What a fascinating episode! Thanks Walter for sharing your knowledge with us!
Morning everyone, could you do me a favour and hit the subscribe button please, it helps us continue to bring you these amazing guests. Appreciate you all & have a great day 🙏🏽❤
Steven Bartlett is only using DECEPTIVE & DISHONEST titles to click bate you in to someone whom talks a lot but never really says anything. He only wants to glorify and enrich himself !!
People stop wasting your time!!! And go and take action instead and live your lives instead.!!!
The reason why I have enjoyed this podcast so much is that it is not a documentary but real conversations about passion for a variety of topics, it does not always have to be the greatest or brightest that bring the best value... genuine humans doing their best - even if I don't like them I give them a listen because of your efforts and what The Diary Of A CEO represents.
I enjoyed this interview. Very well done. I do have a few questions...
What is the name of the book?
Walter's last name is???
Where is the book published?
You guys value influence too much. ppl easily respect him without looking at the full picture. That guy was born rich and all he did was steal and devalue their achievements.
All the interviewer said are vague shallow information that look smart if you shut ur brain off.
A few weeks ago I was traveling in the U.S. my first flight was delayed by 6 hours, when I finally arrived in Houston, I went & sat in the United lounge to wait for my newly booked connection, I took out the book that I was reading & began to flick through. It wasn't 5 minutes later when the legendary author Walter Isaacson himself came and sat opposite to me.
Completely lost for words, I showed him that I was reading his latest book about Elon Musk, and he smiled & grabbed a pen out of his pocket and proceeded to sign my copy. A very kind person, even noticed that I had purchased it over in the U.K!
It was only a couple of weeks ago that I was traveling around Florence, Italy after reading & getting inspired by one of his previous books that documented the life of Leonardo Da Vinci. Having also listened to countless hours of lectures & public Q&As lead by Walter Isaacson, meeting him made my day.
If it wasn't for that 6 hour delay, I would have never bumped into him. The world works in funny ways sometimes! @thediaryofaceo
I’ve worked for Elon for over 15 years in the electrical engineering department. Elon is on mission to save humanity, he knows something we don’t and he is in a hurry. That’s why he is so passionate about his work ethic. Long live Elon !
Appreciate your honesty and courage! After he’s red pilled, he became the Democratic party’s enemy. Most hated besides Trump… 🤪
wow...only God (pls not innocent Elon), is humanity's Saviour... Isaiah 12:2
Elon is just an inquisitive...intelligent humanoid...God bless him 🙏
@@sereimabullivant4697people that of the world will say things like this, this thing of him being alone sets off warning signs to me a Christian , fear, alone, ...ect is everything the opposite of the spirit of Christ which keeps me safe from the evil feelings that only Satan can put into ones mind. I don't want to be alone so I'll go seek out another human that will take care of my needs and sure enough people make their girlfriend
The key to their happiness putting Christ second. Fools of this worldly temporary life, and its not money that is the root of evil its the love of money that is evil, what one will do to get it.
No long live the Lord and savour Jesus Christ, who already told us of the end times and being able to see the signs, when good is evil and evil is good, people turning away from God, and turning to the things of the world, wars , rumor of wars, pestilence and earthquakes. Jesus is the only one that knows what we don't. I don't fear death, for we don't live forever, but I do everyday more and more live my life knowing that I have an appointment and that is the judgement of God, whether I kept my feet clean, or worked on it. I put God first when I start my day, tomorrow is not promised , Im slow to anger now, think before I speak, frustration , anger, anxiety, greed, I strive to live the opposite of these emotions, thats not what Jesus taught us to get caught up in, thats what the evil one throws before an unsaved person , so they have no faith, to believe and be saved. No my friend when you know that you know Jesus has your back the evil one of this world can't get into your mind and you act out the way he planned for you to act out because he gets strength from your torment. I say come quickly Lord, I'm sick already by what I see. Hollywood the modern day of Sodom and Gammorah, I don't even follow Hollywood anymore , bunch of Satan worshippers men with boys, men with men just to be famous. Let's see what the devil has in store for Diddy, gangster rappers know were their going for the things that are important to them are not to my Lord.
