My opinions can't be trusted.... I hit the LIKE button before watching the videos. I'm a biased fan. Oh well....I'll just leave this shortcoming off my CV

[@GaryCunninghamyouareenough]

I like when the video starts and kinda hate when it ends 🙄🤣... This is an awesome series guys - thank you for the commitment and the amazing content 🙏❤️

[@nicolamatthews2993]

2.5 hrs of doac unfiltered with rich rolls & now the vlog my fix is fulfilled 😂 thanks guys 👌💙🫶

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

The Rich Roll talks were very good. You are right on the mark @@nicolamatthews2993

[@monavallejo]

Hope we can get it every Sunday ❤🎉👏

[@ChristinaAaliyah]

Who else's been coming back every few days to check if the new vlog's been uploaded 😅 I'm obsessed!

[@oyandakona5994]

🤣👋🏻

[@DOACBehindTheDiary]

We hear you 🙌🏻 We’re working on getting this weekly, maybe when we hit 100k subs! 👀

[@mollconn5998]

Another Awesome behind the scenes Vlog! Love it. ❤❤❤

[@stacytulloch3902]

Yay!!me too!!. Happy another video is up ❤❤❤❤

[@Thai.Farang]

You pledged initially to produce a weekly episode. Now, suddenly it's "when I hit 100,000 subscribers. " Talk about shifting the goal posts.

[@CuriousChameleon771]

25:13 I can tell Brian really appreciated the interview because he went straight in for the hug. I will have to watch that full interview now.

[@ikramulhaque84]

You changed my life, Steve... And I'm not joking. You really did have a huge impact on my progress. I picked up writing. I got obsessed with synthesizing ideas... All because of you. Thanks a lot 🙌🏻

[@TamaraJoy7]

The Value level of ALL your Diary of a CEO episodes are limitless! They will live on forever and have the capacity to inspire and affect millions, over and over again. Seriously Stephen, the fact that these interviews are so wonderfully personal and the guest list SO varied, makes them ALL incredibly interesting, informative, with often life changing to those who resonate with your guests. I love this series too as you really make us feel a part of your day and that’s just amazing. Thank you. ❤

[@alsaikali5753]

Can I say how much I love seeing those calendar entries. I feel like I e learned a ton just by watching how Stephen organizes and categorizes his day. Plus the building in of seemingly minuscule stuff like driving somewhere.

[@ToniSaintTruth]

I love seeing the behind the scenes and the level of "intention" you lead with. Everything is so intentional. Also - I do believe that the value you add to your team through conversation / advice comes back around through the value they're able to add to you. Love how the working environment is healthy and that people work WITH you - not just FOR you. Also - the fact that you don't prance around in an overpriced suit is so helpful. I prefer working in sweatpants and a hoodie but was told "no one will take you seriously unless you dress a certain way" - while this isn't completely incorrect - you dressing more casually day to day freed me from the belief that I have to pretend to be something I'm not in order to be able to do something I can do. These episodes add so much value. Thank you!

[@marieannworld]

He is right, you are an amazing interviewer with everyone that's on the show. You are always so calm, collected, prepared and you always seem so interested in each guest. Even down to the tone of your voice. You are brilliant at what you do. Very talented.

[@tb837]

11:28 The input = output framing of a hard activity or day is honestly so insightful. Instead of seeing these days as stressful or draining, i'll remind myself to reframe them into rewarding days because i usually forget that i will reap not only what i sow but also what i nurture consistently. So thanks Steven for that insight, i know it will keep me going on the hardest days. ❤ Sending love from Ethiopia 🇪🇹

[@aniramleo]

Really appreciate behind-the-scenes content because we have the opportunity to see all the hard work you and your team are putting in so we have great content to look forward to! ❤

[@iraneuso]

Always wanted to watch the Brian episode. Nice reminder. For the records, Brian is one the most highly respected people in tech few years back. And as a longevity researcher myself, I have great respect for him putting himself out there real-time to experiment on all these longevity stuff

[@kelseylyall5001]

Honestly, this is my new obsession. I feel like waiting two weeks is TOO long! 😂 It is so interesting to see how the team works behind the scenes and the relationships you all have, it’s inspiring

[@MichaelBraccio]

I really enjoy these BTS! It's helpful to see the organization of your schedule and then reflect on how I am spending my time. Time to prioritize things on the calendar!

