Each and every experience you are talking about with regards to being incapable to do something you don't like, but still being a complete learning junkie hits so close to home. Hope that I can look back at this comment in 10 years and be at your level! See you in 10 years!

[@jackhester3672]

Hi Steven, Not sure if you will read this, and I mean well, I just want to make a comment on specifically your comments of insecurities around 00:29:50 You mention earlier in the talk regarding having no time for meditating, despite you knowing it's important. I've taken a lot from your comments on so many hours in the day which I will implement in my life, however, from an outsider who follows your channel, I'm wandering if your using your own application to success, as away to avoid meditating, and dealing with some of the insecurities you mention at the timestamp above. I've seen in other podcasts you talk about staying up late, and eating which follows with shame / guilt. I'm also guilty of this, and from past experience, I know when I meditate this habit and feelings of security subside. So really I'm being a hypocrite, as I'm suggesting you spend that time late in the evening meditating, as clearly this is an activity that could be replaced with meditating, which would also put you in a better mindset for bed too. Anyhow, thanks for all the content from you both, it's helped me a lot this year, and really my comments above are a reflection of what I'm also failing to do. I will make the effort tonight to follow my own advise.

[@goingwalkaboutnow]

As a 64 year old, I wish I grew up with people like you guys. The current generation is very lucky to have both of you!

[@KN-bx9nt]

Love this. You're right, there are so many amazing, fair, clear thinking people to influence young people out there aren't there. Steven brings many of them to our screens! My aunt who died about 10 years ago once said how lucky I was to have the Internet Inc web and social to display my creative endeavours. She was an artist and said she would have LOVED to have that when she was younger. We take what we have now for granted often, but when you look back, you can see how much we have. Negative sides too of course, but huge opportunity and support

[@iamanthonyallen]

You sound like the game is up for you. You're only 64 - you could easily have another 30 + years to live. It's endless the things you could achieve in that time. Wishing you an amazing time ahead 😀🚀

I just love how Steven Bartlett speaks with others. The EQ of this man is sky high! He never interrupts and yet, he's still able to gently steer the conversation without pressure. He's a true master of interpersonal communications.

OMG. You just described my 8 year old boy when you said "obssesd with the things he likes and incapable of doing the things he doesn't like" I am 100% sure he will be joining the school of life soon. Listening to Steven gives me so much hope for my son.

[@chelseywithers4008]

Your son is lucky to have you

[@tennisobsessions]

I agree that you son is lucky to have a dad who appreciates his individuality. Not that my parents didn’t, but I thought something was wrong with me that I lost my love for the structure of school. I “survived” high and four years of college but couldn’t take any more formal education after I graduated.

[@ytralonfarmretreat]

My son is like that, he always has known what he wants and what he doesn’t want. As a parent you don’t have any say in it. Just go with it and trust him. My son is 22 now and it’s so much fun to see what he is making of his life. Your son will thrive!

[@hypcro]

