[@valerieluna962]

I truly believe that the day I found your podcast is the one of the precious and meaningful day of my life, especially after I have gone through such a terrible & tough period after divorce and finding my true self, my voice, and my self-worth... You are the most priceless gift. Thank you.

[@TheDiaryOfACEO]

that means a lot valerie! Thank you thank you!

[@TheCilou6]

I understood a lot when I realized that my father never had told me that he was proud of me. I confronted him and he told me that I indeed had disappointed him. I realized that up until this point I was only drawn to mentor figures that I tried to make proud of me. The day my dad told me I was a disappointment, because I didn't go to the right business school of all causes, I started to make MYSELF proud. And guess what, few years later, out of the blue, my father told me that he was proud of me. He passed away shortly after. So you're right, it's important to become aware of our childhood insecurities otherwise you can't overcome them. Sorry for my English, I'm French so it's not my first language.

[@nateoski3635]

Wow! Having found Steve's 1st and 2nd podcasts has been an absolute blessing. Hearing his story has been incredible. Seeing and watching his later podcasts have shown and demonstrated the transformation. Fair play! thank-you for sharing, being vulnerable, and allowing us to see behind the "curtain".

[@hilary729]

I hope you know how much your podcasts benefit people. You’re literally a precious gift in this world.

[@SuperGamingBeast1]

Great Stuff Steve! As a 19 year old uni student who aspires to be an entrepreneur, I always compare myself to successful and happy people around my age. I am insecure, feel like I have so many things to focus on and face so many harsh lessons each day (deliberately searching for them) that I grow from. I need to focus on my own passion and business idea; your story and philosophy really helps inspire me. Thank you.

[@TheDiaryOfACEO]

Thanks for sharing and keep going!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@RELOADzzzzz]

My brother.....Chances of you seeing this comment especially on a video you posted 3 years ago is probably very unlikely however, I still want to post this here. Your channel is a blessing from God himself. Mark my words I will watch every single video you have posted on your channel from your very first to your very recent video. You are right, Information is the key to all and the information you give out on your channel is second to non. Shoutout from NYC & a fellow Chelsea fan. You truly make me want to make the best of every second of my life. You're a kind person with a great personality and you deserve everything you have you really do. May God bless you and send you even more blessings. I'm one of the people that needed a role model like you to change my life around. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and keep doing what you do. There's no money in the world that can replace the love and information you put out there for us. Thank you

[@nicolef7765]

Im so grateful i found you! I watch these podcasts where you alone talk as they are very powerful and informative..i love them. I watch these every morning and i genuinely feel these are going to change my mindset and i am determined do this..just thankyou for taking the time and sharing your thoughts, experiences and your information i really value these! Lots of love and respect

[@Evallelyyy]

These podcasts kept me going during lockdown, and I'm grateful that the new season has started. Amen to the honesty and willingness to discuss YOUR opinion, rather than trying to people please everyone!

[@TheDiaryOfACEO]

💯its better that way! Thanks so much for watching 🙌🏽

[@weltcitizen3533]

Thank you for your authenticity. For speaking your truth. Seeking invalidation has helped me address some issues from my childhood that I thought were clear. And I've purged my social media of those who needlessly waste my time. I am a fan. Thanks!

[@Evapearce7]

Thanks Steve for the continuous inspiration and for the guests to bring into conversation! I have listened to your podcasts over the last few months and catching up with the older ones that I have not managed to watch. It has given me a great boost and a learning platform for the things that I am passionate about. Having an opportunity to listen to other peoples’ stories is really priceless and it gives a perspective. You are not alone! I have started my own business over the last few months, which is doing well and just working on another one with my incredibly clever husband. And this is after already having a long career in the corporate world where every day was dictated by the bigger beasts. Learning at any age is a gift available to all that want it. My family has a motto … Not knowing is not good enough. Go and find out! So I am! I am learning and finding out how to have financial freedom, how to have fun while working and how to do something that matters to at least a small group of people and their animals 😉. Simply and meaningfully … THANK YOU ☺️

[@kamallal1115]

Probably the most personal podcast I've come across. This guy makes me feel comfortable being vulnerable

[@luisluzz]

Just see now... Impressed. Have a similar story. Don't have mother, my father struggle a lot to raise me, and we don't have money at all. Now i understand the relationship i have whit money. The thing that invalidate me when I was a child, comes now was an adult. Love your work. Your way to speak, helps me to understand everything. I want to be better version of me and your videos help me.