[@autumnbonhamcoxabc]

I'm really appreciating seeing the behind the scenes... Especially as a self-employed individual building their own business. The hustle and business, the feeding and nurturing of the business can be super demanding but the payoff is incredible. And it's so soothing to hear you say the payoff might be instant or it might be in 7 months... Because sometimes we ask ourselves whhhhyyy when the endgame feels a bit far. I also think it's incredible the degree of presence Steven has with each part of his day. The ability to sit with pure presence when having 3 interviews and multiple meetings in a day must be so draining energetically and mentally. But I, like all of us listeners, so greatly appreciate it. So thanks for another great series of interviews and another insight behind the scenes.

[@justdari633]

I love the post-production work you guys put into these videos... the calendar & notes shots, the titles, and photo sequences make these even more enjoyable to watch! 👏🏽🔥

[@DOACBehindTheDiary]

Thanks so much!!

[@YorkshireTeaNBiccies]

Can’t wait for the Prince William one. You’ve got to get him on! 😊😮

[@Christoff8188]

Better yet, get Harry on. I'd like to see his raw side, without all the fakeness.

[@annastasianleya7296]

I love your dedication, Steve. The way you roll around with ease makes what you do seem easy, yet it's so hard. Your perfectionism is inspiring. Thanks for your authenticity and for opening the doors for us into your world so that we can learn how it's done, the effort, and the dedication put in it.

[@josh1992lanky]

How do you stay cognitively sharp doing 3x podcasts and 6x meetings in a day? Immense. Love the behind the scenes

[@dianeanthony813]

Guys, every time I finish watching a podcast I feel like I’ve just finished a good book and left wanting to turn the next page or start the next book. Love love love all the podcasts and they are so interesting. Best thing for me on KZbin. Also so interesting what goes on behind the scene and your work ethic is outstanding. I’m inspired and by the way I’m 63 probably not your target audience but I’m hooked.

[@georgeholliday123]

Would LOVE to see more about how your assistant assigns Google Tasks and bunches them all up in your calendar so you just need to open them up and work through/tick off. As a small team things like this would be invaluable bits of advice to keep your day slick and streamline! Loving these vlogs, learning a lot about the day-to-day little time savers and processes!

[@TheLexbank]

Probably my favourite human being right now. Intelligent and genuine. I just love these podcasts and the avenue they probe. Always seemingly following the same path on how to live optimally which it’s top of my list too. Don’t change Steven ❤

[@jamorfati]

I gotta say I've seen alot of content of Ryan but this is the most chilled, calm and centred I've ever seen him.

[@perrantustin4475]

Weekly episodes is perfect because it leaves you wanting more but you enjoy and savour each episode 🎉

[@erikalippolis5336]

"I'm really trying hard to refrain from casting judgement"...I love it💯

[@EmeraldPath]

11:18 Absolutely perfect advice. "Input equals output." I'm grateful to be watching and to hear this right now.❤ Thanx so much

[@charlouiseh]

Oh my goodness me I LOVED this!!! So much care and thought (just like DOAC) has gone into this Vlog. Your work schedule blows my mind but I find it so incredibly inspiring. I also love to see the work culture within your team, exactly how it should be!! What a bunch! ❤️ more of these please!!!!!

[@jenw1116]

I love these episodes so much. It's so well produced, feel like I'm watching paid TV! I always get value out of them, especially after finishing your new book. So good!

[@professorkorezi]

so true. moreover should in case you are interested in getting his book 33 laws of a CEO let me know.. it's 100%value for money

[@katlegobungane6543]

Steve, I do not know where I first came across you but thank you for following your purpose and dreams, you are helping many others like myself who are living under their greatness, HOWEVER!!!! We are at it everyday mate, keep it up.

[@alexzdad]

These are the highlight of my Sunday!!! 😂❤

[@DOACBehindTheDiary]

Good to be back! Hope you enjoy it!

[@jennifermedia6288]

Bloody Brilliant! Loved this !! Great meeting you in the street when I was visiting London a few weeks back! Fascinating to see the vlog and behind the scenes, let alone the actual interviews. I love it. I can’t believe I actually caught your eye by the gym that night and recognised you. I had to turn around and say hi. Thanks for being generous with your time with me having that conversation! Made my night.

[@becbec3541]

Steven and the team, please know that YES we enjoy these episodes and we appreciate how much work you all put into to making them. Thank you ❤

[@jocelynnelake41]

Having watched this, I now feel inspired to watch some of the interviews shown here which I might not have watched otherwise. All your hard work most definitely pays off and inspires so many. Thank you 🙏

[@DOACBehindTheDiary]

So pleased! Thanks for your support, go for it!

