The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett

981
Business #11All Genres #146

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.

    What about young women?
    I like the podcast and the content but the host rubs me the wrong way. Always interested in hearing about “what about young men” which is great but would be nice if he asked about young women in the same frequency.
  • RichardC827
    Highly informative
    So many great guests on the show covering a vast amount of categories. Thanks for all the incredible content!

    Absolutely love this podcast. So interesting to listen to Jordan Peterson. His discussion of faith and the divine was really interesting.
  • Oz2315
    Unsubscribed due to dangerous content
    I followed the show for a while, but just unsubscribed when you featured a well-known misogynist, Jordan Peterson. In the future, I hope that you will consider the implications of uplifting such harmful voices.
  • Ella P12
    Good content, irritating headlines and descriptions
    I like the interviews and the host. The content is of good quality. The headlines and descriptions are annoyingly exaggerated; clickbait material written with dishonesty. Why? You can do better.

    Fantastic Podcast!
    Steven is a really great interviewer! He is clearly caring, compassionate, and curious. He asks beginner questions to allow access for anyone from any background, and then includes higher level questions for more education and thought. He shares small tidbits of his own experience and life, but allows the guest to explain and talk the most. If you want to learn and grow in a gentle, caring, positive way, this is a podcast for you.
  • ZachElwood
    Had serial liar Chase Hughes on
    They had on a serial liar who has lied about his credentials in obvious and major ways. Google “Chase Hughes lies” to see what I mean: it’s a doozy. The fact they obviously don’t care to vet their guests whatsoever I think tells you all you need to know about ethics and level of quality Steven brings to this show. Even the slightest dedication to caring about the info they share with their audience would mean they’d Google and find this guy’s many red flags. It’s a disappointing statement on so many valuing clicks and money above ethics and responsibility.
  • EmilyD1974
    Who was watching your kid?
    Maybe Kids? Not sure. But the bio doesn't really tell the part of the story I'm interested in. Nor do any of the episodes I’ve heard. Making women invisible isn't answer.
  • 3rdL
    Stay Curious
    Steven shares his curiosity and is very pensive during his podcasts. I like that! No fluff or over praising his accomplished guests. These are digestible fireside chats that have so far expanded me in one way or another.
  • Xpadrile
    Very insightful
    I recently discovered Diary of a CEO and it is now one of my go-to’s whenever I’m looking to listen to something educational or motivating. Steven’s conversations with his guests feel very natural, honest and very enjoyable. I particularly loved the episodes with Dr K and I’ve shared quite a few with my partner and my friends. Great show!
  • kloverlyn
    It’s all about Perspective
    I appreciate this podcast and also Steven as an interviewer and host. I am truly interested in the guests that Steven has on his podcast because they feel well-rounded, intelligent, resourceful, and truly educated about the topics in question. Steven as an interviewer is very insightful, and his interactions feel spot on. He seems to really value the quest within the question; it never feels like his questions are trite or just thrown out there as a questions for the sake of a question…he is thoughtful, and you can know this by witnessing his pause and reflection before speaking. I also appreciate how much he sets aside judgement and allows people to just express their views and opinions based on their field, which, most of his guests have devoted their lives/careers to the topics of discussion. As an American who feels they can clearly see how manipulative and brainwashing the news airwaves are, this is an intelligent and refreshing alternative to gathering information from people who are dedicatedly educated to their field. Steven is my favorite podcaster because of this. I see many people giving one stars for reasons that feel like either: they are way too accustomed to instant gratification (=podcast is too long - what if you just listen to it in increments that feel better for you? Vs. expecting other people to bend to your method of controlling others for the sake of your environment?), they are too indoctrinated (=the guest is too political or shares an opinion they don’t agree with or are from the opposite party as them…what if they would have more of an open mind about other people’s real time experience in the positions they are in?), or they perhaps are too sensitive to the possibility that western medicine is really not all it’s cracked up to be, (what if it’s possible that we are not being taken as great of care of as we would like to think?) In the end, all persons have the birthright to seek to know greater awareness for their own sake. This has felt like an incredible avenue of information, no matter if I have a difference of perspective, I can also appreciate the perspective of others.

