life

or whatever is happening in this experience as a as a force for good the golden circle

that you introduced uh in start with the why applies now

as it applied 16 years ago as it will apply 16

years from now can you explain the the golden circle for the 10 people who haven't heard it.

Very simply, every single one of us knows what we do.

It's the jobs we have, it's the things we do, right?

I'm a doctor, I'm a consultant, I'm a barista, like this is what I do.

Yeah.

Some people know how they do it.

These are the things that we think make us stand out

or make us better than somebody else who also does what we do.

But very, very few people can clearly articulate why they do what they do, that deep -seated purpose -causer belief.

And what I discovered is that the best leaders, everybody from Martin Luther King to Steve Jobs, every single one of them thinks,

acts, and communicates the exact same way, and it's the complete opposite to most other people, and every single one of them starts with why.

So if you say, what do you do?

They don't say, oh, I'm a speaker, I'm an author, I am a talk show host.

They say, I wake up every single morning to inspire people to do the things that inspire them.

For me, the fun is finding all the ways in which I can do that.

And that's how you get to what you do.

Yes, it's interesting because Jim Collins just recently wrote a book and he says that people like that were encoded with that,

that there was an encoding for them to do that, that that's not something, just as you say, you don't require it out here.

You had it in here to begin with.

I think, so I agree and I would add on to it, which is it's not that some people are encoded like that.

All of us are encoded like that.

The question is, are we working in environments

and do we have a support structure that encourages and supports us to live by that code?

Very often, we are seduced by money or fame or to be an influencer.

We are pressured to be responsible, become an accountant, because that way you can provide for yourself even though you have no desire to be an accountant, etc. So, we give in to peer pressure,

we give in to societal pressure, we give in to family pressures.

And so, whether we're following the code is the big question.

And so you have truly changed the culture.

You've changed how the culture speaks about itself because we're now all familiar with the phrase of what is your why?

What do you think it is about your message that has resonated?

So first of all, were you surprised?

I was surprised at the speed and the scale that it took off, but I wasn't surprised that it resonated with people because it's a deeply human message.

And it was not something that I put together for any commercial or academic reason.

It was put together for me.

It was the solution that I found

when I lost my passion for my own work and it was only meant to help me.

And it did.

And I shared it with my friends and it helped my friends find renewed passion in their work.

So you were doing it for their friends?

Yeah, yeah.

That's how it started.

Which is the most organic.

Yeah, I was giving talks in my friends' living rooms to their friends

and helping people find their why for a hundred bucks on the side.

That's how it started.

So tell us where you were before you discovered it for yourself.

What was actually going on with you?

I was living in New York City, living the entrepreneurial dream.

I'd started a small business, had a little marketing consultancy.

And I knew the statistics that the vast majority, well into the 90th percentile of new businesses fail in the first three years.

And so if you're sort of like that kind of stress and that kind of competition, you know, entrepreneurship is a crazy fun game.

And we survived.

Like we survived three years in business and my fourth year in business was dark, to say the least, because I'd survived.

I now was a member of this small group of organizations that had beaten the three -year statistic.

But I was a victim of my own success because I didn't know how to build the structure for a company.

It was all my personality and force of personality.

And as things started to go well, I didn't know what to do.

And it sort of came crashing down on me, to be honest.

Not literally, but like the pressure was overwhelming.

and I went into what can only be described as depression

and being happy -go -lucky

and living what superficially looks like a good life I was very afraid

or embarrassed to tell people that I was struggling and so I kept it to myself.

You were struggling how?

I didn't want to go to work anymore.

Wow.

I didn't want to wake up and go to work and I was very very embarrassed.

Um, because superficially things were good, and so I sounded whiny, you know?

So if you've ever been in a dark place, if you keep it to yourself, it gets worse.

That's right.

And that's exactly what happened.

And it wasn't until a very dear friend of mine came to me and said, something's wrong, and that was the gate that opened up.

Okay, so what did uncertainty teach you about yourself?