[@MelismaticMelody]

Steven, Will and team these videos are incredible, they provide tremendous value and the pacing grips the audience. There is only one piece of feedback I have as a viewer, your thumbnails. For this episode and the last, the tone of the thumbnails is within the same style a lot of popular KZbinrs use. That’s not a bad thing but you aren’t just providing entertaining content, you’re providing educational and inspirational content. For me personally these past two have felt at odds with your video style and who I perceive you to be. If I didn’t know you, I’d be surprised at the content based on your chosen thumbnail style. I think your style and quality should be represented in the thumbnail, I want to click on the video because it looks rewarding not just because I know whatever you do is. I say all of this with the utmost respect, I plan to watch you for however long you make content and I dream of being a part of it one day.

[@albertgrobler182]

I was lucky enough to stumble upon the intro for the podcast with Molly Bloom on tiktok and now I'm obsessed with DOAC. I am always excited for the next episode to come out, no matter the guest. The conversation is captivating and I learn so much about simple things that I can apply to my life. This podcast honestly changed my life for the better.

[@DOACBehindTheDiary]

Thanks so much for following along!

[@ravenofthewild]

I love both your and J Shetty's interviews because of the openness and acceptance you have with your guests. Thank you

[@Demiduivenvoorden]

This is by far my favorite YT series and Steven, you are your team are huge inspirations!

[@midlifepro]

Great behind the scenes look - thank you! Always wondered how you replicate the studio. Also, amazing how many interviews you can do in a day and still show total empathy and get so deep.

[@denisejames855]

A fascinating behind the scenes. Most of us have no idea what goes into making these podcasts and this is such an eyeopener. The pace is frenetic, so the gym is very necessary.

[@nolubabalosonti8640]

What an awesome episode, when you said “this is my ikigai” at the end, I cried because that is my pursuit. So hearing someone utter those words with so much sincerity was so reassuring more than you can ever know. You and your whole team are so inspiring. Keep up the great work you’re doing.

[@jornkell.]

Seeing you do your CEO act is so incredible for me. So much of a role model to me. Every littledetail you do gets me to me try to understand how your mind is wired. Great team work

[@TopBillersToolkit]

Loved this Episode - Feel like I've discovered a completely different layer to Steven and the team. Great Job guys. Keep it up.

[@DOACBehindTheDiary]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@grahamefarmerdt]

The best part of this is the energy of the team at the end of an interview, we have the same moments after I’ve interviewed, i really loved seeing that vibe… great video again!

[@ShahinHemat]

No joke - I was like, I need to get inspired - let me watch another brother who is hustling out there, and fortunately for me, I didn't have to rewatch a previous episode, fortunately for me, there was a new one out. Absolutely inspiring - thank you so much!

[@VaneezyTV]

I love seeing the behind the scenes. I found you on KZbin, when you interviewed Jay, been following him since his short story telling videos... and I've been hooked on your podcast ever since. I'm glad Rich Roll held you accountable to this, I've been watching Rich since I was like 24. It's my favorite interview he's done actually. Anyway!!! Thank you for this! We learn so much.

[@PrincessDisney86]

I have been dying to watch this all day! Something to look forward to after a days work

[@sandiegonsalves6069]

Oh my, seriously, another great episode. I have a need to leave a comment to let you know that your vlogs are my happy place. There is something g about your delivery which is elevating and mesmerising. Thank you for what you do 😊

[@luzkyhal]

Great great and great!! These videos make me think of so many things what would I love to put light in or figure it out at the same time so lovely to see how well Steven and the guys get on. Gives me warmth, happiness and HOPE I don’t know why but it does. Thanks

[@aldinwilson7856]

Seeing how Steven and his team get along 😃! Who wouldn't want to work for Steven? #TeamDOACFamily

[@baroqaan]

you change my life Steven ... I wish you all the best... I couldn't read any book after I read yours... keep going never stop

[@scapegoatchildrecovery]

thank you for sharing the BTS of your business with us - very interesting - plus thanks for the clip showing us what you eat which is what I gave feedback on the last time lol!!

[@GaryCunninghamyouareenough]

In every episode there is always an abundance of inspiration - thank you so much for that 🙏❤️.... Also, on a "geeky" note: the editing, from footage, to transitions, to sound design etc is always absolute 🔥🤘 Great episode 🙏❤️

[@jonnymarcbaker]

Love every single one of these, this is hands down the best content online right now. Every time I watch a new instalment I'm filled with such inspiration. Thanks so much for the amazing work you and your team continuously deliver!

[@sequoiahall1695]

Loved the background with studio build. When I came in with Mindy I was amazed by the cameras and attention to live editing. Loved the suitecases detail as well. Nice work on the Behind the Diary.

