In a Nutshell:
In “Start With Why,” Simon Sinek explores the idea that purpose-driven companies succeed because they start with the “why” instead of the “what” or the “how.” He argues that when companies communicate their purpose and beliefs, they can create loyal customers and employees who share those values. Sinek uses real-world examples to illustrate his point and provides a framework for finding your own “why” as a company or individual.

Introduction:
In “Start With Why,” Simon Sinek challenges the conventional approach to business strategy. He argues that companies that focus solely on what they do or how they do it will struggle to stand out in a crowded marketplace. Instead, Sinek suggests that companies should start by defining their “why” — their purpose and beliefs — and use this as the foundation for their business strategy.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
