Kindness and niceness aren’t the same thing.

Niceness is the performance: the smile, the polite silence, the moment that keeps things comfortable. Kindness is the action, even when it’s awkward or hard.

Not everything kind feels good in the moment. But that’s often the point.

I tell this story of my friend @mariashriver every chance I get. Asking “Do you have 8 minutes?” when we need help is one of the most powerful practices we’ve learned together.

Comment “Simon” and @steven will personally send you a link to view. 

What if the most connected generation in human history is also the loneliest?

@simonsinek returns to @thediaryofaceopodcast for the fifth time and in a world that’s moving faster than ever, where AI can write your emails, hold a conversation and even pretend to be your best friend - Simon is asking a very different question: what are we losing along the way?

Simon is a visionary thinker inspiring millions to cultivate human connection, find their purpose, and overcome any modern day challenges.

It’s so interesting because when I sit down to talk to Simon, he is one of the very few people that I don’t come with a preconception as to what we’re gonna talk about, but I come with a feeling and the feeling that I bring forth is the feeling of change and transition.

I don’t think I can ever think of a time where the future has felt unclear, uncertain, scary, exciting, and I guess unknown so that’s what we’re gonna tackle in today’s episode.

We cover:
- Why you shouldn’t wear a suit to an interview?
- Why modern politics is killing your sense of purpose.
- Why we’ve forgotten how to be a good friend.
- How AI will create a generation of helpless humans.
- The number one secret skill AI can’t learn.
- How human skills like empathy are vanishing.
And more.

This episode is different to our last four. We spoke extensively about AI, but not in the way you might expect. We talked about how it’s eroding our muscle for connection and how the things that really grow us are slowly being designed out of our lives.

I always enjoy our conversations and long may they continue!

We don’t become leaders when we accept a title and the perks that come with it. We become leaders when we accept responsibility for the wellbeing of others.

Being a leader isn’t about being in charge. 

Simon Sinek breaks down the difference between authority and leadership: one is given by title, the other is earned through trust and responsibility.

Leadership isn’t about being in charge — it’s about taking care of the people in your charge, helping them rise, and showing up for them consistently. When leaders lead with service, loyalty and trust follow naturally.

You’ll take away:
🧭 Leadership is service
🧠 Trust beats control
🤝 Safety drives loyalty

✋ Raise your hand if you spend so much time on your phone that “Stranger Danger” now means you have no idea how to talk to actual humans.

We’ve been glued to screens, and honestly, chatting with new people can feel terrifying. But couples therapist and intimacy expert @estherperelofficial reminds us that talking to strangers isn’t just good for life—it’s an essential job skill too. So, what’s the best unexpected chat you’ve had with someone you didn’t know?

When our response doesn’t quite match the moment, it’s often a clue to pause and look a little closer. Before we can claim to understand others, we have to really understand ourselves.

A few months ago, our friend Simon Sinek visited our BW Papersystems location in Phillips, WI to record an episode of his A Bit of Optimism podcast with Barry-Wehmiller Chairman Bob Chapman.

It wasn’t the first time Simon had been to Phillips, WI, and for his podcast, Simon not only wanted to talk to his good friend Bob, but other BW teammates in Phillips, some he had met almost 15 years ago.

That episode of Simon’s podcast is out now. We highly encourage you to listen to it or watch the video version on You Tube, which is almost a mini documentary. You can find it at the link in our bio.

On this episode of our Truly Human Leadership podcast, we want to bring you something special. While in Phillips to record, Simon and Bob held a Town Hall for the team members there as a thank you and to recognize them for the inspiration they have been, not only to Simon but countless others.

This Town Hall is a great dialogue between Bob and Simon and it also includes a couple questions from the audience, including the high school aged son of one of our team members that is a big fan of Simon’s and was very excited to talk to him. Also, Simon and Bob talk about the 10th anniversary revised and expanded edition of Bob and Raj Sisodia’s book, Everybody Matters: The Extraordinary Power of Caring for Your People Like Family.

You can listen to this inspiring conversation through your favorite podcast provider or at trulyhumanleadership.com

This simple story of a recruiter from the Marines illustrates a point I’ve seen over and over again: Great organizations don’t hire skilled people and motivate them. Great organizations hire already motivated people and inspire them.

Good friends make us better people. They lift us up when things fall apart and keep us humble when everything’s going well.

When I was facing one of my toughest writing challenges, I called a friend. Here’s what he told me.

In Hollywood, the gap between public and private selves can be huge. @roblowe’s secret to four decades of relevance?

Not playing that game.

He’s the same off camera as he is on camera—and that’s what makes him relatable. Authenticity isn’t about being perfect. It’s about owning your flaws…and sometimes turning them into strengths.

What’s one flaw of yours that’s secretly a superpower? 💥
