Something a bit different this week, let me know if you like the format and thanks for watching! Don't forget to like and subscribe x

I feel like one solo Steve podcast every month or two is needed. Really enjoy them!

My weekly dose of Steven keeps me sane, not even joking lol

"I have to understand that people don't understand" - hit me the hardest.

"acceptance, optimism and action" Steven, you really just got me within the first two minutes of talking, great job.

I spent an hour at the gym. No underground R&B beats, no heavy metal riffs. It was just me, Steven’s Podcast and the iron. For 52:33 minutes straight.

Can I just give you props on the camera work for this episode. 👏

I was not feeling my 100% & was getting extreme feeling of loneliness & depression today. This is exactly what I needed to see & listen Steven!🙏🏻 It has given me a sense of hope, optimism & direction towards what I really want to do!💛

You're wise beyond your years, Steven. Great podcast!

That was the best one yet. Very few people could have me sit and watch them talk by themselves for an hour.

Just a message to say hey and thankyou for sharing your time with us all! I've just finished your book..loved it! I like that your personality comes through just as strong in your book as it does here..it's great! I have a tattoo saying I am enough on my shoulder for years as I know I've never felt that I am and this has caused so many problems in my life. You stating 'we are already enough' as a running theme throughout your book along with all the reasons why we are and how we lost sight of that is incredible. Your book has brought New life to my tattoo and I wanted to say thankyou so so much for that! I now feel equipped to be true to myself FINALLY! Ima bout to get me a hourglass for my room! Just thankyou sir! Lots of love and blessings x

Your podcast is so honest and inspiring, literally have been binge-watching all these episodes. Thought I'd leave a comment to let you know this podcast is brilliant and I've learnt sooooooooo much!

38:40 "Time poor" = rude/dehumanizing 😢❤ Don't compromise on being a decent human being 🙏 Impatience = irritable > remembering to be gracious, every interaction is important 🌟🤝💕

Not that I'm a relationship expert at all lol but I think if you find the right partner you will want to do those things with them (even after a long day or week). You will either find the energy and it won't feel so much like a 'chore' or you'll be in sync/communicate with each other on when you do/don't want to do things.

I know of you for few years now. I really enjoy the simplicity , truth telling and the knowledge you share. I love interviewing people, but mostly I love learning from each of them something new which enriches my knowledge. That's why i love listening to your podcasts , enriches my knowledge and offers always such valuable information. Thank you

You are struggling w business owner/CEO problems. Next issue will be no being able to connect with the average person, loneliness from being on top, and seeing the reality of a lot of areas in life. Solutions (From what I have found): Relearn surface topics and making conversations about others, get a dog or pet (does help), and understanding there is still joy to be found in life even when "the curtain is pulled back." Love your work, keep it up!

Love your honesty. You should be very proud of who you are. Your greatest achievement is you, not just what you have achieved in the world. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for sharing! Loved the life purpose question, we kept chasing but when is it enough.

Always so honest, your communication skills keep me coming back this podcast

Hey Steve amazing podcast! I hear you talk about urgent vs important- you’re very self aware- have you considered prioritizing ‘the important’(your important) and refining which ‘urgent’ you respond to- simply because some urgents are not yours or they can be delegated. I think your podcast quest is sorely needed in our society and I find you candid, introspective and articulate- amazing combination!! Thank you!

I wish I could like this 100 times, what an inspiration! Thanks Steve for sharing your talents with the world, keep on

I don’t think i ever give my full attention to any content other than Steve’s. Cant wait for the book too arrive on the 25th! 🙌🏽

Loved this episode Steven, so much raw honesty that's relatable to my own life right now and definitely something I needed to hear. Thank You.

Such a great way of conceptualising how to deal with uncertainty - spot on Steven 👏

Great podcast again Steven, thank you. Out of interest have you ever used a personal trainer for the gym, or is it a case of challenging yourself to push through on your own (the greatest returns as you say) ? I know I cannot train on my own, so I don't even attempt to try. I either use a PT or go to a class. Having that accountability gives me the push I need to turn up.

Hi Steven, I have just pre ordered your book. I have been looking forward to this since I subscribed to your channel at the start of lockdown last year. Congratulations and I already know your book will be a great success. 🙏

Steven's show is absolutely my favourite.

Hi Steven, while trying to go to sleep I was actually thinking that it would be a great idea if every few months or so, you would choose a simple person from your audience to came in the studio and interview you. For me personally, even if it's great to listen to all the bright people that you bring to the studio, I think you are the most important, because you get knowledge and vibes from all those bright minds. I would definitely love that type of interaction and I hold the belief that simple can be bright in the right circumstances (exactly as you pointed in this episode, being in the right environment). You never know how you can end up finding more brightness 🌞 Wish you all the success in the world. With great admiration, Catalina.❤

Hi Steve. It's a pleasure watching your podcast. I am learning every time. Thank you for what you are doing in Dragons den.

