Big thank you to you both. Looking forward to buying your book Trinny. .Fear Less ...take care and enjoy the day xx

So glad you interviewed Trinny. She's truly an inspiration for so many different reasons.

Would love it if you could get some authors on your podcast to share their stories!

[@ingosthemanhoe]

Hi steven. i was listening on spotify on my way to work. and u where once again going on about people subscribing. and i thought why arent they. and i thought about my first time subscribing to a channel, and back then i thought it would cost me money. so you can maybe mention that its free from now on and and i think you will get a lot more subscribers. have a nice day :)

[@loredelore7286]

Phenomenal woman. She's 59, 60 next year most people are looking to retire. She is running a multi million pound company, hands on mother, entrepreneur, employs 200 people. There's enough to inspire anyone.

She loves her job. Why would you retire when you love your job. Incredible interview, both incredible people. Steve is so good at this..

[@user-fx7sd1dg5q]

I feel the same. Steve, you are a brilliant interviewer, most interviewers interrupt so much because they are uncomfortable in being quiet. Your strength as an interviewer is being comfortable listening. When you listen is when you learn the most.

​@@LornaGrace72I get what you mean. It was a difficult interview.

[@CL-ns6sy]

@@LornaGrace72 Agree, not sure what qualifies Steven to act like a psychoanalyst. The point is about what she has achieved and he was pushing too much into the areas she may not have wanted to share so much about. There's some latent misogyny here and a lot of entitlement from someone a lot younger and less wise than Trinny. 16.06 Her graciousness exposes his naivety here, she's drawing a line.

[@mikb5587]

Seconded

[@lyv3070]

Yup…cuz women are oh so emotional 🙄

[@gillh405]

Such a fantastic interview, you really should be doing this on TV. Allowing Trinny to recount her partner's death without feeling a need to speak is a rare quality.

[@semi-chubber2388]

@@lyv3070this is quite an emotional reaction…

[@KittenJam]

hhmm this comment is odd. Maybe you need to meet more women, there’s lots who can articulate how they feel through, with, in control of, emotions. Emotions arent bad things either

[@QoyLawal]

Trinny's breakdown of Imposter Syndrome is the best I've heard.

[@sohosteveuk]

When she talks about her ex husband it is so painfully evident that she is still grieving very deeply. Bless her 🙏🏻

[@equatorialjourney4478]

I think she is skilled at avoiding and deflecting this aspect of her life which is disingenuous given her overall story ‘& MO . She knows how to skirt around the honesty & deep dives that Stephen usually manages to extract, so successfully & powerfully , from all of his interviewees . Its very disappointing as it detracts from her ultimate credibility . But, I guess that’s how she has honed her craft and exactly how she has managed to hustle for so long . Got the feeling S couldn’t be bothered deep diving enough w her bc he had her pegged v early on and realised her ‘ non answers’ would ultimately expose her . Enough rope tactic and she is one who took it

[@victtayl]

@@equatorialjourney4478 I got the impression she is likely protecting her daughter when she won’t go into too much detail around Jonny and his difficulties and nature of his death

[@upendasana7857]

You have absolutely NO idea what YOU re talking about.Have you ever lost someone through suicide !!! what the hell do you know and who the hell are you to judge anyone or anyone grief and whether it is genuine or how they are dealing with those emotions or whether she is avoiding things or not.What utter and absolute BS and you know what ...it is exactly this kind of judgemental "I am better BS"that leaves people closed up about their mental health and feeling trapped and fearful of judgement.HOw dare you judge another person grieving process or what she appears to be sharing and if it is genuine to you or not.Utter outter BS.Your is exactly the sort of attitude which is contributing to peoples poor mental health and stigma and people feeling desperate enough,it says everything about you and nothing about her !!!! outrageous judgement.@@equatorialjourney4478

[@user-oe7br8ww5n]

I don’t think she wanted to go into too much detail about Johnny and his death because of their teenage daughter. I think that’s fair enough. She was open about her addiction.

[@maureenbouey]

@@equatorialjourney4478 I see what you classify as Trinny avoiding and deflecting as her a) protecting her own privacy in a way that only she, herself can judge is important and b) considering what she believes is helpful for her daughter to hear. Stephen is skilled at what he elicits from his guests and didn't fail at getting more deeply into Trinny's story; rather, Trinny managed her own boundaries of what she felt she wanted to divulge to the world. Trinny is as authentic a person as I've ever come across. No BS and filled with compassion.

[@CC-oj8nf]

how is she not an actor or voice actor , her voice is amazing to listen to

[@anniezion]

Really? I find it too deep (probably from smoking) and a bit "made up"in this interview, compared to when doing her thing on IG.

