The video is engaging with an interesting approach to the writing process. The speaker's passion for ideas creates a personal connection with the viewers, while providing a complete and coherent discussion on the topic. Writing and creativity is a popular and relevant topic in social media, making the video well-timed. However, some improvement can be made in incorporating a call to action for viewers to take away from the video. Overall, a great watch for those looking to improve their writing skills. Writing is a, it's different because if it's really fun when I'm editing, because if I'm boring myself, I just cut that whole section. And so the books have my sense of humor in them. Like there's little jokes in there because it makes me giggle. And I write about the things that I think are really interesting. And I tell the stories that make me interested. And I can make myself cry with some of those stories in the book. And I can give myself goosebumps with some of the stories in that book. And if I'm doing it for myself, it's probably working for others too. You know, but I do love ideas. And I love dissecting ideas and understanding ideas. And I really love understanding why things work. I am a little kid at heart. You know, I want to know why. Not as a noun as I popularized it with start with why, but as a question. Like, why is it that way? I'm really, I love that question. It is a little kid question. You know, and for some reason as adults, we stop asking and start just blindly accepting. And that doesn't mean I have to be rebellious in the question. It's not an accusation.

The video engages viewers with a thought-provoking hook and explores the rationalization of distancing ourselves from accountability. The speaker creates a personal connection with the audience and offers a clear message with a timely topic. There is no clear need for improvement; the quality is positive. We look for ways to distance ourselves from the impact of our decisions. We say things like, it's what you got to do to get ahead. It's what my boss wants. Everyone's doing it. I don't have a choice, right? And there are ways we can disassociate our responsibility, right? So rationalizing is a big part of it.

The video transcript effectively engages the audience with an intriguing hook sentence, provides clear and coherent perspectives on the topic of social media and mental health, and offers valuable personal insights. It is a timely and relevant addition to the discussion. However, it could benefit from more specific examples to support the speaker's points. Where you sit in your room by yourself, put your phone on record, and make a video of yourself crying because of the loss of a relationship, and then posting that on Instagram or Snapchat or YouTube or TikTok or whatever your media of choice is, and the hashtag is just being vulnerable. Right? And there is nothing vulnerable about that.

The video transcript effectively captures the importance of giving back, a timely topic that creates a personal connection with viewers. Its attention-grabbing hook and coherent structure provide valuable insights and strong conclusion. However, a call to action could enhance its completeness. It was about when he leaves this career, he has a platform that would be bigger than the platform he has now. And so he was driven and driven and driven not so that he could be the best, not so that he could make the most money. In fact, he made a lot less money than a lot of other players of his rank. Not that he could be rich or famous or any of these things. He did it so that he could build his platform so that he could give back later.

The video provides a clear and concise explanation of a team exercise, emphasizing the importance of feedback as a gift. The speaker makes a personal connection with the viewers and offers helpful insights on how to receive feedback with gratitude. However, the video could benefit from a stronger hook to grab the viewer's attention and a clearer call to action. They're collated and distributed amongst the team. And then you come together as a group and you take turns reading them. So first you read your own weaknesses and then the group has the opportunity to add to that list. And here's the best part. We give a little speech before the whole exercise starts that the people who are going to give you this feedback really don't want to. It's really uncomfortable for them. It's going to be, they would just rather not do this exercise at all. But they're going to do it because they want to see you and help you grow. And so what they're giving you is a gift. And so you have to receive it as a gift, which means you say, thank you.

The video effectively captures the audience's attention with the relatable concept of discomfort with decisions not aligned with one's true cause. It maintains coherence throughout the discussion and delivers valuable and personal insights into the motivations and sacrifices of high achievers. It is a timely and relevant topic, but could benefit from a stronger call to action. And I think one of the reasons most of us feel discomfort or don't feel ourselves or don't know who we are is because we're making decisions that are inconsistent with that true cause with that why. So you raise the case of individual athletes who become champions and then suffer depression. It's a fairly common story. You hear this from Olympians, you know, Michael Phelps becomes the most meddled, you know, Olympian of all time immediately suffers depression. Andre Agassi becomes the most storied tennis player of all time, immediately becomes depressed. And what I've learned from talking to some of these, these particularly athletes, but I think it happens in the business world as well, which is from a very young age, they set themselves a goal that, in my words, would be a very selfish goal. I want to be the best at X, the best tennis player, the best golfer, the best whatever. And, you know, the way Olympians put it, which I get a kick out of is I want to win the Olympics. I'm like, well, no one wins the Olympics. Like you can be a winner in your sport, you know, but that's an aside. But, and, and their entire lives from pretty young ages, every decision they're making is to help them advance this finite goal. And all of their relationships are, can you help me achieve my goal? Right. And if you can no longer help me achieve my goal, I don't need you anymore as a coach or even a friend. And there's huge sacrifices, missing of birthdays, missing of Christmases, you know, missing of major life, uh, events, because I have to practice so I can achieve my goal. And when they get interviewed on the news, you know, or at the Olympics or whatever, you know, why do you do it? And they will say, well, I'm doing it to inspire the little kids, which is complete bullshit. You know, if you look at al