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 📚 Steven Bartlett dropped out of university and faced adversity but was determined to succeed. 01:07 💡 Focusing on acquiring knowledge and skills early in life can lead to success. 06:14 ⚖️ Steve values quitting when something doesn't align with his feelings, leading to a more fulfilling life. 12:53 🕒 Discipline is essential, and it depends on the balance between the importance of a goal and the enjoyment of pursuing it. 19:07 🏋️‍♂️ Prioritizing health, even when it's not enjoyable, can lead to positive changes when you make it fun. 19:49 📚 Prioritizing your health is essential because it impacts everything else in your life. 20:03 💡 When making decisions, consider the discipline equation and how different priorities stack up against each other. 21:53 🪙 Change often occurs when the pain of staying the same becomes greater than the pain of change, emphasizing the importance of emotional triggers for transformation. 23:46 👁️‍🗨️ Personal beliefs are often more resistant to change than knowledge, and first-party evidence and experiences are crucial for altering deeply ingrained beliefs. 35:06 📈 To stay motivated and happy in your work, focus on challenge and the sense of forward motion, highlighting progress and small gains. 38:23 🏆 One percent gains can lead to significant progress when shared with a team, fostering a sense of forward motion and growth. 38:50 🎯 Pursuing a subjectively meaningful goal in your life, unique to you, is crucial for motivation and satisfaction in your work. 39:32 🕊️ Autonomy and control over your work are essential for physical and psychological well-being. 40:15 🤝 A supportive community of people you like enhances all the other aspects, making your work more enjoyable and fulfilling. 41:24 📚 In terms of creating a fulfilling career, the subject matter is less important than having these five essential elements: growth, purpose, autonomy, community, and alignment. 57:22 🤔 Don't compare yourself with envy; instead, separate admiration from aspiration. 59:25 🙅‍♂️ Beware of how self-esteem can distort your interpretation of others' actions and words. 01:00:07 🧐 Elon Musk's success is rooted in filling five key buckets: knowledge, skills, resources, network, and reputation. 01:03:29 💡 Prioritize filling your knowledge and skills buckets when you're young to set yourself up for success. 01:06:31 🔒 Embrace "Plan A thinking" by eliminating alternative plans to stay motivated and committed to your primary goals. 01:17:15 🎙️ Steven Bartlett's ideal scenario, if he had 500 million, would involve starting a media company focused on podcasts with creators who make a positive impact. 01:18:24 🏢 He would invest significant sums into his companies, such as Flight Story and Third Web, to make them the best in their respective fields. 01:19:03 🌍 Steven expresses a philanthropic side, mentioning investing in initiatives like the one with the Red Cross to help refugees and disaster-stricken areas. 01:20:28 💼 Steven discusses different personality archetypes related to work, highlighting his strong connection to the artist archetype and the importance of storytelling and creativity. 01:30:19 ⚖️ Steven and Ali have regular relationship check-ins, discussing both positive and negative aspects, and establish action points to improve their relationship. Expectation alignment is crucial in their approach. 01:36:24 🪂 Managing joy through managing expectations is key. Influencing your joy by recognizing the absurdity of life's luxuries, like flying comfortably on a plane, can be powerful. 01:36:38 💔 Unmet expectations are often the source of unhappiness in relationships. Addressing and managing these expectations can improve relationships. 01:37:48 🧐 Dealing with criticism as a public figure involves staying true to your values and intentions. This anchors you when facing both positive and negative feedback. 01:38:44 📢 Knowing where to look for feedback and where not to is crucial. Reducing emotional responses to criticism over time can help maintain focus on your goals and mission. 01:43:11 👏 Being patient and gracious with everyone you meet, understanding your impact on their lives, is a valuable responsibility, even if you occasionally fall short.

There is a reason why he is one of the popular podcast host

[@regalchic]

Stephen is a Genuis! I'm incapable of articulating how much of a blessing it's been stumbling into his podcast diary of a CEO in 2022. It can be very lonely when you're still sort of in the trenches in midlife with a hunger that seems very different from everyone around you. Listening to these kind of conversations has inspired me to become really incredibly audacious with my weird personality and dreams!

[@aquarelaart]

The intelligence and wisdom Steven possess is inspiring and grounding. Huge fans of you both, thank you for creating this conversation and putting it into the world 🙏🏽

[@georgenattrass7325]

Both are brilliantly succinct at conveying their insights, so always feels like time well spent listening to what the have to say! Steven and Ali, huge appreciation for you both 🙌👏

[@theflaca]

Are you sure? try endlessly quitting when the rent is due and you're too old to find another because migrants have flooded the city and taken all accommodation. I can't wait when you are over 50 and completely ignore by men and employers. Gee, reality hurts doesn't it.

[@GlenD.Vanherck-oc1]

Consider this as a perspective, not financial guidance: Avoid selling during a bear market. If you're uncertain about investments, focus on acquiring knowledge. If learning isn't your preference, channel your energy into creative endeavors. And if creating isn't feasible, then observe. The crucial point is to engage in action-anything other than withdrawing. Abundant opportunities are available. Seize them!

[@Danielucas17]

Despite opportunities existing in the market, entering without comprehension isn't a wise decision. To grasp the essential factors that influence your financial journey, I strongly recommend seeking assistance from a professional.

[@ragabkamel_]

Absolutely correct. I began my investment journey prior to the pandemic's onset and, to my surprise, generated approximately $750,000 in profits within the same year, despite lacking prior investment experience. My approach largely centered on seeking counsel from ERIC THOMAS WITT, a bona fide industry specialist. It is entirely possible to engage without taking a hands-on role, with the guidance of a professional.

[@ragabkamel_]

ERIC THOMAS WITT has proved to be a valuable asset on my investment path. I initially encountered his perspectives in a segment on an interview, and after conducting personal research, I initiated contact through his website. It may be prudent to independently assess his credibility too.

[@Muhluri]

Eww, bots

[@miriamlenihan2373]

Love watching you both together. It's like watching equals where neither is trying to over promote themselves. Just like a couple of old friends having a meaningful chat.

[@samarkoh]

Why do I relate to Steven about the home mess thing so much? I’m still dealing with it. It’s that thing you can’t shake off even though you’ve evolved so much as an individual. It’s like somehow, his talking about his mess gave me permission to be okay with mine. Thanks, Steven. Also, thank you, Ali, for the great question. I’m binge watching this at least 3 times today . Sometimes all you need is that reminder again . Life is full of surprises and beauty. It’s so interesting to me how the smallest experiences can make the most difference.