    Too much misleading info
    Dude needs to stop spreading potentially harmful medical info.
  • TonyS@11s
    No challenge to disinformation? Then it’s only fake news
    How can you trust a publisher who challenges nothing and platforms everything. It’s a shame there isn’t a government body to regulate such harmful content. Please consider causing less harm with the rest of your time here on Earth.
  • mrcamer
    Bad interviewing
    While guests are interesting and I can’t appreciate allowing them to speak, true journalism actually asks questions and pushes their interviewees on their false claims.
  • Shsomers1
    So much misinformation in recent months??
    For a podcast that says they do extensive research on each guest, I'm so disappointed by the amount of guests in recent months pushing medical misinformation. This podcast used to be so good.
  • no_thank_yew
    Shame on you
    Spreading healthcare misinformation and increasing the burden on our already strained healthcare system is reckless. You should be ashamed for platforming these types of guests

    Sharing Your Diary Again
    Seriously…you sharing your diary again - and what you shared - felt so personal, so real and frankly so f-ing valuable on many fronts that this podcast will stick with me for a very long time (and I’ll be sharing it within my community as well). Thank you for being willing to do that again.
  • KazzleZA
    More personal diary entries please!
    The episode of you going back to your original format was exceptional, please keep up this addition to your incredible show. Also looking forward to your 10 pods as the interviewee in Jan & Feb. Your show is 10/10, 5 stars, 100%!

    “Body Language” Episode - Best Yet
    I never leave reviews… but DOAC is my favorite podcast and the Body Language episode is the best yet. I will listen to the full episode a second and third time it’s so valuable.
  • JSJagodinski
    Gullible moron
    Imagine a host who agrees with everything his guest says.
  • Laurenm333
    Amazing
    Steven asks the most thoughtful and vulnerable questions, which leads to amazing answers from his guests, and learnings for the listener. If business, existential questions, life purpose, and self development had a baby, it would be this podcast. Thank you, Steven, for finding and hosting such amazing guests, and for asking the most thoughtful questions that lead to so much guidance for your listener. So grateful for the knowledge, and wisdom that I’ve learned from this podcast!
  • a good girlll
    Terrible Interviewer
    Why would anyone listen to this drivel? Terrible interviewer, only responds when the guest gives him a compliment or asks him a question. WASTE OF TIME.
  • Chaim K.
    Loved episode with Brian Keating
    We need more science on DOAC! Thank you both
  • soulrockerTLee
    Billions
    What do billions of people do when tech takes over? Crime and destruction ensue. Schmidt’s utopian expectations do not factor in that people need productive lives. Look at India, Africa, Haiti, and yes, even US. Maybe everyone becomes a farmer and cobbler and weaver again
  • Rewards are great
    Galloway
    This episode is the exact reason Trump won. He doesn’t understand half of America and Steven ate up every bit of it. Super disappointing. All left wing propaganda talking points. When over half the country thinks we’re headed in the wrong direction and their standard of living has decreased, I would listen to them. Not say we just don’t understand the economy. Abortion is not the number one issue for Americans. The boarder and inflation matter more to people. Get out of your elitist bubble Steven and talk to real people.
  • Sweet Tea in Tennessee
    Clickbait titles. I’ve unsubscribed. Sorry.
    This used to be a great podcast. I don’t mind the different viewpoints. I DO mind the clickbait headlines. A friend of mine, my spouse and two adult children feel the same way. I’m sick of it. I won’t be falling for it again. I’ve unsubscribed.

    Great stuff
    Steven has such a way with people. He is kind, smart, and a good listener. I don’t know much about his business aspect, but I thoroughly enjoy just listening to him, let alone the amazing guests he has on. Keep up the great work Steven!
  • SammyIrene
    Real
    With everything going on in the world today, I’m glad that Steven provides a real and open show with lots of different perspectives. He doesn’t insinuate anything in his questioning, he listens, and he is relatable. Glad I found this podcast.