[@papercup2517]

@@Talentedtadpole Was that the Trinny and Suzannah 'What Not To Wear' show? I have to admit, what I do dimly remember of those shows was that, while enjoyable and sometimes doing quite a good job of 'making over' their client/victims(?), their highly prescriptive approach seemed to be to take each unique woman, drain her of all her individuality and turn them all into clones who looked like conventional middle level office workers. And to get them to that point, of accepting that total obliteration of their personality, they did bully and shame them in a terribly condescending and often rude and foul-mouthed manner. The only reason the show was enjoyable to watch, for me, was because the two ladies (Trinny and Suzannah) were strong and entertaining characters. Their taste was relentlessly boring. From having watched the first 10 minutes of this interview, I was happy to hear Trinny went through a personal reorientation and was able to connect with her true self. I just hope the ladies they helped' were able to recover their own true selves too, and I wish them along with Trinny and Suzannah all the best.

[@sarahshanks9028]

At 34 I’m finally there. I feel happy and confident and honestly I wouldn’t change a thing about it where I’m at now.

Diary of a CEO is one of (if not the) best series of interviews ever. With every interview I feel myself connecting with the subject through their honesty, vulnerability and willingness to share everything they know and have learnt. There is no vanity or whitewashing. And Steven’s non-forceful style, experience and comfort with pauses and silence creates a safe space for the interviewee to breathe and then go deeper in their story. This interview with Trinny was an utter delight . The grief she shared was palatable, as was her passion for helping others and her authenticity is why her business will continue to grow - when Trinny speaks about skincare and products you 100% believe her. I’m off to get me some of her skincare now!!

Having the patience to allow the spaces to speak, that's masterful. -the contrasts and parallels between minimalism/lack and abundance are so striking. Minimalist set, Trinny discussing life events where she pared back her material possessions...all that set against 4 drinking vessels and a gorgeous, lush set of product packaging. I'm not describing this well, but it's a powerful impression that I'm taking away.

thank you Trinny you are amazing. Listening to you talk about your grief of losing Jonny has helped me so much with my recent bereavement and has helped me to think about how I move forward with my loss and my grief, thank you are truly inspirational

[@lindahamila]

I love Trinny so much. She is such a great source of inspiration for women of all ages, and in so many ways. I am 43 now but remember watching What not to wear when I was a teenager, and I am still a huge fan.. AMAZING woman ❤

[@aandhlam8688]

Trinny is such a genuine human being being. I am so fortunate to have found her. You’re the best trinny.

[@kicksheads]

What an amazing podcast! So glad you showed her as I wouldn’t know about her otherwise. My God, what an inspiration and so much needed examples of how to pitch, deal with grief and prejudices … hands down, she’s one of the most legendary women I’ve seen in the past 5 years❤❤❤

[@singmarysinga745]

Amazing absolutely top conversation and inspiration. She is amazing but I also loved how you let her have the space while remembering awful moments in her life. The silent you gave her and the pause and also the laughter. Best interview I ever seen ❤

[@LindaJeanElder]

What a profoundly powerful interview. I am in awe of what Trinny has gone through in her life and yet, she inspires so many people and has such a wonderfully empathic way of working with women. Truly inspiring! Thank you ❤

[@samanthaking4034]

I love Trinny. Her energy & vibrancy got me through Covid lockdowns. Love what she is doing for women.

[@emem2863]

This was an awesome episode! I remember Trinny from her Not to Wear days. I'm glad that she's living her best life! She is very wise. It's also refreshing to see someone who is naturally gorgeous without the over the top need to look like an unnatural version of adolescence or 21. It actually makes her look younger than her age.

[@essp3688]

I love this podcast, it's the only one I want to listen to. So thankful I found it around a month ago. 🙏🏻 Maybe I would say it's the best podcast I've ever listened to so far? I'm looking forward to all new episodes!

[@randomchannelzz]

My two absolute fave CEO’s! That interview has made my day. I went to Trinny’s first pop up in May 2018 and have remained loyal ever since and introduced all my friends. Products are incredible and so is Trinny.

[@BlackSun-hh4dg]

I like her energy. She's spontaneous quiet and modest in a very humbling way. Bless her soul.

[@kb-warrior]

Great interview. Loving the setup. Not clouded with microphone scaffolding that creates a chaotic space between the participants. Giving guests the chance to speak full uninterrupted sentences. Keep at it.