[@kjmom5875]

I love Steve’s protocol of when and how to “quit.” This is very valuable information; stuff they don’t teach us in school. Like he said, society glorifies “starting” but gives us no information on the converse.

[@samomokan]

I feel a bromance developing between Ali & Steven. My favourite part of this episode was where Ali explained how Steven interacted with Gordan at breakfast. It was so heartfelt Ali, you’re a great guy ❤️🙏🏾

[@jacintasekhon3119]

So true 🥹

[@TheCounterCulture]

This has been my best episode. I may have had tears in my eyes after watching it. I'm so grateful your emotional intelligence and wisdom Steven and I appreciate your line of questioning Ali. Thank youuuuu for this beautiful conversation.

[@allanmartinez7535]

Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.

[@josephregland]

yes, transportation, e-commerce among other sectors are expected to experience growth, but who knows, the market has been a basket of surprises..

[@allanmartinez7535]

Such market uncertainties are the reason I don’t base my market judgements and decisions on rumours and here-says, got the best of me 2020 and had me holding worthless position in the market, I had to revamp my entire portfolio through the aid of an advisor, before I started seeing any significant results happens in my portfolio, been using the same advisor and I’ve scaled up 750k within 2 years.

[@josephregland]

True, we’re only just an information away from amassing wealth, I know a lot of folks that made fortunes from the Dotcom crash as well as the 08’ crash and I’ve been looking into similar opportunities in this present market, could this coach that guides yo help??

Having a counsellor is essential for portfolio diversification. My advisor ASHLEY AIRAGAHI who is easily searchable and has extensive knowledge of the financial markets.

Thank you so much for this amazing episode! I wish, I could watch it over and over again for the first time. You both are such an inspiration and to see you two do something together is just a dream come true ! You are an amazing duo ! Please do more together! Thank you ❤

[@sathwikkanneganti]

My reflections: It felt like a refreshing change to hear massively successful business people talk about their inner worlds, what you FEEL. Especially the end was such a nice change, and much more vulnerable conversation. Things felt a bit awkward at the end, and it made me understand why people might want to put on a brave face all the time - it's can just feel more confidence-inspiring! But at the same time I love that it happened. I'm starting to understand the difference between overanalyzing situations and emotions, and properly internalising them. This is one of my favourite podcast episodes. Looking forward to seeing more of both of you 😄

[@karina_biagurova]

I think having regrets is a good thing. It is normal and very therapeutical to have them. Sometimes ppl mistaken regret with a guilt. Regrets gives us a mechanism to explore the life. To figure out what we have control over and what we do not have. Great episode, ❤

[@neol2535]

I absolutely love how Ali shared the Relationship review notion idea. It’s a brilliant idea and it allows for partners to do check ins and be more in sync

[@toluwanimiayoola7774]

I loved this episode so much. I'm so inspired by you both it's actually emotional for me. The brilliance, the eloquence the composure in the podcast is remarkable! Thank you.

[@rockyblumble]

5:58 this is so refreshing to hear. Obsessed with the things he likes and unable to do what he doesn't like. For many many years I thought something was wrong with me, since I absolutely hated school when I was a child and didn't seem to get any better at studying despite trying, while I could go hours and hours at a time doing something I liked. Knowing that there's someone like me who was able to get successful is nice to know

[@NakedwithNakeda]

This was great. I appreciate the honesty and transparency the both of you bring and that we don’t need to be perfect to get things moving, we just have to take action

[@Klemay1983]

I was glued to this from start to finish i have so much admiration and respect for both these men for the messages they put out to the world and how much they want to help provoke positive change in themselves and others.

[@LibrosparaCambiardeVida]

This conversation was amazing, what a duo! I hope you have future podcast episodes together, I really enjoyed it.

[@charlesbroomfield3362]

Steven was completely right about how happiness is a function of expectations. I'm such a planner that I struggle with it. When you optimize for the best outcome, expectations then naturally increase too.

[@hnnhml]

What an inspiring conversation to listen to! You guys are a top notch combo 👌🏻

I am seeking some investment guidance. It seems like I am never able to identify trends, options always go against me, and I can't utilize scanners efficiently. I am looking for a simple reproducible passive income strategy that supplements my income and eventually replace my wage income.

[@AndrianWiener]

While I don't consider myself an expert in this field, I'm sure you will find the expertise and support of an adviser invaluable.

