Seems to me @TheDiaryOfACEO that you need to interview someone with another angle on why young people are having heart attacks, looking at a majority of the comments.

Your credibility took a hit with me after failing to address mRNA vaccines in the context of this conversation.

[@Suebee1988]

Mo is right about the podcasts...Your interviews touch on such deep topics, having one a week would give me the ability/time to really digest the information. Just my take...but then I'm no billionaire so perhaps I'm not your target audience. I will say, as someone who has faced the very real possibility of death on more than one occasion, the time you have with your girlfriend may be unexpectedly shortened...do yourself a favor and use the time you have to make the most of what you have. My husband and I celebrate the anniversary of when we met, when we married and the anniversary of every month...And I know that one day I will look back and be glad we did.

''While life is supposed to be lived, we spend most of it planning to live it'' - that hit hard

[@obsoletecd-rom]

Planning? More like living to work instead of working to live.

[@dianemcghie3422]

I'm pretty sure Gid didn't put us on earth to be e slaved as workers to make few people very rich. We are cogs in a machine, that's not living, it's existing.

[@afrolid2127]

Really that hit hard !

[@thementalist298]

yes, but if you want to live longer and better you have to do some kind of plan.

[@RuggerProductions]

Saved that exact line

[@kellio8087]

1 year of chronic work related stress caused autoimmune disease that almost killed me. The business owner begged me to stay so I stayed until I finally ended up in the hospital. My shutting down body forced me to quit my job. It took me 3 months to build my body back and nearly went homeless. I almost lost everything. I will NEVER sacrifice my health to help someone else get rich ever again!

[@Vlad-bs1js]

But will you do it to make yourself rich? While you were indeed working for someone else, you were still doing it for personal gains (money, status etc).

[@seanguzy9601]

Yeah and top of that, when you do heal, what? Are you really suppose to desire being your higher self. " which could be someone who helps these rich scum " like you could want to be a nurse. However, you were descieved by these people and now you lost ALL DESIRE to want to help these people.

[@Micaswarriors]

I am just as stubborn as you! I don’t know there was anyone else out there that can completely ignore your way into an autoimmune disorder. 🥴 I hope you’re doing better!

[@angelofsiryu]

I feel this. I made half a million for a company just to see barely anything from it. All I got was stress, tears, and a mental break down. My mom died from autoimmune response to stress. So I'm happy you survived although almost being homeless is so stressful too. I hope you are in a much better place in life.

[@grahambiggs5438]

Steve, Mo is right. More than one Podcast per week is too much. Not just too much for you, but too much for us. There isn’t time to keep up with them all. Thanks for a brilliant episode. Mo is a rock star.

[@Hovss]

Watch them at work or make time for them. I like more episodes, YOU can pace yourself

[@SleepisHealth1]

We need time to reflect:)❤🎉

[@NB-lx6gz]

Yeah but Steven really wants the money so he will pump them out..

[@denithy]

Honestly. They make more money though.

[@dan-in-asia]

@grahambiggs5438 Spot on. Most of Mo's / Steve's podcast are so full of wisdom, that I hear them multiple times (usually while swimming). What is interesting that I pause the podcast for reflection at different times each time I listen to it. Basically, listening to it again triggers new thoughts. Which is amazing. Long story short: 3 podcasts would be too much. One would be actually perfect

[@karlacode]

I honestly started crying with the last question and answer. I feel like I watch so many podcasts and listen to speakers and conversations but Mo is such a beautiful soul. So much wisdom. Very grateful to be able to listen to these podcasts. Thank you.

[@DC-fw7ie]

Anyone who has lost someone close to them & has experienced bereavement can relate to this. It puts everything into perspective and makes us reassess our priorities. I lost both my parents at a young age and view life very differently to my friends who have not been through it. Great podcast

[@sarahfinnigan7002]

He’s right. 2x a week is too much. These are long. They take time to get through, let us digest them. Give us time to get hungry for the next one, to get excited when an interview drops.

[@keirra6327]

I agree completely.

[@Hovss]

Joe Rogan drops a 3hr one like every day. You can’t digest a pod in 3-4 days?

[@stefanatzankova8640]

I came to the comments to write the same message! I also would like to catch up on old episodes, but they are hundreds. It's impossible. Two a week has only been discouraging me even to start a new episode...

[@oscillis]

​@@Hovss Did you come here for the comments and to be petty or the information in the video that you completely digressed?