The video provides a reflective and relevant introduction, a coherent message on finding purpose through serving others, and a clear conclusion. The personal connection created by the speaker's message adds value, making the topic engaging for viewers. The video could benefit from addressing a call to action to enact the speaker's proposed solution. And, and then when they achieve or don't achieve this thing and then can no longer compete for it, um, they've set their entire path and all their relationships on this one, these finite selfish goals. They don't really even have a sense of purpose because they've been spent the past 20 years or so with one purpose, which was this finite goal, which now has run out. Same thing if I just or if I just make a million dollars, you know, if I just become a millionaire, then I'll feel. You know, our sense of joy and fulfillment and love and purpose comes from our ability to serve another human being. And there's nothing wrong with personal achievement. There's nothing wrong with setting goals, but it has to be in the context of something even bigger.

The video offers an engaging message that touches on ethical practices in business and social media. Its clear and concise message provides valuable insights into prioritizing the cause over numbers and avoiding unethical practices. Additionally, the topic is timely and relevant for social media platforms. However, improvement can be made in terms of adding a call to action. Well, it's because they paid for it. They bought all those books themselves. You can game all these systems. And if you're too obsessed with the number, because you think the number is what gives you credibility, then it goes back to ethical fading again. Then the pressure becomes overwhelming. And you start doing things that have nothing to do with the podcast or the cause and only have to do with advancing the number. So you can go around telling people you got the number. Right? Great. Good for you. And I don't, it's not how I choose to build my business or live my life. But I think what's more fun is to be surprised, which is, is it okay to be driven to be number one? As long as you're doing it second and the cause comes first.

The video effectively captures the audience's attention with its thought-provoking message and provides valuable insights into the need for practical social skills in education. The speaker establishes a personal connection with the audience and addresses a timely and relevant topic. However, the video could benefit from a stronger introduction. Where we can help is we can teach people how to have uncomfortable conversations. That is a skill set. We don't teach leaders how to have uncomfortable conversations. We don't teach students how to have uncomfortable conversations. We don't teach, you know, we can teach these things all over the place. And I think it's a big gaping hole in curriculum. We teach, you know, maths and we teach English, but we don't teach social interaction. We don't teach listening. We don't teach how to have uncomfortable conversations. We don't teach how to give and receive feedback. You know, now you tell me which is gonna be more valuable for the rest of your life. How to have a difficult conversation or trigonometry. And shouldn't we be, you know, shouldn't we be preparing people for life?

The video's hook sentence is attention-grabbing, and the speaker's message about personal achievement is presented coherently and completely. It offers a valuable and relatable personal connection for viewers while aligning with current social trends. However, the hook sentence could have been more concise and clearer for the audience. And there's nothing wrong with personal achievement. There's nothing wrong with setting goals, but it has to be in the context of something even bigger. In general, team sports don't suffer this because you had to do it together. You know, it's usually individual athletes who suffer this more often. And so there is one of the athletes I would point to is a guy by the name of Curtis Martin. And he made this realization, especially when he went to college on scholarship and then made it to the NFL, he realized the better he was at the sport. It wasn't about propelling his own career. It was about when he leaves this career, he has a platform that would be bigger than the platform he has now. And so he was driven and driven and driven not so that he could be the best, not so that he could make the most money. And to see one's life as a continuum rather than an event is much healthier.

The video hooks the viewers in with an anecdote that draws them into the topic of purposeful goals and avoiding the trap of 'the charts'. The speaker gives valuable insights and personal experiences that viewers can relate to and learn from. The structure is clear and the message is complete. However, the hook could be more concise and direct to the point. And if you ask them if it's worth it, they all say yes. That doesn't go together, you know. When I think about even this podcast and setting purposeful goals for what we're doing here, we definitely fell in the trap of being like, I think a lot of people do. You get consumed in the charts. Oh my God, we're number one. Right? For now. For now, yeah. And then you scratch your head and go, well then what next? What's a more worthy, more purposeful goal for us to have as a team when we're building something like this podcast? Because it's so easy to get caught up in, we've already been number one in the charts. And that does drive you to some extent. It seems to be a reason, whether it's a vapid one or whatever. But what is a better, more worthy purposeful goal to set?

The video could improve its hook to better engage viewers. Nevertheless, the message is clear, complete, and aligns with current trends. The speaker's advice and examples create a personal connection with viewers, making it a valuable resource for improving communication skills. Is there practical things that you do with colleagues, partners, friends, to create that culture of seeking feedback, being open, being truly vulnerable? Is there practical things we can do to create a culture of seeking out that feedback and creating a safe space? You know, one thing is one of the ways we create space is how we react, right? If someone gives you feedback and you deny it, well, that's a problem. If somebody gives you hard feedback and you thank them for it, it's a very different environment.