[@DenisePattison]

You are right! Contrast is important in gratitude! I take care of people who are dying and i always knew it gave me great value in life, gratitude and perspective. I now understand that it’s via contrast and comparison I get those things, thank you for that insight.

[@alayejon]

Thanks for sharing these. I do suffer from the insecurities of our family's lifestyle and status while growing up but your closing statements shun a light on it entirely different from what I currently thought would be helpful and this video podcast just brought me so much value going forward. Thank you

[@TheDiaryOfACEO]

We all do! Thanks for sharing mate x

[@tinaelian8702]

Exactly the medicine i needed today. It’s so easy to get wrapped up in what you don’t have yet, that you forget to be grateful for all that you do, but to also see how far you’ve come. Self reflection is the reason for the growth i’ve gone through the last couple years. Thank you so much for just being real. You’re the coolest xx

[@raesetjaeunicemokhudu1533]

Ur podcast has officially made it to the number 1 spot on my list of key aha highlights of my life and I am grateful. This happened days after I had a head surgery for a brain tumor.

[@pauladuncanadams1750]

You are extremely young to have gotten this lesson, happiness and gratitude. Good for you for figuring it out. Many people never do. Kudos. Best wishes.

[@essbee5882]

I found your channel when I watched your podcast with Krissy Cela and I am so greatful. I have literally only listened to your podcasts for a few days now and the people you speak to and the wisdom you have is inspiring. I feel like I have found my people. Lol. You have also enabled me to have the lightbulb moment where i sort of knew the answer all along, but you and your other guest speakers clarified it for me. I am so motivated and I have not felt like this in 8 months. So thankyou and I'm excited to watch your journey going forward 🙂

[@AdamNajak1]

Glad to hear that you are safe and have recovered. Really interesting episode that was full of gems. Glad you're back on KZbin

[@meganbotterill]

You've helped me heaps and bounds and as I grow and change I hope to help my children do the same. Glad you left your company and started this.

[@JASPER-collector92]

I just love it! I spent the last couple of days checking a notification about your podcast. SO far my favourite one online :)

[@TheDiaryOfACEO]

Yes so good to hear! Every Monday I'll be releasing a new episode

[@JASPER-collector92]

@@TheDiaryOfACEO We basically lived the same childhood, and it was very emotional to me listening to your last point in this episode. I am not rich right now but I still struggle like you on how I deal with my money, in my childhood I was sometimes ashamed with friends on not being able to go to the restaurant to buy a pizza, I was telling them lies about not being able to go. I am not a Millionaire, but I think if I will become one, I will probably invest in my future, these thoughts that are you sharing with us are so VALUABLE. PS I wish I was the stupid guy who refused the job, I would ACCEPT without even thinking about it.

[@nalamaui6859]

I don't know why I chose to listen to the first podcast on this channel. However, I think this guy may have just become one of my idols. I didn't imagine explaining a few diary entries could be so impactful. Thank you for being you!

[@oldnewbreed]

I’ve been that. Looking to see how they learn. I’m building my personal brand after 30 years corp America and my work is theirs I own nothing, paid well but ya know I’m pretty awesome need to up my game my current is just free storage lol

[@zumbawithcathya]

There was a great production manager and development manager , who used to have a “red line” , he/ we would list all the stuff he was going to be able to do , then beneath the red line were all the things we wouldn’t do (this particularly related to development project , where people kept adding additional requests) …the stuff he wasn’t going to do , needed to be shared, as it was almost more important that was done ! Great person .

[@christinetaylor3799]

Steven I’m hooked working through your Podcasts because I’m finding them so interesting & rewarding to me personally. I’ve recently semi retired at the age of 68 so do have some time on my hands at the beginning of another chapter in my life. I so wish you had been around with all of your valuable inspirational conversations, wisdom advice & guidance as a young mixed race girl back in the 1960’s like you the only one in the school with Afro hair lol to help me along. However you weren’t & I stumbled through not too bad either but I’m glad I’ve found you now & passed you on to my own son who has worked through adversity to where he is today someone I’m so proud of. Also my 16 yr old grand daughter to help her along too & anyone else I know who will benefit greatly from your podcasts, that’s how impressed I am & know your parents must be so very proud of you too. Have you helped them sort their home out ? 😂 You are gifted & generous sharing all of this quality advice guidance & information thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’m also genuinely interested in working for you in any way or form I have a wealth of knowledge & information to share to & I’m willing to work voluntarily for you so I can keep on learning in a very interesting environment within a network that is so varied stimulating & inspirational I’m up for it 😊

[@pauladuncanadams1750]

Thank you for your honesty. I know you more in one episode than others I've known for years. And I am impressed.

