No matter how good I feel someone’s life looks, I try to remember that everyone is paying a cost we can’t always see.

As a listener of the diary of a CEO, it's SUPER nice to Steve answers some questions for a change 🙂

I much prefer anonymity and rich over fame...the ability to walk freely without being mobbed is priceless

“Everyone you meet, you’re meeting everyone they know” is a BAR. Mad insight from such a throwaway sentence.

Great insight from Steven about the pressure of Fame vs Business. Looking forward to this dropping, many thanks for making this happen Chris

Great discussion about celebrity versus the responsibility of making payroll. In my twenties, during an intense argument with my immensely successful uncle about the value of wealth creation versus spending one's efforts to create a just society, I glibly asked him to name one socially redeeming thing he had ever done. His response was quick and confident. He said, "I create jobs." I did not appreciate it then, but by the end of my career I knew exactly what he meant.

Living in LA and i have a few famous friends and have talked to a few. The analogy that really clicked for me is when one of them told me it's like living your life like during the covid lockdowns, but you can go to exclusive events and parties sometimes. And that sounds miserable to me.

That "payroll stress story" brought back memories and sent a shiver down my spine... preparing for that bank meeting, with one day to go... it's difficult to effectively communicate that kind of pressure.

Very interesting chat. Steven had a really good answer as to why its worse to run a business than be famous. Look forward to checking out the whole thing

What an interesting conversation! Been following Steven's work for a while, will watch the whole interview and others from you, Chris!

I met Steven at he’s apartment a few months ago. Can confirm he’s exactly the same off camera as he is on camera.

Great insights. Looking forward to the whole episode dropping.

This was so so good. Anxiety at ALL levels. That’s life.

Thanks for having me on Chris! X

I really needed this today. Thank you so much. Really helpful.

Found your channel when you upload the short episode with PBD. Man I love your channel! Not only the production quality which is top notch but the content is amazing this one has to be my favorite so far and I’ve been binging for two days now. Great work and thank you for being out there

Hey, I was in the middle of the full Steven Bartlett episode and It disappeared. Will it be back up soon? Great work Chris. We are the same age and you've brought some serious relatable sense to advancing into our 30's. like snapping out of spell! Thank you

As a subscriber/fan of the diary of a CEO, so nice to see this interview! thank you so much

Refreshing message. Stay focused on the right things....toward purpose. ✨

This was really good. Thank you lads for this conversation

This was absolutely fascinating, and I was not expecting it to be ! LOL .... Thank you both very much

I agree that when you are in the public eye, you have to filter out the constant media that could appear like "rubbish" but then I also believe everything is a reflection of you! So I believe even the "rubbish" shows you something about yourself.

Steven is my age but he Floors me with how much wisdom he has he broadens the way i think.. phenomenal

So true as a professional employee, we're so disconnected from the stress the ppl at the top have to keep a well oiled business. I just keep my stress free job and am totally oblivious!

Love Steve schooling Chris on what 'actual business' is rather than pure fame...🤣

I knew a guy in college who would get escorted out of a house party to his dad's shindigs with a police escort. Sometimes, he'd also be accompanied by a driver/bodyguard when going to "dangerous" places. His family halfway hid things. Hidden enough for the masses to not notice but out in the open enough for other rich people to notice. Wealth after a certain point adds danger. It's just that celebrity people have a worse danger to wealth ratio.

Fascinating, these things regular folk like me don’t know. So, having a window into a different type of life is genuinely fascinating.

Such a fascinating conversation!

Two legends got me into podcasting

A MAN OF PRINCIPLES 👏👏👏👏👏👏 TOP NOTCH... I ENJOY HIS VIDEOS AND FIND EACH ONE OF THEM, ADD VALUE

The Cost of being the CEO of a Business... Steve got me right there.. Great chat..

thanks for sharing Chris

Holy shit! I am looking forward to this one!

very interesting chat & take on things 👌

Wow that was a massive eye opened, the insane pressure of business giants is definitely unseen and misunderstood. What great insight.

Not heard this yet but love Steven he is the real deal !

I'm really enjoying this Age of podcasts where we have thoughtful, curious,, thinking men discussing matters of importance. Embodying the modern-day Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. No diss intended toward remarkable women.

"Seeking fame is like licking honey from a knife" - Buddha

As a woman, I would warn girls that the Shame and scrutiny that could come from fame could include : intimate content or information you don’t know or know has been made ,going public. I bet some women are on edgeeee in the public eye.

Looking forward to this one 🤌🏻

I once knew someone who did private security and often the clients were billionaires. He said the one thing he learnt was; 'Fuck being a billionaire'!

Wealth and fame is a little different.

I think y’all split tested this thumbnail. Well done. This one got me!

Better to be the song writer than the famous singer.

Very interesting 👌

Thank you gentlemen

Steven is a gem ❤

amazing content

Hi Chris. I was watching 17 Raw Lessons About Human Nature - Steven Bartlett (4K) | Modern Wisdom 688 and all of a sudden you took it private and I could no longer access it. I subscribed to your KZfaq channel expecting to be able to view the content and let my friends know about it. That cannot happen now. What happened? Thanks.

Powerful words - Everything has a cost.

Dan Ariely wrote in his book Misbelief about trying to clear his name against conspiracy theorists. It's a losing battle. You can't logic your way out of their beliefs. He had to rely on someone he trusted to manage what people were saying about him as it was soul-crushing to read. You can't win, and like Steven says, it's best not to even enter that arena.

Love Steven Bartlett's perspective!