This podcast sets me up for the week. Loved it Steven.

I spent all almost 5 years in telephone sales and I thought it was biggest waste of time because I ended up hating it. Now I see it as a pivotal skill and experience in my life. I'm building up my business and will go back to a similar role with an entirely new perspective. Thank you Steven.

Just pre ordered the audio book on audible bro! looking for to the straight fire, consistent value being dropped! Cant wait to listen to it over and over! 🚀

You are absolutely brilliant! Your parents must be so proud of you.⭐️

Thank you Steven! This made me reflect. You are great 🙌🏻

I admire you, obsessed with listening to your podcasts. So I feel timid and hesitant in any negative comments. When you advise that sales are all important, I thought you would be too kind to sell something to say an elderly person on a small pension when she can’t afford double glazing etc and is hesitant to say no to someone who is telling me I should say yes. There is a fine line in satisfaction in making a sale or not when you could have possibly caused grief to a weak impoverished person. ... having got this off my chest I still think you are amazing and I watch every podcast and am still in awe of you.

Is it weird that I wish I had left this for my #PodcastAndRun session tomorrow, rather than a Saturday night? Love running while being able to learn and put myself in these situations mentally.

Absolutely amaze balls chunk of wisdom. Thank you ❤️

honestly I've never really been interested in listening to podcasts but out of extreme boredom I thought I'd randomly give this a go and to my surprise I have found a lot in here to be much more useful and helpful than I could have expected or imagined, thank you so much for this, and I love the last point as it's something I also think about

Great podcast, yet again!

As always Me & Bruiser Bruce my mate, enjoy your words of wisdom. Keep shining mate 😀

The best podcast i have listened to. You have changed my life!

Great as always. Your segment at 23:32 intrigued me. As a 19 year old student I often think what is it I am inspiring for? I wonder if I did suddenly receive a pot of gold would that then equal complete happiness. Clearly it wouldn't but I still think the luxury it would offer would in itself be somewhat of a motivator by the enjoyment you'd feel. The idea of entering the rat race that is full time work is one of my biggest dreads, something I am sure you experienced too!

The first flight experience is funny. On substance love the change to higher earning places for the same skills. Also the short term comfort that creates long term discomfort/pain #procrastination

yay, finally a Q&A!

BRILLIANT first 5minutes!

Book just came in. Keep up the great work!

It's not my reality yet, but I learned a really valuable lesson from an uncle of mine who I looked up to a lot. In order for you to stay grounded, always do this litmus test. One day when you can dine on a plate of food of more than £100 every night, can you still get excited with the kid who is raving about his first McDonald's meal? Check where your level of empathy is for those who aren't on your level necessarily. Extremely paraphrased, but that's the crux of the lesson. Enjoyed the section about things you miss from being poor.

This is so powerful 🙌 Never found content that so acutely and eloquently deals with the questions I thought I’d be thinking about alone. So cheers Steven, awesome stuff as always!

Another amazing vid, very inspiring! I would absolutely love to watch behind the scenes! 😭 #subscribed

Wow describing your impatience with interactions, you described me literally!

I am truly enjoying your podcasts. Learning is almost a drug ;-)

So much value here… thank you.

So much clarity and excellent content here

Hey Steve, the psychological effect you pointing to when talking about friends who are making fun of you while you are working on your potentials, do you have any references for it?

Loved this episode but I have to ask, when will the group for the pre-orders be created? DMed a while back on insta but not heard anything

Brilliant podcast. You would really enjoy the book 12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson particularly on the topic of responsibility.

I love that… the meaning of life is to create that meaning.

I’ve loved this ❤

loved this one

Chimp paradox at work for sure this is me too!! well done for managing it 👏

A bit late to the party, but huge thanks to coming across memes of Cole Sprouse that flooded IG, I am now obsessed with DOAC. You're the entertaining energetic version of Yoda! Been re-watching everything - as part of my L&D. Again, obsessed!

Hello Steven I have been watching you for a few weeks.I have found your videos so interesting. I have reached a moment in my life when I cant find a goal. I ask myself every day. I'm listening to you talk about the gym🙄 I'm the typical comfortable easy person. 😏

loved the vide this week. It has taught me a lot especially about how people value you

Hi Steve. I just feel the need to write this random comment to let you know that for some strange reason I feel so connected to you. Sorry if it sound weird 😄. I wish I can meet you one day.Much love and respect 🙏

👍🏻👍🏻 Already done.. As soon as it was first put on Instagram.. So excited to read it 👏🏻👏🏻

Great episode Steve, very valuable lessons as always. I made the mistake to take the second L at the beginning of the pandemic and I blamed everything and everyone for the current situation but in the second part of last year I took charge of my emotions and my thinking and improved my response and ever since I accepted what's happening my business performance took off and my motivation is through the roof every day. I know that this crisis will pass eventually, in the meantime I will focus on expanding the business and improving my life. In regards to the pre order, I have placed mine ages ago so how will you be contacting us in regards to being added to the group?