[@pavlastankova7504]

Thank you Steven and all of your team for the hard work and all the amazing content that you're creating. It really is a gift to all of us 🙏❤️ Wish you all the best on your journey 🙏❤️

[@Christoff8188]

I don't normally like videos, but I'm going to make a habit of liking all of these. So proud of you guys for what you do, and the love you put into it. Thank you for sharing some of the behind the scenes. Can't wait for the next one. 😊

[@kathleenkulp240]

All those interviews were awesome and inspiring. And so are you. It's great to see you here and realize that the interviewer we see on your main channel is the same person we see here. The Real Deal.

[@jo_fu]

Love how this episode had lots of laughs, and insight into the team, their personalities and the dynamic you all have. Your busy days blow my mind a little but your attitude and drive is inspiring. How can I feel anything but fuelled to deal with my simple life when you’re powering on like this?! 😍The responses of the guests made me smile for you. More gym shots please 😉😅

[@AnatolSchulz]

14:54 nice missed handshake transition into the pat on the back, while realizing/beeing aware that this is most definitly on camera :-D ...thanks for the behind the scenes, really enjoy these!

[@jessicas253]

Your work schedule is CRAZY! I have no idea how you do it, especially when traveling in time zones. I really love your work but I can only hope that this level of commitment won't take it's toll on you one day. 💜

[@qlf4076]

I am personally an undergrad and don't ask me why, but this format is exciting. You don't even understand the degree to which it pushes me to think outside of the box and motivates me to work towards new projects. I am now sure that I will start my own business while doing my undergraduate. Steven, my name is Canaan Borhan Tavakoli. Remember that name; You will see. Thank you Steven. Canaan Borhan Tavakoli

[@reneekamer]

Please please keep doing this. I know when I watch these. It definitely makes me go back to your podcast and watch the episodes of the people you were interviewing in these episodes. Also I go back and rewatch some of the others that i've already watched because I know what happened behind the scenes and what you were doing while making

[@amrits]

How do you research so many guests at once please ? Those insights would be invaluable 🙏🏼 I love these - thank you so much ❤

[@mikeydavidson8438]

Great episode! would you mind sharing the name of the application Jack had found to record (22.30)? Thank you - way to go !!!

[@carolehenderson9185]

Loving this behind the scenes and breathless at your energy, inspired by your work ethic, astonished at your vision and being entertained to boot. Wow. Well done to you and your team.

[@audreyg1138]

Epic!! I love the calendar view and follow through, tips, incredible insights. Soooo valuable! Thank you, thank you!

[@phyllisstarks941]

My first - but certainly not last - visit to this site! It was so good, I had a difficult time leaving my chair for fear that I would miss something! You are an excellent interviewer, so I'm not surprised your guests & audience love you! Take care!(A first-time subscriber after listening w/o subscribing for some time. Soorry!)

[@pathemphill7496]

Steven...your genuine interest in your guests and amazing endless curiosity about them is so refreshing to watch. Thank you for contributing so much of your hectic schedule to help people open up some really sensitive issues and struggles in their lives, that you audience can identify with and learn from. Thank you! 👏

[@thomas-mwaba]

Thank you Steven, your hard work dedication and ability to listen is inspiring.

[@cuthbertson94]

Always enjoy a BTS insight...but these are different level. Editing & production is top class. Content is inspiring & informative. So good.

[@natashavabusiness1772]

Steven I have been following you since the beginning of time...lol. I love Diary of a CEO. You put so much value in everything that you do. I am a big fan❤ I really appreciate you and all that you share. Thank you for shinning your light and by doing so you allow us to shine ours. ❤❤❤❤

[@garyfitzgerald6130]

Started my business 1st June 2023 and I find these video’s so inspirational in those down times. The energy shown by SB, but what is so inspirational is the thought and plan is build a team that helps support and believe in the project really is the best part. This is what I want to build myself. Thank you

[@מיכאלמיכאלי-ע7נ]

insane! thank you for taking us this increadible jorney!! insanly inspiring!

[@jennifersimpson6385]

This was brilliant. I love how sharp it is. I've listened to the Holiday podcast twice already. Cheers.

[@ellen4094]

Here i am sitting at my desk at work, watching you guys working so hard but also having so much fun and laughing

[@YorkshireTeaNBiccies]

Absolutely love this series Steven! Can’t wait for the weeklies! Best Sunday night viewing 🎉

[@pauljamesoneill]

Absolutely love this series. Keep up the great work, I am obsessed!