Such a great episode! Maybe next you'll go to Madrid🤔

Interesting perspective about the cost of someone super famous and someone running a large company where you are responsible for their livelihood.

My entrepreneur dad experienced so much pain in the responsibility of paying others, when the bank were threatening to pull the plug, but then suddenly somehow, a deal would come good and he could breathe again and pay his staff, or when bailiffs knocked on the door and he somehow managed to persuade them to back off..all this from the door of our six bed home with swimming pool where the outside perception was wow 🤩 There was a lot of heartache involved in that perceived ‘success’. People see what they want to see..

Cool to see the title and thumbnail change!

I'm actually looking forward to listening to the whole episode. I do feel it's a shame that everyone now seems to have resorted to these click bait titles and thumbnails on KZfaq. At NO POINT in this video was the conclusion that "Being Famous Sucks" there was a 5 second mention of Steven being in public with his girlfriend. I have started to lose respect for channels that resort to these types of tactics in order to increase views and clicks. Especially Chris Williamson as he doesn't need to do it. He is a great interviewer and has awesome guests. Let the content do the talking and use a bit more creativity to build titles and thumbnails that actually represent the content. This video could have easily been titled "What's the real cost of being famous?" or something similar.

Love Steven, what a classy guy

Can someone tell me why the caption doesn’t match the photo in the caption. I think it’s quite distracting.

Chris your podcast Rock. But please fix the button at the end. Is incorrect. I want see the full episode of Steven but there is an other old guy! 😢😂

Being famous would be my worst nightmare, ever 😱! I've never understood appeal!

Your image changing graciously

Listening to everyone’s opinion doesn’t work for anyone regardless of fame… this is something you learn as you age if you’re paying attention. The level of fame that leads you to being followed and recognized everywhere you go would be intolerable for me… no $ amount would ever make it worthwhile.

But I do recognise and follow Stephen Bartlett on his road to perfection - follow what interests you - Dr Amen - thanks guys 😊

I was just watching the full length podcast and it went to private.. Hope it goes back up soon 😂

CB2 receptor agonism (activation) cools off trauma responses quite extremely. Cannabis is well known for its therapeutic and healing capabilities in PTSD.

rest in peace @chrisqboyd you need to talk again with Justin Murphy and cover this guy

Really enjoyed chrises podcast on steves diary of a ceo earlier this year.

Boy is right about the pressures of owning a business. It doesn't turn off either, not even at 3am

Worth considering too, in business once you have the money you can leave and lead a normal life. But once you're famous, you can't take that genie out of the bottle, your image is already known by everyone. Fame isn't something you can go back on. There are plenty of retired CEOs out there living on a beach but Justin Bieber will be mobbed for life even if he stops all performing and social media.

love stephen

Live among king and queens but never lose your common touch.

Steven a good courageous gentleman

Yep to the 'don't aim at ghosts', basically don't focus on other people's delusions, because that is what all opinions of other people are: delusions.

The thing is the ceo of a company doesn’t sell their product using their image. Drake etc depend so much on image that of course that leads to this higher level of ‘fame’. When you choose to monetise your image you can’t just switch that off.

steven's voice sounds very nice

Bartlett is bloody brilliant

We kill to live and live to die.If we stay here we die. We have nothing to lose. We must explore the lands beyond the ice wall and center of our Plane directly under Polaris at Magnetic North to see if Hyperborea exists and if there is a portal out of this no win situation.

You can't live a life without regrets. The best you can do is to choose the regrets you are willing to live with. For every choice you make, there is a corresponding regret.

Yeah there are different levels of pain

Smart.

Steven did an excellent job educating Chris on the difference on comparing apples and oranges. This is the error of these youtube and the like host, they are ignorant to the basis of comparison and objectivity along with those who call themselves journalist and they're just talking heads.

I like him he is cool person

Live simple.

But then again, I've not heard of Chris Williamson either, so just looked you up too 😉

Steven Bartlet ibs a nice guy I like, to watch him on Dragons Den especially,,

I like Steven’s attitude to fame and fortune and follow his podcasts. However I worked in a very close and personal capacity to four incredibily rich people, two were famous, one was known but not famous and one was completely unknown. The common thread was that three of them were a*rs*holes but one was well mannered,pleasant and respectful. Reflect on this.

""famous" on KZfaq isn't of "public interest".

What an awesome dragon 🐉

The Nando’s brought the heat 😂😂😂

Simon Cowell put it well. If you're going to put yourself out there, public interest and scrutiny comes with the territory. Fans are what makes it possible for famous or well-known people to have the incredible benefits they garner. If you don't want or can't handle the focus, do something else. It's pretty simple.

Totally the more money you have & especially going on TV or having a public profile then you should expect the come back, it’s proof there isn’t privacy when you become like him! The Diary of a CEO………..I’m private so don’t think I could deal with it!

i skipped to different parts of this 'interview' - and all i heard was this chris williamson droning on...

Whats a can of milk?

Whats a can of milk

No one knew who Steven was before lock-down. He could have done the podcast without showing his face. Similarly, he could invest in people/businesses from a relatively secret position, like many millionaires. He placed himself in the public eye, on Dragon's Den, which attracts a lot of attention. You have to wonder why that was. He's giving me Prince Harry / Megan vibes.

👍

The irony in this video is not lost on me, Steven Bartlett does not need the income from KZfaq videos, he does it for ego. He seeks out the fame, there's no such thing as a free lunch you know this better than most, and the fame being the free lunch has a price to pay, deal with it, or avoid the 'fame' and just do your business.
