About this listen

 I was a broke, university dropout, at 18 I built an industry leading social media marketing company, and at 27 I resigned as CEO. At 28 I co-founded Flight Story – a marketing and communications company, and thirdweb - a software platform, making it easy to build web3 applications. I then launched private equity fund, Flight Fund, to accelerate the next generation of European unicorns. During this time I decided to launch 'The Diary Of A CEO' podcast with the simple mission of providing an unfiltered journey into the remarkable stories and untold dimensions of the world’s most influential people, experts and thinkers. If you enjoy the show, please hit the follow button! That's a small way you can help us carry on doing this, thank you for listening.

I am learning so much

I have learnt so much about my body, gut, brain, and much more. I really like to listen Steven as I work. I even went and saw him live, when he came to NZ. The information presented gives me a lot to work with and I have incorporated several new habits into my life.

Greater awareness through deeper meaningful conversations

Steven pushes the every day boundaries of normal questioning to unlock personal accountability when interviewing anyone!
This shows a deeper hidden view and has the great achievers open up on their feelings showing everyone - It is a Grinder to get there, wherever the higher destination, physically and emotionally

Thanks Steven Bartlett for such an uplifting eye opening experience!

a must listen for entrepreneurs wannabe

I absolutely love Steve's authenticity and how vulnerable he can get in the things that he tries to express. The contents are an absolute gem for those who want to go down the path of entrepreneurship. Thank you so much Steve, I have never been one that is ever materialistic or have ever believed that materials ever give one happiness, a massive believer in philanthropy though. I have been thinking whether I have what it takes to be an entrepreneur and Steve gives such real and harsh details and I am so so grateful he created this podcast. God bless him!