    Too long, too many tangents, great topics
  • 4TeeMe
    Measured
    I am a HUGE fan of Steve and this podcast but felt his interview of Boris was not as 100% fair and measured as it could have been. I used to alway admire how well Steve gave the guests the chance to explain themselves even if he didn’t always align with them. With Boris, he interrupted way too much before Boris even got the chance to finish his response or skipped to the next question and it was jarring at times to listen (I am definitely a no Boris fan). Hoping that for future guests like these, Steve can separate his pre-conceived thoughts as hard as it may be. Much love ❤️

    Way to BE
    As Steven Bartlett navigates his life, he takes us along. His diary is filled with conversations with the most current theoreticians. We all learn how to BE. Thanks, Steven.

  • glameemae
    Amazing
    Steven, I’ve listened to many of your podcasts and YouTube videos and enjoyed your interview and your interaction with your guests. I’ve never seen you challenge any one of them the way you challenged and fact checked Boris. I understand now you are happy with the EU and the Uniparty. I never thought that France would imprison the owner of Telegram or that England would threaten to jail someone for posting a meme on social media. With the next Nov 5 election our country will find out if we’re doomed to join the Uniparty.
  • WILART13
    Love this podcast, but…
    I truly love this podcast and the people that come on and the stories and information that shared. The only unfortunate thing for me is that the episodes are too long. I find myself putting off listening to an episode because taking two hours to dedicate to a podcast is too much. I think they could be edited and synced more into something that is better palatable. If the episodes on average were between 30 minutes and an hour, I would be able to give it five stars.
  • irishhoopz22
    A must listen
    Long time follower and there’s not a single episode I’ve not heard. This is a must have for everyone who wants to gain knowledge and be entertained
  • Limitl3ss61
    Love the DOAC podcast! BUT, I was unable to complete “the Anti-Woke expert” show
    I do not like the way the word “Woke” has taken on a bit of a negative tone. The Governor in Florida has said multiple times, “Florida is where woke goes to die!” As a Black Female, it was simply spoken as to pay attention/stay alert to your surroundings…and understand not all people are pleasant/kind…not as a victim hood, but as the “game” of real life. Sad, but true, racism is real, and people are not pleasant/kind.
  • Tired of listening
    Giving a platform for idiots and hacks
    Steven Bartlett continues to give a platform and audience for any idiot who is a self proclaimed expert and writes a book on it. It’s rich to hear a guest downplay their privilege and talk about wokeness as an insult to those who are aware of the way the West has been set up and have grown tired of giving deference to this average white men. Steven doesn’t challenge any guests he simply allows their to express their far right opinions while they self proclaim to be on neither side. Apparently any idiot w a microphone can run a podcast.
  • Gustavus W.
    He got red pilled
    I used to like this podcast but over time it feels like he allows guests to spew backwards ideas without giving any pushback. I’m unsubscribing.
  • jillmickelson08
    Refreshing podcast
    I’m so glad I stumbled on this podcast. He does a great job allowing his guests to actually speak. I find this rare these days in the world of podcasts where it seems like the hosts constantly interrupt their guests and interject their own thoughts. This is refreshing. Also loved the interview with Tyna Moore..fascinating!

  • xx~LL
    Used to love this pod
    The host is wonderful I loved his vulnerability. But the show went from one I couldn’t wait to listen to for hours. To very concerned for what I could be listening to. It started with a masculinity expert who I didn’t disagree with but then didn’t love him saying Andrew Tate had some good points. Then there was someone stirring up vaccine stuff, then another male guests whose quoting some not so great humans and then the professor on behavior. To be fair I really thought he made great points up until the last 20 min when he called Kamala a communist and then spouted great things about Trump and tried to cast doubt on issues that have very much been researched and debunked. The host didn’t push back and ask for evidence on his claims. Had the interview ended 30 min earlier it would have been good. Informative. I’d have no judgment.
  • LisaKVetTech

    I remember months ago when I was thinking, “why does this podcast not have a million viewers?” Happy to see this well-deserved success!

    Love this podcast
    I’m not sure how I came upon this podcast (I think from Mel Robbins posting about her segment) but I’m so glad I found it. The interviews are fantastic. Such a wide range of guests and information and presented in such a relaxed and natural way. 5 stars!
