[@ColetteBasley]

I've watched all Vlogs from the start of this series. Tonight's was on another level and even better with sound, thank you. I LOVED the clothes swap between you & P.J. Nice exposure of the brands you wear, fantastic alternative business deals - great advice and offer of using Bali B studio, loved the Mini-Cine too. Lovely thank you prezzy you gave your team. Does that mean it was you S.B. Driving that Mercedes over the ice in a snippet from ep1 or 2 of these vlogs? And it wasn't James Bond 😏🤣. Keep the positivity coming in these Vlogs. Great editing & Music on this one Will.👌. So, what else can you give us ? 🤔. A slow pan shot of all the book titles in the background of DOAC. And please let's see the research side of things. As for that emoji... 🙏 See you here next week 🙌 P.S. got my ticket for Liverpool 🙌

[@TamaraJoy7]

Man Steven you looked really hot in that Jacket and accessories for Dragons Den! ❤Thanks for yet another brilliant episode!

[@lukes.1276]

Vlogs are really nice and catching me! I would love to hear more from the team in the background. How is it to work with Steven 😅 maybe also from entrepreneurs from Dragons Dan. ✌🏻

[@Craig.Moores]

2 things I would like to see are… 1- the stories of your team (who’s / Who) etc 2- tips and tricks of running your own business (a golden nugget each week) things we could apply to our business from Monday Thanks for sharing what you do love watching and if you ever need to give Will some time off I would love to jump in as a great sub 😊

[@suzannelucero86]

Steven, I am learning two things while watching you working behind the scenes. 1) No one becomes a successful entrepreneur without a dedicated team behind them, and 2) in order to create a dedicated team, the person in question should work with their team, making sure the work is challenging but fun, rather than placing themselves above everyone else and expecting those below you to do all the hard lifting while you reap the rewards. Oh, and a third thing: reward your team as well as you can. You are blessed to be able to reward your team with an all-expenses-paid trip to an international destination for a skiing holiday. How refreshing it is to see someone sharing his wealth with those who helped him make it. What an incredible roll model you are.

"aligning me with the world, the life, the people who are meant for me and it's shedding the people that aren't"....that was my favourite bit right there! Also, I bizarrely LOVE seeing your google calendar 😂

This chick right here 👆🏻 taught a left handed clutz like me to crochet. For that, I'm ever so grateful 🥰 Thank you Sarah Jayne 💜

[@kenophilly4911]

What I love about this video, is how relatable a multi millionaire is. Steven doesn’t seem like an abnormal guy but more like a guy with an exceptional inner belief and a plan. It just shows what can be possible.

[@enos.]

I've just turned 20 today, and i can't even express how much inspiration you have been and still are for me, you and the whole team, your vlogs are just awesome, and you are making me love business even more. Thank you Steven, and I hope to meet you one day.😊

[@gloryoyewobi4590]

BTD Feedback: Love: You’ve found your pace of editing - the fast paced edits keep attention grabbing & keeps the pace of the story, whilst the regular speed conversations bring us into the room with Stephen. The storytelling style of videography (setting the scene with a variety of drone shots, keeping the camera on people faces when they say intentional/purposeful things and intentional B-Roll that provides contextual information for the audience). Creative Edits - the ability to flow through Stephens digital calendar & showing us videos/photos/articles of what is being mentioned so we can have a deeper understanding on the conversations. Sound and engineering is exquisite - the mix of raw sound and the soundtrack with intentional “clicks”, “taps” & “bells”. Improvements: Inconsistencies on the detail - unfortunately the standard has been set with high attention to detail and it’s now an expectation, so when you miss things (eg. Not putting the brand of jewellery that Stephen is wearing in the dragons den changing room) and decide to gloss over it, it appears sloppy. This has also happened in previous videos, with details being mention then being ignored in post. Lastly, it feels like you’re still figuring out the reason behind the videos - are we deep diving into important parts of his schedule (like a daily KZbinr vlog) or are doing a fast paced overview of his week. It feels like week by week it changes and sometimes the story gets lost within a video when you start of with a fast paced overview then slow down into a deep dive. Both of these are fun to watch, informational and engaging though. Will is a legend and the editing team is solid (you all are absolute masters to be able to turn all that raw footage into the artistic vlog we watch every week) x 🧢

[@PaulGreenVlog]

Agreed..... I know dyslexia is mentioned but spelling errors in captions is very common

pretty sure will is the editor too

[@cindyou3851]

The best part of your behind the diary videos is really SEEING how good company culture is created-it’s the little things, the way you’re just YOU with your staff. A true embodiment of the value of treating people, like people (with kindness) ❤

[@sashadamon9586]

Whenever a vlog comes out I watch it over again 3 - 4 times a week (before work) not only because I just love watching them, but it reminds me what I’m working towards even though I’m so so far from it now. So many important lessons on team work and also just so inspiring - Thank you for these videos!