[@TamaraJoy7]

“You’re releasing two podcast sets a week? Crazy! Crazy! You’re stressing yourself and you’re stressing your viewers!” 😅😅😅 funny… but I have to agree Steve.. these podcast guests pour SO much information, wisdom and knowledge into my brain that it takes a good week to digest it all! Having to keep up with two a week IS a lot to handle and chew on!…

[@dychui]

Yes ! I loved this section you quoted. My wife and I feel the same way; we only really have enough time to properly digest one podcast a week.

[@WahDihStorySeh]

I'm glad you raised this experience. I stopped listening consistently because some topics are heavy or I've had a lot to chew on; however, I am still here. I too provide a weekly program and If I follow the stats and the prods from social media, I'd be posting something everyday! ( I do not have a big following) and they say you must grow it with a lot of actions and posts. It is crazy. I like what I do and the content I share, but I have empathy for the viewers. Also, these companies will not put me on the threadmill and ruin my life.

[@galwieltauren497]

@@dychui Yes, I feel the same. Two per week is too many to process.

[@queenedmab9184]

Wow!!! This is so deep. One of the best episode of the Diary of a CEO. Mr Mo got me thinking and rethinking how and why I live my life. For what??? Like he said, life is supposed to be lived and we spent most of the time planning to live ....THAT WAS DEEP. Thank you Steven for bringing such amazing guests and thanks Mo for sharing these gems with us❤🙏

[@angeeiselt1507]

Best interview EVER! Do one episode like this a month, enjoy the immense impact you create and reduce the stress in your own life. That’s real success! We don’t need more money, more power, more status, more productivity, more efficiency, more “things” in our lives… We need more fulfillment, contentment, peace, love, appreciation, gratitude and joy- and these things cost nothing. Love,love, love your show…

"AMEN"

[@Vlad-bs1js]

While I fully agree with the comment, I can speak from my personal experience that this path is also a pretty lonely one from a romantic point of view, at least for the time being. Women very very rarely want a man that doesn't chase conventional status (money, power, ownership of "things").

You are so right regarding the childhood impact on stress-I saw my parents fighting so much to pay the bills-They only told me to study hard and always have a job which I did-started as an intern with IBM at 19 years old and never stopped working like crazy for big IT companies. I am glad COVID gave us the opportunity to work from home and rebalance our work life balance. Now I put myself first!! I want to enjoy my life with a peaceful mind and have time to go to the gym. I wish I have done these changes earlier!

[@ElinWinblad]

WFH doesn’t give any balance unless you previously commuted an hour each way - still sucks

[@julieterrell1973]

Absolutely agree, I thank the bad thing that happened, covid, for the adjustments we made in working from home. I was working a ft job and serving at night as a single mom not realizing I had really neglected my presence in my daughter's life, and in being there for myself. I now have time to have a better relationship with her, my family, with eating right, with looking at my finances. I stopped eating the fast food I was bringing home cuz im too tired to cook. Everything changed for the better. Good changes came from a tough situation.

[@Peter-mj6lz]

@@ElinWinbladidk I think it depends on the person. My sister works from home. I notice the major disadvantage of working from home is that it’s probably harder to fit in the time to get vitamin d through walks. It’s harder to buy food to cook meals as lots of convenience stores are situated near to stations. However there is more freedom over your schedule as you don’t have to commute or even dress up to go work, depending on the role.

[@superbri007]

Mo has been on this show like... 3-4 times now... and every time, it's amazing. I love his perspective. This man has RESILIENCE, as most of us know he suffered a tremendous loss of a child. I have the utmost respect for MG, and I thank Steven for bringing Mo back on. Your team should discuss having Mo on like once a week or month and call it a DOAC 'Mo' Minute... but I'd listen to Mo Gawdat for hours.

[@HayleyMyles-j6v]

Steven one podcast a week is enough… we all are time deprived… let us digest and look forward to the next podcast please ❤ one of my favourite guests, he has walked the walk and has so much wisdom at the same time he still has to continue to work on himself 🙏🏽💕

[@CamGuyInsights]

Listen, we need to slow down. Pay attention to our hearts and remember to be grateful for what we do have. There is always someone out there that has it worse than we do. One thing I notice - there's lots of hate right now. In some cases, many cases, its warranted. Try and pray for the ones that make you angry - stay in the moment whenever you can, hold your loved ones close. Much love to everyone.

