Today’s guest is Steven Bartlett. He is the 29-year-old Founder of the social media marketing agency Social Chain. From a bedroom in Manchester, this university drop-out built what would become one of the world’s most influential social media companies when he was just 21 years old, before taking his company public at 27 years old with a current market valuation of over $600M.
Steven is a speaker, investor, author and content creator, hosting Europe’s biggest podcasts, ‘The Diary of a CEO’. Steven recently released his debut book, ironically titled ‘Happy Sexy Millionaire’ which is a Sunday Times best seller. Steven joined BBC’s Dragon’s Den (UKs version of Shark Tank) for Series 19 this January 2022, as the youngest ever Dragon in the show’s history.

Wow, his story around 6:00, with the "love was prison" lesson really hit home, and I just realized I'd been kind of indirectly taught the same thing. Similar experiences, here, too.

[@lables3693]

You two MEN are absolutely beautiful in the self discovery that you share with others!

[@connierosecoaching]

THANK YOU!!! Omg I resonate with soo much of this!! I'm also the youngest of 4, and I too asked my parents to split up when I was 12, and I'm so glad they actually did! My mum was the repeating shouter, (no blame of course, it's just trama patterns passed on from her dad and so on and so on...) And I first went to therapy when I was at rock bottom in my early 20s when I had got sober, and then developed bulimia... going to therapy set me on a spiritual awakening path that completely changed my life and it's why do what I do now as a coach. Knowing our own mind is the most important thing we can do, for ourselves and society at large! And I also recently realized my biggest fear is people thinking things that aren't true about me, so thank you also for the discussion on that! I know I'm holding back because of this! I love you both so much, thank you sooo much for being such amazing examples of conscious heart-centered men, you are setting off such powerful catalysts of influence, thank you, thank you! It gives me great hope about the future of humanity to see you two. I would love to see you do more podcasts together.

[@lewishowes]

Thanks for being here!

You guys .. if there is one thing i know, is that if you in a relationship the same person you were with your ex, you will attract the same people over and over again.

Appreciate you! 🙏

[@DirectorAtSomaya]

One of the best interviews i have seen in a long while. Thank you

[@bonganimathebula5780]

Lewis and Steven what your talking about is deep ,it's touching me deep inside, it reminds of a Dr Phil Macgraw book that I read back in 2005 called "SELF MATTERS" I didn't know I could be changed by a book like that, it changed me to the core in more ways than words could explain, I mean after reading it and doing the very intense exercises in it,I knew that I was never going to be the same, this conversation your having reminds me of that moment, you what I still have my notes from that book and the book is still in my library, My goodness what a book, Thank you Dr Phil

Thank you so much!

[@rachelm.keyser4902]

Lewis this was hands down for me one of the best Sessions done: The opening up, the Vulnerability and lots of learning that I have to look within to ask those questions. I learned about Steve just literally last week when his book was a suggestion on AMZ Audible. So to see him on here and learn more is inspiring. Thanks so much for sharing so much! 🙏🏽🙏🏾💜🤗💙

[@ef5842]

A person who screams as a means to be heard has not been heard growing up, and usually needs hugs. If that was their way with others. Yhen It's defensive out of fear. I confirm that and I am a changed person because alk through the years, my son listened to me and taught me that its okay to speak softly and I can still be heard. One hug a day with a Mom or sibling, or mate, is survival, two for communicating, three and four to be happier and it shows acceptance. A hug validates and shows we care. Boundaries show we care, and speaking softly and paying attention show we care. Neighbors don't need hugs, but friends sometimes do, but everyone needs a smile, and everyone needs word validation, especially family. Try saying I love you to family all day long. It becomes the polite thing to say and that shows we care. I enjoyed the interview. Our mission should be clear, service to those we love. I like the book The five love languages. Mine is word validation and hearing others voices, and food gifts. Everyone is a little different.