[@jerryagius200]

What I particularly like, not just with this video, but with all of the Behind The Diary videos, is how down to earth Steven is with his employees, and the week in the lift of an inspirational person who really does things for the interest of anyone, and to teach every person something new with every video. Glad to have stumbled across Steven's content!

Seeing your humanity is what I enjoyed the most about this episode. The way you hug people is seriously heartwarming. Thanks Steven and team.

[@itiseffable]

Genuinely think this is my favourite thing you've produced. So good to see behind the curtain - and being a peacock rather than a salesman is the perfect analogy.

[@paolo9683]

My weekly inspiration. Love how much of a team player you are and show this in your vlogs, birthdays, gifts and just making them feel awesome!!

[@B-FirstFireSafety]

I love that you give credit to your staff and treat them so well, I would love like a hot minute from each of them in separate episodes on how the 1% better has made a difference to their work product

[@JustOliTV]

I love how genuine you are throughout the whole video and behind the scenes. Keep it up as it is and I would love to be your vlog videographer for one episode

[@pquirke]

I love how human this vlog comes across. It really shows joy and reward that everyone gets from working so hard for 1 goal. Congratualtions to your team and keep these behind the scenes episodes going, they really help elevate what you are doing and what you are about.

[@DOACBehindTheDiary]

Love that!

[@mathew0192]

Appreciate how you took the time to plan and book a staff holiday and even a timer! With your busy schedule that is unreal! You are genuine!

[@michaelgonzo3827]

What a gem of a person Steven is, and credit to his team also! So influential and inspiring.🙌🙌🙌

[@beyondweb5691]

🎯 Loving the behind the scenes Steven. Its great to see a glimpse of your meetings and day to day office life. Would like to see more on how you organise your time and delegate tasks. Keep up the inspiring work, you're making us better entrepreneurs with every video so thank you!

[@FamilyFreedom]

Thank you for this wonderful insight! My favourite thing about this vlog is finding out what a beautiful soul you are! Thank you for everything you do! 🙏

[@rlwsmith2002]

Great vlog, loved every minute of it, deffo great insight to what you get up to behind the scenes, more of this please!!!

[@careersonyoutube]

1.Sub series within each episode A. Behind the Producer B. Behind the Editor C. Behind the Social Media Manager 2. 30-second bloopers @ the end of each episode 3. Steven or guests to wear a heart rate monitor during a podcast (would be interesting to see analysis) 4. Give shoutouts to small businesses @ the end of each episode

[@levimisengaonlife]

Agree with the last one, give shout out to small business 👏

[@SiGk-oz3fg]

Love all of these points, fair play 👌

[@Mientjie1976]

I like that!

[@Shan27777]

You’ve done it again with another incredible video ! I think what you do is so inspiring and I think the way that you give back to you team is just an example of how dedicated you are and how much you care about DOAC and also everyone behind the scenes who we don’t necessarily see but you appreciate and applaud there work . I think you could do BTS episodes focusing on different members of your team and things they get up to in the day. 😊

[@manjotarora5928]

The vlog really is the best thing ever. It’s so good and interesting hearing the ins and outs and the details of it all. Seeing how a successful human being in a society operates and interacts - ridiculously inspiring

[@wanasaur]

I loved how the combination of depth and fast paced editing, also inspired by the leader you are - caring about your employees like your family. That’s the type of entrepreneur I want to be one day ✈️

[@reecewilson589]

Honestly, the vlogs keep getting better every week. Hats off to Will for his great work on this. Here is my feedback: What would I change? - Learning more about the people behind Steven Bartlett. Who is the DOAC team and what are their personal stories? Also, who are the people behind the companies you invest in? - I believe, through my own experience, that mentorship can change the trajectory of someone's life. Would love to see more behind the scenes of Steven's interactions with mentees. What do I love? - Seeing more of the Dragons Den behind the scenes and post-investment meetings. This episode was the best so far for this and is starting to hit my previous point on mentor x mentee interactions. - The moments of humor (i.e. swapping jackets with Peter and mimicking each other). Unfortunately, we are often distracted by work and become overly serious. Seeing successful entrepreneurs being people and embracing fun is just as inspiring as what they do professionally. Finally, my entry for the emoji competition: 🚀 Excited for more vlogs and hopefully the opportunity to talk to you soon, Steven!