[@fadeddave]

Fascinating insight! I look forward to these now (though I hoped they would be weekly). Great work Steven and team. Honestly Steven, you are a massive inspiration to me right now. I have your new book on my desk at work for reference. Looking forward to more insights

[@Harrypalmerr1]

After reading your new book i now realise amount of things you talk about to your team and implement into them which you preach in the book is so amazing to see and to have learnt!

[@seanchristopherjohn]

I really do love these podcasts, having to wait 2 weeks is pants ngl lol. Watching them inspires me a lot. I'm so unmotivated in life and my business which just sits idle, but watching these episodes really wants me to get off my bum ans achieve something. Keep up the good work!!

[@yousakitube]

Why do we have only one like button here? I don't want to downside any part of this hard work so great job to every single one of you doing this and THANK YOU.

[@Jessicalc941]

You are such an inspiration for me and your interviews are amazing. You have introduced me to so many great people and gives me great motivation. Thank you

[@markjohnson4237]

Another interesting episode Steven, thanks. I picked up on Bryan's appreciation of you during that episode of DOAC. Like you, I certainly wouldn't choose to live like that but a fascinating experiment, none the less. Your podcasts are great for my Sunday long runs, thanks, as always. Mark

[@EBB505]

When he spoke about what the numbers for the podcasts. It all comes down to personality, Steven has a very engaging personality and intelligent mind that it's hard not to watch new episodes and you get hooked everytime. It's not a trend that others can just copy, I'm sure the views for Dragon's den went up too because he's a very interesting person to listen to.

[@privlogs9372]

love this all your videos thanks for another great channel!!!

[@shanewalsh5578]

I couldn't wait for this to come out! I was scared when I didn't see anything last week 😂 Nice work as always!

[@lifeofreilly95]

Honestly some of the best content on KZbin right now!! Love these videos and love the podcast! Thank you!!

[@AnandDattaniPodcast]

Epic thumbnail - I was so intrigued to know what that screen under the table was in the pic 😂

[@hollyyoung2850]

Fantastic Sunday night viewing. Always new lessons to take away and I really loved the essence we got of your team👌

[@professorkorezi]

true. moreover should in case you are interested in getting his book let me know

[@jabee81]

I honestly thankful with all you n the team has give us as your viewers. Keep up this excellent content.

[@boldmovescoach]

I can’t decide what I like best, the podcast or these vlogs behind the scenes?!! Anyone else??

[@ellenfoley3271]

Keep up the excellent work! You all are so good at what you do. Cheers to many more years of success!🍷

[@JaredBuissinne]

Another great episode. It is inspiring seeing the more human side of you and your team. Doing good work doesn't seem so hard when you clearly all love what you do.

[@ZorVlogs]

Thank you Steven. This is the best KZbin content I've watched in years. Very much look forward to your uploads

[@DOACBehindTheDiary]

Wow, thanks!

[@Garginteanu]

I enjoy your podcast…but mostly, it’s your work ethic that is the most valuable message you share with us all.

[@Browneyegirl_13]

Steven has one of the BEST Podcast's of all time. I learn so much from everyone that he interviews. I also save most of them to watch again. My BEST of all time was his interview with Molly Bloom and Trinny Woodall....And Steven don't forget to massage your skin for lymphatic drainage after a long flight😂 Just like Trinny taught you😅 Thanks for all this amazing content xx

[@kerryheider6445]

Steven, I’m always checking every day to see when the next episode is being uploaded. You are a true inspiration 🫶

[@zenikotsokoane2412]

@DOACBehindTheDiary thank you for the lessons. This is classroom with a great teacher greater leader. Even at 45 one has learnt so much and this has allowed me to make so many changes beneficial to my health, mental fitness and financial journey. THANK YOU FOR THE IMPACT YOU ARE MAKING IN THE WORLD.

[@daflashke]

Another great video. Awesome to see the BTS of your podcast. I really enjoy your content a lot!

[@DOACBehindTheDiary]

Much appreciated!

[@maddi3582]

Loved this episode for all the reasons folk have already stated above. The thing I'm taking away this week (apart from the tracker pad under the desk - which, whether such a thing existed, had crossed my mind before) is the non-judgemental stance you take. The more episodes I watch, the more I see the exceptional skill you have in asking your guests probing questions without revealing any judgement or critical bias. Gives you such integrity (and is such a welcome antithesis to the fuel that frequently drives social media and some journalism these days) Thank you for making a difference, and showing how it's done 🙏

[@ahmednavid7971]

I am really inspired by you. Can you please make weekly vlogs like this because that has at least impact on me & on this journey, I'm sure that you will get more people like me. More power to you.