The video successfully draws the viewer in with a thought-provoking hook and offers valuable insights about balancing work and life. The speaker provides a personal connection for viewers who may have experienced similar situations. The topic is relevant and timely. Overall, the video is coherent, complete, and engaging, but could benefit from a stronger call to action. Are the sacrifices worth it? And sometimes we hide the pain or the difficulties or the strains or the stresses with all the silly fun stuff, which is a salve, let's be honest. I mean, it does work to some degree, but not all stress is bad. You know, I joke, you know, often, you know, when we work hard for something we love, it's called passion. We work hard for something we don't love. It's called stress. Now, in both cases, you're working hard. You know, what's the difference between, you know, doing something you love and you work late hours and you sacrifice your relationships and you sacrifice your family, but you look at it and say, it was hard, but it was worth it, you know, versus losing all those things and all you do is get a Lamborghini at the end.

This video on self-awareness and personal growth offers an attention-grabbing hook that draws viewers in. It provides valuable insights and personal experiences, creating a connection with the audience. The message is well-organized and complete, and the topic is timely and relevant. However, it could benefit from even more unique and comprehensive content. Self-awareness, I don't know if that's a real thing, but self-awareness seems to be the foundation of personal growth, right? Because they do every diet, but they're not healthy people. So becoming aware about something in our lives and people can read as, I always say, people can read as many books as they like, but if they're unable to read themselves, they'll never really learn a thing. For me, and I wrote that couple of years ago and I had a guy in my office who read every single, he was actually one of the people that always came in with your books, right? He read every single book I've ever seen. He knew every book, but he never changed. And there was things within him that he wasn't self-aware about that I believe were the reason why he couldn't evolve even though he was taking in so much information.

The video presents a compelling hook by highlighting the power of narratives and labeling. The speaker effectively conveys the importance of being a good leader who avoids making assumptions. Additionally, the video creates a personal connection and aligns with the current trend of promoting diversity and inclusion. While the video provides sufficient examples, the addition of a call to action could enhance its overall impact. And all of a sudden we create a narrative based on the story that they tell us that they are a problem, that person's stupid, that person's lazy, whatever it is. Now they're labeled as lazy. Now we treat them as lazy. Now everything that they do or don't do is because they're lazy. But as a good leader, we can take those reports. We can take that hearsay. We can take those direct stories that people have. And we can say, thank you. I appreciate that. I'll look into it. I'm going to find out more. And you go on a little journey to discover what's really happening. It absolutely may be that they're lazy. That could 100% be it. Or maybe they're distracted for a reason or maybe they're having trouble at home or maybe we've given them a job that they're ill-qualified for. Or maybe they're having a personality conflict with somebody that they work with. Like the list goes on and on and on and on. And the good leader is finding that out.

This video effectively captures the attention of viewers with its engaging hook and personal anecdotes. It provides valuable insights on building confidence through exercise and ties concepts together cohesively. The speaker's personal connection with the audience is a strong point, and the topic of self-improvement is a timely one. Improvement could be made through a clear call to action. Now, again, there is a line. There are some people who actually overdo it where if they stop exercising, they gain a tiny bit of weight, they actually spiral. There is a line where they're actually not building confidence. They're actually building insecurity. But some of these things don't have to be big and lofty. They can be ridiculously small. So for example, for me, I am very good at disappointing myself. I have no problem disappointing myself. I'll wake up in the morning, two hours before my alarm, and I'll say to myself, you should work out. You're up super early. You've got a busy day and you just got an extra two hours. You could use 30 minutes of that to work out. Get out of bed. I'm like, nah. I'll sit in bed for two hours and just read the newspaper and play wordle. And two hours will go by and I won't work out. Do I have any guilt? None. I'm just like, oh, you're an idiot, Simon.

This video provides an attention-grabbing hook and valuable insights on the trend topic of generational differences. The speaker makes a personal connection with viewers and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of current behavior. The video has a clear structure but could benefit from a call to action for viewers. And they organize, they're much more, you know, the previous generation would like hashtag tweet my discontent as I'm sitting in my Uber on my way to brunch, you know, but this young generation gets out and organizes and comes together plus or minus, it depends. Sometimes it's a huge strength, the fact that they have that kind of energy. But sometimes as we've talked about as well, they also have the energy to quit instead of having an uncomfortable conversation. So strength or weakness, it depends. And so I think the way we have to approach all of these things is with empathy, which is instead of deciding if it's a strength or weakness to try and understand where it comes from.

The video effectively draws in viewers with emotive language and relatable examples, while providing valuable insights on the negative impacts of lying in relationships. The speaker's personal connection adds authenticity, and the topic of honesty is highly relevant. However, there is no mention of next steps or a call to action. One little white lie becomes another little white lie and then a couple of a year passes and you're so unaligned and so far from your truth that you're resentful that you're having to keep up with this set of lies. I mean, we talked about it with the guest on this podcast before. One of the mistakes I made in my relationship at the start was, I would say yes, I'm a little bit more of a human being. I mean, I was always like, this is the best of things that I didn't like doing. So I created this culture and this, also, this expectation. My partner thought I loved doing X activity at 6 a.m. Now I have to live out that life of something I do not enjoy doing because I lied at the start. And the journey back is not always so easy when you've persisted.