[@andycrisp761]

Love, love, love the show. Especially how it’s so raw and we see glimpses of you working. One change I’d make is just having someone quality check the text that’s displayed. For example, when you met with the cacao entrepreneurs, the word ‘episode’ was spelt wrong. I’ve noticed it in other episodes as well. But that is such a minor thing and I love spending my Sunday evenings watching your content. Thank you for making my Sunday evenings 😊

I love the way you bring so much calm and humanity into the room. No sign of any ego and the passion you bring to each of those ventures oozes out of you. You can see how proud you are to be part of their future and what successes they will have. Very inspirational indeed, and i really enjoy that content as not many will let you in behind the scenes, thank you .

[@chrish.3435]

I love the authenticity of this vlog! Watching the episodes makes me feel that I am part of the journey. I also love the caps! 😄

[@bryonwebster9028]

Ive watched dragons den for years. Am not wanting to be an Entrepreneur, I enjoyed it to see the people’s vision become clearer and better with the help of a dragon. In the old days, I didn’t always think that dragon is cool or I’d love to work with them …… Then YOU came along !!!! You have made Dragons Den Appeal to such a bigger audience now & seeing you in these behind the scenes vlogs makes me realise that no matter how much money you have, no matter how successful you have become all you ever want to do is HELP !!! I still do want to be an Entrepreneur, but YOU have helped me become a better ME !!!! Thank You 🙏

[@arreybate]

👍 Loving the Behind the scenes so far. Serves as an inspiration to see what happens backstage which is my favourite thing. Love how you treating your team and learning a lot from that as one who manages a small team.

[@DOACBehindTheDiary]

Awesome, thank you!

[@gabierudyte9202]

What I particularly love about this vlog is seeing your interactions with everyone you cross paths with. Whether it's audience members at the talks you were giving, or the behind the scenes talk with Liam from Full Power Cacao. Offering them to use the breath work studio for free (and reminding them to celebrate this moment!!). Your kindness and character says a lot! 🙏

[@TomGasser]

I decided to comment on this episode because I truly enjoy what you guys are doing with this channel. I’ve been following this channel since the first episode, and I’m the type of viewer that rarely comments on a video, but I've gotten so much entertainment and knowledge out of the past 5 months of videos. Seeing behind the scenes of the podcast and Steven’s work life is so insightful and interesting. Through the podcast, I’ve already gained some knowledge, and this channel is the cherry on top for me. What I overall really like is that every, now weekly, vlog has an overarching theme that gets discussed throughout the video so that you guys are able to mix entertainment and knowledge depending on what the viewer is looking for. In terms of storytelling, it ties the video together. The funny moments that are spread throughout the video are the perfect way to lighten up the video. What I truly enjoyed over anything else in the vlogs are the segments where the podcast guest comes in and sits down, and we see the conversations before and after the video. Personally, I feel like, even though it sounds weird, it makes the guest and Steven more reachable or more „normal." I guess it has to do with the nature of the recording of the vlog compared to the podcast episodes. In the podcast, the viewer knows they’re watching a video. But with the vlog, the camera is handheld and from the pov of someone really behind the scenes, and this, I’d say, makes it more immersive. I like the length of the videos, and I think keeping them around 30 to 45 minutes is the optimal length. Now, regarding this specific video,. The theme of this video was very cool and interesting. The Dragons Den is something that no one just vlogs about, at least, so naturally there’re a lot of questions around it. Taking the question of what happens after the den to the business was a really good choice. Aside from being a popular question, it gives brands a better chance of reaching new people. What I also really like are the motion graphics like chats, DMs, Google searches, and Stevens Google Calendar. The only thing to consider, in my opinion, is that the callouts for people working in your companies have very complicated-looking motion graphics that are stunning, don't get me wrong, but compared to the rest of the video, they are a bit overkill since all the other texts, animation, motion graphics, etc. are held very simply. That's probably just my taste, but I thought I’d write it down. Btw, the animation about Perfect Ted I really liked, which I would not call simple! Another thing I like is when Steven talks about his thoughts about something that happened before in the video. (25:35) It gives great insight. "Will you subscribe?“ is a perfect call to action. Some things to maybe consider The „coming up“ in the middle of the video I’d put at the beginning. It could act as a mental check list for the viewer of all the highlights in the video. Then, when watching the video and a highlight from the beginning comes up, it’s like ticking off something on a to-do list. For example, now I know why Will took a golden book from the shelf, but what is up with the boarding pass? I’m going to watch further. I’d put it at the beginning because then there’s this ongoing thought process throughout the video. What you could do is leave Steven’s intro at the beginning, but right after that, put "coming up“ with all the highlights from the vlog. There’re sometimes errors in the video, like missing animations or editing faults, that, with another watch, would get caught. But there’s nothing else that comes to mind right now to improve. To end my lengthy comment, I have a concept for future videos that I think could be interesting. A portrait of a person working for DOAC. Quick, like a 2-minute segment where they can explain what they do and who they are. Like the segment with Smyly, Steven’s driver. I think it would be very interesting to get to know the people working for Steven and what their job is. And for the emoji I’m going to take my favorite animal 🐼 Please keep up the good work, and I’m already excited for the next video!