So the single greatest lesson I learned in that whole experience, was that I don't have to know everything and I don't have to pretend that I do

and to ask for help and to say to people, I don't know what's happening and I don't need to find certainty.

I just need to feel not alone as I go through the journey.

That was the greatest gift.

Yeah, and I've discovered that too, that many times knowing what you don't want to do is

just equally as important as knowing what you do want to do.

And that's how you get closer to certainty.

So we were speaking earlier about the fact that you and I, it's a surprise that we haven't really connected over the years because we share the same worldview.

I remember when I found my why on the Oprah Winfrey show, it was around 1989.

I didn't call it the why, I called it intention.

So I'm wondering if the why and the intention are the same.

I mean, depending on how you define them, probably, yes.

Yeah.

You know, the way I define why is this, it's this deep seated purpose, cause, or belief.

100

It's the reason why you're doing it.

101

It's the reason behind the reason.

102

It's the reason behind the reason.

103

It's the thing that inspires.

104

It's not a goal.

105

Yeah.

106

It's not some thing you're trying to obtain.

107

It's not based on the job you do.

108

Right.

109

But it's the thing that inspires you to get out of bed in the morning.

110

And if that thing is there, no matter how hard the work is, it feels worth it.

111

Yeah.

112

And that's, so in the way you're defining intention, the way I define the why they sound very similar.

113

So for me, the intention became in 89, up until then, I was just doing a show and I was happy to have the job and I was excited about, I was still excited about the work,

114

but something shifted for me and I just wanted to use the show and not be used by the show.

115

I wanted to use the show as a force for good.

116

And so in that intention,

117

I told the producers, do not even bring me ideas unless I'm aligned with whatever your intention is

118

so that we all sync up.

119

And so regardless of what the subject is, we're all really saying the same thing,

120

that we're using this story or this person's life or whatever is happening in this experience as a force for good.

121

How do you define the intention?

122

How do you define the why outside of the show?

123

Because the show is one of the things that you do, one of the things that you did to bring your cause to life.

124

This podcast is one of the things that you do to bring your cause to life.

125

How would you define the intention?

126

What's the string that connects absolutely everything?

127

Being a light in the world.

128

Yeah.

129

Yeah.

130

Wherever you go, you're bringing a light in the world.

131

And that's a why.

132

Yeah.

133

That's a why.

134

You're bringing enlightenment in the world.

135

You're bringing light to the person who you're picking up your laundry from today.

136

Being a light in the world and helping people to see themselves differently, absolutely in the best light.

137

And this is one of the reasons you have passion and love for what you do, which is it has purpose.

138

And as you said, when you put that filter up and say, make sure that everything we do, and sometimes we'll get it wrong,

139

make sure that as many times as possible with intention that we pass through this filter, that it does this, it brings light.

140

And the thing that I love, and this is what a good why is, people forget that a why is actually an act of service.

141

It's something we give to the world it's not something we take absolutely 100

142

and and and the fact

143

that you say to bring light in the world you know

144

it's it's it's it's not just you you are one of the things

145

that brings light to this world

146

but your work will inspire others to bring light this world

147

absolutely your your your work will inspire others to bring light to this world

148

and they in turn will bring light to other people i like it's magic i like it is magic

149

and i like the fact that you use the term thread what is the thread

150

that connects everything because i think

151

that is true for most people there is a thread that connects the dots of their lives, that if they were to look back at that thread, you would see that your life has,

152

you've already defined some sense of purpose for yourself.

153

This is how I find, this is how I help people find their why, which is I look at the past.

154

It's not a vision board we do cutting up magazines.

155

That's not what it is.

156

I look at the past and I look through their personal lives and their professional lives.

157

And I find the times where for whatever reason, and they were in flow, where things just naturally were incredible.

158

They loved what they were doing, no matter how hard it was, even if it wasn't a commercial success.

159

And I find that when you look at all of the things, when they just naturally go well, there's a pattern that emerges and we can actually define.

160

We can see that pattern and that is the why.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
