Simeon Panda's Fat Burn Extreme Course Review

I wouldn't say so. Like diet wellness influencers his model is to repackage conventional wisdom in a way that's seemingly innovative and more palatable to his target audience. In his case the audience is research-averse business types in need of a veneer of intellectualism to coat their decidedly non-inspired policies.

The type of leadership necessary even self-leadership. I align pretty closely with Sinek coincidentally. As a leader your position is to empower your staff make sure they have what they need provide psychological safety and feedback. Not radical but not at all common.

He is able to articulate ideas simply and effectively to those who have an interest. Perhaps where some of his audience struggle is putting his ideas into practice. It's all fair and well referencing the likes of Apple as a means to frame the idea working in the real world but this is with the benefit of hindsight. It's much harder to work with his ideas from the other direction when apply them to your own venture or a client's start-up. His how-to guides simple as they appear require skills or resource that most people just don't have. It takes a lot of time and effort to create practicable ways to apply his ideas. I can see this might be frustrating to some.

Its nice to listen to get to a certain mindset but a lot of the things he is saying is just pure bullshit People feel sudden change but accept gradual change - What do you base this on Mr Sinek? Or his Marine bit - the leader shouldnt be the best and smartest one but the one you trust the most Do you not see how this leads to so many bullshit startup companies because the founder is so charismatic and trustworthy but dumb as a brick.

I listened to Leaders Eat Last and Start With Why. Both have good ideas and examples behind leadership and influencing others. Take out the lessons that apply to you and use them.

His concepts are 💯. BUT Two weeks ago just watched a video where he was speaking with a straight up British accent https://youtu.be/4gUL76lV7gk?si=FHppb2JOAMUmA1p5 . I’m fine with that, it’s even his heritage but the accent was so different than anything I’d heard from him that there was no way to reconcile the fact that either he was faking an accent in everything I’d seen him in or he was faking an accent in that video. It was posted 9 years ago and he’s likely made some decisions since then in how he presents himself to the world. Still love the guy and he’s a leadership idol in my book but man was that odd to me.

I see him as someone who provokes thoughts or shares wisdom. Helps people calibrate against a particular value system to fall back on when making decisions for yourself.

He is easy to listen to and without knowing the sources of his knowledge he does a good job at inspiring people. I have seen some criticism around him lacking practical experience in stuff he is teaching. But I do not care since he surrounds himself with great leaders and he shares his knowledge with us.

Honestly as long as he credits the original thinkers. Honestly as long as people's lives improve everything is ok. I will definitely check the other people you mentioned as well so thank you for the references as well

I think Simon’s genius comes from his ability to use concepts/theories from other fields, and apply to business, and leadership. One example of that is how he talks about change management, where he takes the work of Geoffrey Moore (Crossing the Chasm), and apply it to leadership.