[@florissmeets928]

Would love to see everything in person, even if it would just be for an hour. Honestly this is a huge inspiration for me every time I watch the videos I feel for power to achieve the goals I’ve set myself! Much love from Germany❤️

Hi steven and the DOAC team! I'm loving the mix of personal blogging from you and having someone film you. The mix of showing us the pitches and you talking to the entrepreneurs was also really interesting. Also the behind the scenes with the Matcha brand. I would like to see more business and thoughts like that (door sales man vs peacock, or how you looked for a quote every day) I'm a muralist/artist running my business for the first time so I'm trying to soak in as much information on how I can be better. I'm sure a lot of us are entrepreneurs of some sort so thank you for giving us something to not only learn from but get excited about why we do what we do

This vlog/channel Behind The Diary bangs simply because of how real it is. It's raw, unscripted. We've always known you're brilliant from your interviews with people on DOAC but seeing you engage with your team and fans shows your heart and how empathetic you are. And that bit about not wearing a suit everyday , refreshing. 😊❤😌

And about the learning experience this video has been. Wow! Completely amazing. It is my first full DAOC video that I watched. I watch Dragons Den for years now, and I am entrepreneur myself. What hit me the most was the Peacock and Salesman story. I have been envisioning that and preaching with my wife and team, but didn’t have this clear idea and explanation for it. Also the deal about posting every day a quote and the results simple consistency can make. Amazing. So what I liked the most is definitely hearing those spontaneous answers on real business/life problems that entrepreneurs ask you. As I believe that many can relate and strongly benefit from them. So, more meetings on camera please. :) Also seeing after stories and behind the scenes development of the companies you invested in, as we never had this opportunity with DDs companies. Great stuff, this is what we (BIG FANS) have waited for many years! Another thing is taking us trough your day and watching interactions with your team. I would suggest even little bit more into how you function with your team. Some bits that could be helpful for us to implement with our team. Operations, scheduling your day etc. Loved it, took a notes, learned much needed thesis and am waiting for the new one! Hopefully my emoji wins, already posted it. 😎

Emoji: 📖 , surely! Loving the vlogs, I've been listening to the podcast since 2019 so its great to see behind the scenes. Keep up the great work 💪🏼

I love watching the vlog. I love watching how you interact with everyone in the different facets of your life. I enjoy seeing how you navigate your business decisions, how you prepare for shows, and how you interact with fans. You know when you are watching it, it's real and not manufactured. You calendar is immaculate! I love seeing it flash across the team. I would love to understand better how you truly leverage your time when you have lots of things coming at you. The last ten minutes of this video was amazing!! Giving myself an obligation is just what I needed to hear! Thanks!

I love seeing your meetings with the entrepreneurs you've invested in, and especially how you encourage them to work in their Zone of Genius!

[@jadeallan5351]

I love how you're showing how anyone can do something if they set their mind to it. Also, how do I work with you guys?!?! You're staff must be the most happiest staff in any workplace!

[@AdrianAcostaPR]

He Steve and team! What I love the most about these vlogs are the authenticity in which you and the team portraits on camera. Genuinely believe this a culture in which many, if not all companies should adapt.

[@unLsd]

Really admire the respect and appreciation Steven has for his employees, acknowledgement and recognition goes along way. 👊