[@RickMckee-nq4ni]

I have $50,000 USD that I'm considering investing in the stock market. However, I must admit that I lack the knowledge and expertise in this area. does anyone have experience in this field, and I was wondering if you could kindly point me in the direction of your advisor or someone you trust for guidance in making informed investment decisions. Any help or recommendations you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

You may Know Michelle Christine Parker but If you don't you may do some looking up and thank me later. She's been my adviser for the most part and it's been a smooth ride

[@shaikhnoman71]

43:31 I love how Steven started asking questions and Ali started to open up. It was like Steven was back at his chair.

[@dorcasolanrewaju]

Whichever seat you sit, Steve, you ask questions from your host or your guests. That's an inquisitive mind and lesson for me on the willingness to learn no matter how much we know. I usually don't comment on videos, I may type and never post, but I changed that! I stepped out of that habit inspired by your book, The Diary of a CEO I just got. I started reading, sometimes tear in my eyes, excited, challenged, and encouraged. Sometimes, I read again the law and concept you talk about that isn't clear to me. In all, it just feels like you are speaking to me directly and addressing the main points to my journey. I'm an immigrant from Nigeria living in the US with my family. I launched into digital marketing/business, which in my opinion is seemingly unconventional for my race, gender and status It's a new phase, and I am grateful for it and for your wisdom you have shared. I followed and watched your videos as much as I could. I'm learning and applying the wisdom to be better and be a blessing to many, too Thank you, Ali, for this interview. I had always wanted Steve to be on the "hot seat." 😊 I wanted to hear his journey, and here it is 🙏🏿

[@lindam4259]

Steven is a survivor...and a thriver! Not just very intelligent, but incredibly wise and kind!

Steven has got to be one of the smartest people I've ever heard

[@ChristinaAaliyah]

It's nice to see Ali open up about his struggles with comparison 50:08 sometimes I forget how we can all experience such similar things as humans. Just because you've reached what looks like 'success', doesn't mean the inner comparison will stop 💭

[@TWilsonSquared]

So good, Ali! Love your stuff and Steven’s stuff too. What could be better?

[@omotolaadegoke8830]

I’m overly excited about this episode, I wish this interview with you had happened long ago! 😃 this is a brilliant overview of some key concepts in DOAC - 33 Laws of Business and Life. As an avid reader of the book, there’s so much more in it so no spoilers here. Acronyms, completely my thing. I use them to enhance memorability. Alliteration, a technique I love for communicating concepts I hope are embedded. There are different ways of doing things and depending on the situation (logic applied always though) it isn’t necessarily one way that can always be right. Squats, also my thing. Interesting to hear of different perspectives on…things. 😊 Steven is incredibly mature for such a young person. His focus, determination and bravery in approach to business is inspiring.

[@kittybaroque9591]

HILARIOUS! Stephen beoming the Interviewer in the last 20mins and Ali having a Notion page to check in with his relationship 🤣 Two of my fave people coming together - LOVE!

I throughly enjoyed this conversation ☺️ Appreciate you both and all the wisdom and insight you share ❤

[@estherokoye7471]

Absolutely love love this conversation!!! Very insightful ❤

[@anasofiapinho]

On Power, Play and People, I think that because Steven only does things he wants/likes to do or has pleasure in them, he didn't equate adding something like play to his list of 5 things. Play is almost embedded by default in the things he does. Thank you for this conversation - I just noticed I'm commenting halfway through the podcast! 😅

[@AmeenasHouse]

I thought the same thing, and I also paused at 42:47 to read comments because I thought that distinction was very interesting 😅

[@jandryden]

Love the notion page and how you review your relationship! ❤ 1:31:40

I’ve been waiting for this episode. Always thought it would be “sick” (as Ali would say) and it totally was! Hopefully there’s another nugget on Steven’s podcast for a double treat 😉

[@graphicallydeb9897]

I’m 68, a female without college. If I could change one thing- there would have been podcasts in my early days. I loved to read back then, but being able to hear the pauses and inflections in your conversation makes your takeaway so much better and true to what you are thinking. Loved this so much. Thank you for being fearless in sharing thoughts and feelings that have helped and ones that challenged you.

[@samsonoluwaseun09]

Great episode, very interesting to hear the conversation between two people who have helped me learn more about life. Well done on this

[@sabirahguzana6383]

Thanks for the relationship review template, and the great content!!!!

[@barlymow]

This was an absolute treat! What a banger of an episode, this is the most valuable content I've seen to date. Thank you Ali, Steven and Team.

[@RussellTurner]

This is the tag team I needed to see. So much gold in here. Thank you both.