[@alanawebb5770]

I struggle with the suggestion we break ties with those friends that are suffering, because of the effect their suffering has on us. Boundaries are important, and finding them is takes time and effort - but suggesting its reasonable to set boundaries by saying "we shouldn't see each other until you fix yourself" is very simplistic advice to be giving to such a wide audience. To be in community is to suffer with those you care for, and in turn, they suffer with you. The lesson is to be vulnerable yourself and to ask for help also. If they don't, or can't, return the favour you leave - because that is not community. But I think we break ties too quickly these days and do not give people the genuine opportunity to improve the relationship. And saying someone is "too negative" is feedback that is nearly impossible to work with. You need to be more specific, more personal. "when you say X, I feel Y". Give them a chance to meet your expectations before you "lovingly" discard them.

[@josephmaffit6429]

[@ZefirVsokolade]

It’s so touching to hear MO’s outlook on relationships … this is a TRUE example of an awakened relationships - inner work on one’s own development will make finding love easier even if the probability to find the person is low - one would want to date oneself to be vibrating on the same wave length to attract the same partner ❤

Prioritized my well being 4 yrs ago & cut work back to what feels tolerable (I'm self employed) & have a good work life balance now. Problem is that I'm now 30g's in debt which creates an entirely different steess. Cost of living went up so much & I've considered moving & cutting costs, have consulted 5 or 6 advisors over the past 4 yrs & there's no good solution.. there are no reasonable ways to cut costs.. so problems arise when prioritizing your well-being which in turn is bad for your well-being... it's tricky to figure out the balance which is partly why people don't try.. it's tough

There is a good solution. At the risk of sounding trite, Change your life - radically. Look to natural, not normal.

@@constancewalsh3646 @constancewalsh3646 Very good to consider. My livelihood (my work) depends on both a relatively convenient living location as well as a good internet connection. I do get the cheapest one I can, though.. do not have any TV packages, no cable, don't buy Starbucks, don't eat out, etc, do all the right things.. that's why the advisors had no advice.. definitely do try to be as low budget as possible while also keeping my job going which I need in order to keep going. Still unsure how I'll get out of the money hole. But my point is more about understanding how people get stuck & why they don't try...

[@Fak_It]

Was not expecting that tail end segment about relationships. I came into the podcast thinking I'd get a lesson on how to handle stress but walked away with life lessons, or experiences at the very least, that my parents have never even once talked to me about. It's absurd how I'm learning more about life by listening to random strangers talk than from the people who raised me.

[@mariajoy4541]

I do know how you feel, I say to people often with no irony at all, that I am nearly 50 and only just learning how to become human, and it is because of all of these podcasters and psychologists and therapists on youtube. But it makes sense that the bigger variety of people you learn off then the more you will learn.

Best Takeaway: 2:25:19 "Dating is an internal job. You work on yourself. If you get to the point where you would date you, you'll find the person that you're looking for." - Mo Gawdat

[@maosdevera]

I can't get enough of listening to Mo Gawdat talk and explain basic principles we should all be following in our daily lives!! It's always a pleasure to hear Mo put so many things in perspective!

I've had 2 strokes from stress (at age 27) and even still now at 32, im constantly stressed - with work. The struggle I have is actually finding the head space to even think about changing work / career. with two 2 year old's, changing work or taking a salary cut isnt viable so feels like im stuck in a box. Really interesting listen, going to have another listen to try and digest more of the conversation

[@Mookyjoe]

Mo’s voice and his accent are so endearing and mesmerizing!! I love his cadences as well😂 I’m hearing what he’s saying but I’m not really listening. I’ll have to come back and rewatch later😂

[@meaningfulmakings]

If it helps. When I was trying to find out why I drank alcohol to access I was obsessed with trying to find the answer. Then someone said “if you want to know why you drink, stop drinking and you’ll find out.” So I did stop and wow did I ever find out why I drank. 😮That was 25 years ago and I’ve not drunk alcohol since the day I stopped. Maybe you should just stop and see what happens. I was told the alcohol is waiting for me if I want to start again. Same in your case. Investigations like this are not for the faint-hearted - but you will be ok because you strike me as having the heart of a lion. 😊

Never knew that when I was a smoker 50 years ago I did it to manage anxiety. And then I quit. Bam! Anxiety and panic attacks ensued.