[@li-anminies2801]

whyyyyy?! howww?! HOW does a person turn down a opportunity to work with Steve and team?! Just listening to podcasts, reading insightful posts, always being in awe of how they put their content together, knowing they exist, etc. is an opportunity and advantage itself.

My friend told me about your podcast series tonight Steven and it came at the most perfect time in my life, I have sat and not only deconstructed what you’ve said to relate it to my life and understanding why the decisions I have made have led me here now, it has provided me with a great set of knowledge which I am going to implement into my already progressing life. You are very inspiring and I have watched you on dragons den for a while now. Hopefully one day you will see me take my current business concept and plan to becoming one of the most successful platforms in the world. This is just the start, I’ve got a lot more episodes to go! So I’d better get back to it🙏🏻 I am sure I will meet you one day and until then I am going to manifest the shit out of my life and what I want to achieve in every aspect of it. Respect to you 🫡

[@cookingthebooks901]

9:44 Yes I agree. Because we were never taught about the difference between Assets and Liabilities. And I have only learnt this properly just a few years ago. If kids knew this before they finished school. People would make better decision making in life.

[@teddynakato2100]

Teach your child the value of information and to distinguish the difference between the short term gains and long term gains. Some tricks will never learn them until you reach that level. Rich guys have their ways how they play the game of money.

[@methelyon]

Hi Steve, Have you considered changing the name of the Podcast? Lex Fridman (great podcast worth checking out) recently changed from "The Artificial Intelligence Podcast" to the "Lex Fridman Podcast". He has a very good explainer video documenting why he changed it. But basically to venture out of his very scientific box and speak to / attract a wider range of guests / listeners. I wonder whether you might have a similar experience, having left SC, it might be worth considering rebranding to something more Steven Bartlett and less CEO. Glad the show is back, just my 2 cents added. Peace

[@oldnewbreed]

I’ve been deep diving into creator pages to see their growth yours confuses me. Oldest content is two years ago.. looking at style and thumbnails looks like born GOAT.

[@mahfoozm4213]

I love these podcasts! - I genuinely look forward to the diary of a ceo live event. I still have my ticket! 💯🥰

[@nicola_k-s]

So, I decided to start from where YT will let me start, which happens to be episode 53 as it considers this to be the oldest. Though I might add that I did indeed start on the Morgan Housal interview, which I found enlightening as with this video. I have always lived by the motto that 'Knowledge is power' and will always listen to audio books, podcasts, etc ( never been someone who can sit still to read a book or if I have it's rare). It's funny how Amazon has been stalking me with the 'Diary of a CEO' book for the last 3 months now, but I just kept ignoring until I added it to my audible list. I'm a strong believer that you can alter your brain, though never did I think the shape would change but I suppose that is why Einstein's brain weighed so much. It takes a while but you can alter your thought process for the positive over the negative. I realised quite quickly what I craved as a child that made me feel invalid was the love from my father. He never showed love nor did I recieve it from his parents (my so called grandparent's). He ended up leaving us when I was 9 for some floozy who had no care that she was destroying a family. I grew up dating the wrong men and finally ended up in an abusive relationship when I was 24. When it ended finally at the age of 27 I just took 5 years out to unscrew my head and stay away from all men. I really accessed myself and broke down every part of why I went for who I dated and where it all stemmed from. I was brave at 14 years old to cut all ties with my father but the repercussions of being a child took me to the end of the abusive relationship to fully understand after lots of soul searching. I finally valued what I actually had in my Mother, Sister, my maternal grandparents and Stepdfather. I think you never get over it fully but it sits on your shoulder like a parrot and squarks at you from time to time. With social media it was fun at the start but having also be bullied as a child, I quickly saw it's negative impact and deleted everyone that had never either spoken to me in person or had not known me online for a long period of time. You learn pretty quickly that everyone bar the special few are acquaintances. All notifications except family and the few are turned off which was done 2 years after joining. I use it to keep in touch with 2 group's which I follow and post the odd dog that I come across as being lost or stolen or another cause.