[@livingwithfshd]

The part Steven talks about the quieting concept I can relate to that. I always have a strong internal battle about my work. I have a good paying job but it just doesn’t feel right for me but I don’t know where the next move will be so I never quiet and just sit with this unresolved feeling and it being the rest of my life down.

Loved this episode, one of the best yet. Demolished the new book in a day, more Readwise highlights than any book I've read before, so much gold. Now Ali, when will the bonuses be announced for your book :)

[@garywilson4579]

FYI Steven's LinkedIn link in the notes goes to a different SB who is a systems engineer in the US.

Reminds me of quote "Don't let school get in the way of your education" or something like that by Mark Twain

[@shivendraurjagreen1938]

Love the relationship chat exchange ! Treating the realationship like a business with reviews and action points ! Fantastic

[@franklinhopkinsjr1065]

You are both awesome. I watch both your channels and appreciate your advise…

[@NicoleSlays]

This interview was so insightful 👏 ❤ Love it!

[@loniadeline196]

It's inspiring to see how flawed you both can be in some aspects and how open you are about it. Also inspiring are the systems you have for everything. Ali, I have that inclination for threes as well. Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone.

[@JustCaring]

That is so awesome 👏🏽 I feel privileged to be able to see this interview. I have so much to hear/learn from this interview❤

[@cherylnye5963]

Ahhhh I already had my schedule for the day but iv gotta squeeze this one in 👀 👀👀 Gona be an epic collab

[@christinarodriguesmusic]

Ali, regarding not enjoying going to the gym, It always amazes me how people think we all have to be doing the same thing aka going to the gym but we forget there’s so many other activities you can do other than going to the gym to stay active and fit that you actually enjoy: swimming, calisthenics, cycling, basketball, hiking, jump rope etc. etc. I had to acknowledge this myself

[@swastikapaudel]

I am so happy to see these people not only being a part of each other's podcast but also sharing the same studio! Just 180degree around. Awesome!

[@WDiaK25]

What an amazing episode! Thank you both Ali & Steven 🙏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻

[@user-nj9tz6rp5q]

Blown away by this interview. The leave of honesty here is so inspiring

[@katerynalappo9722]

Hi Steven, I just wanted to say thank you for being such an inspiring person. Your open-mindedness, honesty, and kindness towards others are truly admirable. I greatly appreciate your contributions to this world, especially in the realm of media and influencing people's ways of thinking. I hope to have the chance to meet you someday, to observe and learn from you, or perhaps just to say hello and give you a hug. Wishing you all the best, and congratulations on the book! Kate

[@jl4073]

Thank you for this interview Ali both you and Steve are my Fav podcasters to check out interviews and or your other channels… so this was Great!! 💜💜✔️🤗

[@SailingTeez]

Absolutely loved the interview. Learned allot and also had a good chuckle. Cheers to you both and keep up the good work.. Five Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@Estella-PlanetCreativeStudios]

I’ve listened to many of Steven’s podcasts. It was so delightful to hear you interview him and learn more about him more in depth.

[@Dontletthemdullyoursparkle]

Steve, knowing when to quit really resonates with me. I agree it is important to know when to quit. Its hard to know when to keep trying or when to actually quit. Ive often experienced that if you dont quit consciously something will happen to ensure you leave anyway. I want to know how to take control of when to quit but i think it comes down to being braver. Its scary quitting when u dont know whats next. I often just wait for the balance to tip. When it tips enough one way or the other you know thats an indication things need to change. Thanks for this conversation. Im referring to jobs but also relationships its the same as you say x

[@Dontletthemdullyoursparkle]

I'm feeling like I want to quit Mt job because I feel held back to voice my opinions. I know u r limited at work but I feel my boss in particular and culture there stops me from being myself

[@piroskavigh6359]

I completely resonate with the "pain of the alternative" comment. And it is difficult to see that sometimes you have to hit such a low level in your life to want to take more action. I can definitely feel that urgency right now. Not wanting to be miserable in 10 years from now because I'm barely getting enough money to live.

[@annyebei]

My faves are talking to eachnother!!!! 😭😭 there's nothing more satisfying than seeing 2 bros vibing and celebrating each other. *calmly continues watching with vigorously waving glow sticks inside*

[@brookes1911]

I love all of Steven's interviews but this is probably the best one I've seen! Bravo 👏

[@Photik]

[@dotpenji]

Steven Bartlett mentions the idea of "first-party evidence" being crucial for belief change and building self-confidence. Can you share an example from your own life where first-party evidence helped you overcome a stubborn belief or gain self-confidence?

[@markanthonymanayan2136]

The video featuring Steven Bartlett's inspires me to learn from those who've succeeded and are willing to share their strategies. Thanks you!