[@aniszaniszz]

Wow, I lowered my alcohol intake with 90% and I totally found out why I drank, I wish I found out sooner. Thanks for these words 😊

Speaking off ceilings… where in hell is the ceiling for the amount of value I receive from Mo Gawdat and Diary of a CEO podcast. This is the most amazing! 👉🏾✨✨✨ #GratitudeMuch!

[@Lukino994]

I just wanted to thank you for this episode, I have been going through a rough path in my life for the past year and didn't seem to be able to reemerge from this, I am starting to see clearer now and feel more positive day by day :) Happiness is defaulted, we choose to be unhappy!

I am so happy I live in this day and age where so much wisdome are allowed to reach our ears. It is absolutely amazing.

[@KiwiBee21]

Steven. Would you choose 400k followers or 5 friends? MO’s example of scarcity over abundance exposes so much about one’s true identity.

Easy for a millionaire to say quit your job. But most of us who hate our jobs and quit, will then have the stress and worry of where the money is coming from.

[@ShamieShaw]

Easy to talk when you are already rich

[@BillyHayes79Music]

Easy to lazily summarise a podcast full of great advice and viewpoints. You don’t have to quit your job to reduce stress.

[@MargaretHarahwa]

Not sure they said quit your job, but the way you deal with the stresses of the job is the skill to adapt ...ie change the way of thinking being motivational in that job to make things easy.

@@ShamieShaw he wasn’t born rich. He worked hard for it and so can we if we are willing to change our attitudes instead of blaming others and being resentful towards them because they are successful.

[@camilleminer6604]

I finished this podcast for the fourth time, in 3 weeks?!!. This conversation is truly inspiring and phenomenal. I love the entire conversation and I hope you two get to create more together soon. Thank you for all the wisdom, because of you I get to grow in more ways I could have ever imagined.

[@flyingdiscofrog]

One of the most interesting conversations I've heard in a long time. It was all over the place, yet completely made sense and came together like a symphony. The personal touch of two friends speaking freely was beautiful. Thank you.

[@Inskbang]

Such a pure interview never ever seen it before .... 3 hours podcast is a healthy and educated podcast i would definitely re-watch this interview again when I am free 👏👏👏👍👍 you both were brilliant

[@mebratgeb3029]

This almost feels like therapy but requires radical honesty thank you

[@paulinitagomez]

I looooove Mo! Is always THE BEST GUEST can’t get enough of him. ❤

[@christiandelodder8975]

This is by far my favorite podcast. Mo cuts through all BS like a knife through butter. His views on ego, capitalism, greed, ... are spot on! An amazingly intelligent guy who blends a spiritual and holistic view with the reality of our daily grinds... eye opening! Thanks Steve for inviting Mo and sharing these views

[@mrabetdrs]

This is the best real conversation I have ever heard about today's world.

[@mariapc765]

Mo always manages to blow me away, and the way Steve guided this interview is impressive. I listen to every DOAC episode each week, and I’d love to see Steve reduce the number of episodes he releases. Like Mo, I believe (and hope) that Steve is on the verge of pivoting into a new season of his life. It’s time for him to shed the old beliefs that tie his value to an endless pursuit, making room for a life that is more grounding, fulfilling, and wise. I think he’s ready to take the time to focus on what he has long said matters to him, inspiring us to do the same along the way.

[@judytaquino6412]

Mo, you are very wise. If only people would heed your words. Live in the present. Bigger and more is not better.

[@mikPet81]

I listened to this entire discussion, and there's nothing that I can't agree on, everything is spot on, the professional stuff, but also the personal stuff. I don't think people realize, how hard it is, after going through such intense bad stuff, and to remain not only sane, but ever caring and mindful of others, is not easy

[@jamieknapp]

WOW, that went DEEP!...i've never seen steven so silent!...some seriously deep questions there to ponder

[@BK-vz3mx]

It is not deep. Just don't think on a superficial level.

Oh God as woman who live in Africa listening this wisdoms from two gentle men is much more profoundly make me to feel privileged thanks to the technology! Having this kind of people is a hope for humanity. Thank you so much! If thank you is enough for the feeling I how am grateful I said so Thank you so much!!

I only discovered ye today. Thanks for a wonderful 3 hours. Steven I left a job that was really stressing me and halved my salary but my happiness doubled afterwards. Mind yourself, you are needed. I agree stress is like a drug. Mo, what a wonderful intellect.