[@Raisinwithano]

What a powerful interview! I have been watching and reading Trinny since her early TV days and she truly continues to inspire and support. I was one of the people who would never have purchased beauty and skincare on-line, and now I do, thanks to Trinny and the personalised “Match-2-Me” service. This was such an insightful exchange and thank you for allowing the space to breathe the responses. Wishing you continued success!

[@Saff231]

Her comment about needing to be in the right environment to process and feel the fullness of emotions resonated so much with me ❤ Great interview

[@acedeyah3664]

This podcast helps me so much with my mental health its unreal thankyou so much steven honestly gives me hope listening !

[@jayrickards8395]

Used to love Trinny. Love her even more now. A woman with real strength and determination but also lovely to see how humble she really is. Definitely want to give her products a go now.

[@CarlaGalynin]

My favourite interview so far. Thank you Trinny for your honesty and your inspiration. You’ve really touched me. Your drive is infectious. Thank you 🙏

[@GodisLoveUK24]

Best interview ever in my honest opinion. I didn’t like her before now I have the utmost respect for her and I’ve learned a lot from her. Well done for the right space for her to open up more . Absolutely pure class interview

[@lprobyn1]

Well done, Trinny, very inspiring. Some of these questions were challenging, and you stayed brave, honest, and wholehearted ❤

[@crym77]

Her voice hypnotizes me.

[@Wildlyexploring]

Wow wow wow! I have always loved Trinny’s larger than live personality but allowing us to see her vulnerability and pain, with such strength and grace had me in tears. So much love and respect for this amazing woman. And what a bad ass business woman too. Super inspiring. Thank you Trinny and Steven. ❤️

[@junedanaher3861]

Trinny you have given me the inspiration to keep going. I am at a cross roads in my life right now.I have watched your fashion videos & always enjoyed them. I had no idea what you went through. You are so strong & thank you for sharing. You have helped me

[@jessic178]

This is a woman I want my daughter to look up to so inspiring she is better than the pop stars, I want to learn from her ❤

[@jacquelinesharpe3714]

That was an incredible conversation, and I enjoyed it. I love Trinny bcos she is, as you said, authentic.She genuinely understands women no matter your background.

[@alicerobinson9533]

Throughout the entire podcast there were so many conversations I wanted to have... but Trinny, I just want to give you the best hug I can give and keep hugging. And I want to thank Stephen for his interview skills to allow his guest to communicate their story, it is a unique ability, but has such an enormous impact

[@alamedadanceparty]

A vulnerable side of Trinny that I’ve never seen. I really appreciate how she loves to bring out the inner vibe of someone she is doing a makeover on and really highlighting the best of them. She is a powerhouse to be reckoned with!!!

[@janmorgan7435]

Tinny is so truthful without needing to say too much. Such an inspiration. Thumbs up for this channel 👍

[@yayahulles]

Trinny 's energy, honesty, knowledge and laughter literally got alot of us through Covid! Her daily check ins through either Instagram or Facebook were something I looked forward to do so much! She brightens the world in so many ways 🥰 Brilliant podcast!

[@anniezion]

She made a fortune during the pandemic. The "checkins" were to promote the products, establish a relationship with future customers. Very clever marketing, I'll give her that.

[@UsernamesForDummies]

I have tons of her makeup and I love everything about it. It is different to the hundreds of products I’ve used before. It’s natural, easy to use and compact. Thank you Trinny.

[@gojalis]

Love Trinny before this. Glad you had her on here. Her lovable personality and how she loves people around her is what draws people in to her! Everything she does is with sincere joy and happiness, it’s contagious!

[@sarahmurphy-nf4yl]

The fact that Trinnys necklace matches the architecture of the lighting on the wall is NO accident I'm sure and was possibly chosen for that reason by Trinny. Perfectly styled as always Trinny 👌

[@katrinaevans7872]

She’s probably had it years

[@sarahmurphy-nf4yl]

@katrinaevans7872 I agree...but knowing Trinny she wore it bcos it suits hernoutfit and also the set beautifully 🥰

[@shabzm5005]

@trinnywoodal as someone who has followed you on social media for so long. I have always thought you are so amazing, so easy to understand so easy to take fashion advice from I never realised how you have this other side to you . For me it almost feels like the skincare came by as a result of all your growing following and love of skincare, so an organic progression . However we haven’t seen this less chaotic and calmer version of you that is actually a strategic business woman who has planned this over the years My respect and love for you has doubled x

[@avieamalia8816]

This was such a great interview and so inspiring! I stumbled across this today while painstakingly working on my own business. Thank you for sharing and the motivational kick! I can’t wait to check out the book!

[@sarahburnett1394]

What an amazing lady, humbling, real and inspiring. Beautifully communicated💛 so very insightful.