Interesting : again, I have flipped back to watch an earlier podcast , having only found you maybe. A month ago. I feel like you have grown so much in these last two years …..eg “ relationships need compromise “or so I’ve been told “ 🤣🤣🤣” Really like the fact that you still try to remain humble …. It is super hard (I imagine) to remain grounded and humble when you succeed so much . I still want to know how you have a wonderful speaking voice when you were brought up in Devon, I have relies down there who have wonderful Devon accents…clearly you don’t have that !!! Thanks for the hard work on this and the other pod casts to you and your team .😊

Remarkable insight 👏💙

10:11 1. Find Your Niche 2. What makes you rare and valuable in your field? 3. Maximise those skills

thank you for the honesty

this is amazing!

great episode 🔥

I love you. You're a life changer.

Great video brother

Book is amazing steve

Super Steven 🎉

Will be buying this asap no job atm but will change 🤞🤞🤞

I would love to see an episode being filmed

52:14 I think you wanted to say "It's more HUEL for this movement" ...

Here is a motivation to call your mom more: mine passed away in 2017 just 2 months after turning 70 yrs old. She waited til she was 70 to take Social Security (in US) so she got one month. One never really knows what will happen in future and you may not have another chance to talk to her.

Here’s an older person (female - married mid 30s - unfortly Divorced 59, 1 child in early 20s finishing Uni) - caught you on London Live which brought me here. Love your self assessment at a young age -achieved so much - yet still feeling unfulfilled in some ways. Yes the moments of joy are small things eg - yr child’s success where you may have contributes some early experiences that will help them in life. Moments with other people when you actually felt something really touched you deeply or gained some insight into them when they were modest & honest. Making connections with people, new people & trying to see if they think similarly, had similar or different experiences - both learn from how others deal wt life. Even my daughter having new conversations whilst at Uni… a new type of stage of relationship wt yr family members. Do keep in touch wt your family…. Do mainly in person but during lockdown got to have some insightful ways to get to know people asking each other questions, chatting on WhatsApp - we kept each other going & can meet in person in time being better in understanding friends. Weekend walks wt people in areas of London not visited before - health walks - but book ahead… every 2 weeks so a plan made to wake weekends & go, maybe end with an incentive like lunch …. Yes some friends may not be easy to be with …… if not feel a positive connection … & you may have to let go….. they may not be at the same stages of life. Carry on wt yr insights, esp to yr generation…

Ps: The solution regarding movement towards optimism, is in responding rather than reacting.

I make it a point to watch at least one of your videos every week. I consider it an incredible investment for life.

SOOS BUENISIIIMO AMIGOOOO PARAAAAA QUYEEEEEE

What's the difference between being very ambitious and chasing highs? If they are the same, and chasing highs rarely satisfies, is ambition something healthy or good?

I realise that a 1 hour session of just Steven you realise he speaks too fast as there were good points here but the pace this went at seemed like he had just drank 3 coffees before !

After realising the difficulty in being the best person you can be in every interaction and struggling with this yourself as the PA dog food example went, do you not empathise with Man vs Food guy rather than writing him off as an A hole? We never know what is going on in other people's lives, his response could have been absolutely understandable even if very unfortunately timed. Love your podcasts, this seemed a little out of character and I'd love to see Man vs food on Diary of a CEO in the future.

kinggggg steven

15:11 comfortable and easy don’t take long to become boring and monotonous.

Hey. I have just pre-ordered. How do I prove this? do you need a photo in insta.. Also I was one of the first 100 way back when so I would love the chance to come and watch the podcast being filmed. Tony T.

Hope you see this Steven, Read ; A New Earth by Ekchart Tolle, if you haven't. If you have have another read, you've touched on alot that can be found in that read.

What was the book he referenced?

Actually, I kinda disagree Steve. I find it's easier to find peace and surrender in adversity and challenge. I tend to get fuzzy and vague when things are going well. But maybe thats just me. Thanks for your take regardless. x

also finding different customers who will pay more

This is me in a nutshell 😅

5 months late, but have you ever found when starting out in your business you lied about your age or tried to give the impression you were older?

Scott Galloway .... not kind enough earlier in life !!

I’ve taken that second L for far too long.

I hope nobody's listening 🤣 mood

There is no IF about it! Lovvve what you produce 🙌🏽 Happy Sexy Millionaire 🙌🏽 Gone to get my copy 💨 Read you later 👋🏽