Thanks ❤🙏🏻all glory to God
He had all the excuses in the world to become a supervillain and still he is trying his hardest to save and make humanity better. Well done Elon!
Theres no way you genuinely think any billionaire gives a fuck about humanity lmfao elon is not on your side
The problem is he wants to play both parts in a way , as a number of people have said like Sam Altman open IA , " Elon wants to safe humanity, but is only interested if its him who does it".
@@larsstougaard7097 I'd be the same, every ones so easily corrupted by something that i'd only trust myself with that mission.
@@larsstougaard7097Elon um ser muito inteligente com uma grande capacidade intelectual, começou bem com boas motivações mas o poder corrompe, porque ele é humano imperfeito e mortal...que com o tempo começou a desenvolver personalidade narcisista, com complexo de Deus e era inevitável porque as pessoas começaram a vê lo como um deus...mas ele é um ser humano, e quando morrer a sua condição irá ser igual a de um animal morto, não havendo superioridade de homem e animal (assim como todos nós quando morrermos).
Yes, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
The difference between a hero and a villain is what they do with their pain, specifically their childhood pain. Introspection is phenomenal in evolving the healing of the inner child.
So true. I Buried mine.. wasn't the smartest thing to do. At 11 I escaped my nightmare.. but my dreams haunted me..till VA gave me. What I called no dream pills.. it took away my dreams.. but I lived with them for 30 years.. waking so afraid I would go to Dennys where there were people.. still I never delt with all that I stuffed away.
I too have issues of DID. I isolated myself. Just worked..afraid of my own mind. I have gone to therapy..now 64. It showed me what my brain was doing..2-places at
Once.. horrible feeling.. made me see the past. Which I conviently blocked from my accessable thoughts. Things I didn't wznt to face.
Now,I control my enviroment to keep me from going there.. it works if I can control it.. I have a very intolerant person..very smart
But afraid of relationships. So,.
I think I am one of those people who will never have that part of life.
Workaholic..
@@KariKreps-ps3jxwhat?
I am currently reading the book and have already read the biography of Steve Jobs. I am an Arab, Muslim woman, teacher and educator. I find it very inspiring to read biographies of illustrious personalities who mark the course of events in human life, and I highly recommend reading biographies to my students. The fact that we read biographies of people from other cultures is capable of bringing people together, of cultivating tolerance and empathy towards difference and above all of not breaking down others and giving them the benefit of the doubt when they makes mistakes and gives him the chance to reinvent himself and improve. Thanks to the authors of the channel. I'm subscribing right away!
I agree. Walking in another.s shoes via biography broadens the mind.
Well said.
Opening your mind to perspectives is great. Your job is a very hard one and I hope you continue to help educate our future generations.
Alah al bar
You should read only one book the word of God, don't you want to know how to live in this short thing we call life in true happiness and peace of mind. Making your self a better man day by day. And when its appointed onto you to die, don't you want to stand before the creator the one true God, and be judged worthy to enter into His happiness and peace that passes all understanding, and know all things and be bathed in His light , being changed in the spirit never hungry, never sick and its forever 10,000 years from now still giving Him the Glory and praise for allowing you into His mighty kingdom. Or be cast out into utter darkness, filled with pain, hunger, hopelessness, alone forever and ever 10,000 years from now and knowing you had the chance to chose, but you thought you knew better. I'm not willing to take that chance to many things add up in my mind and life journey to understand that just like a watch maker makes a watch out of 1900 pieces I to was created by a mighty one, as everything in this world was made by Him. I chose to be with the Alpha the Omega, the beginning and the end of all things seen and unseen. There is no other life out in the cosmos its just us soles here on earth in the middle of the galaxy the milky way, there are no aliens those are demons anyway. Don't be fooled, man didn't create himself, the big bang is the theory of man, just like evolution what we crawled out of the primordial soup of an ocean and evolved into an ape and kept evolving until we turned into a human. That takes more faith than to believe that God created us, because He wanted to fellowship with us and of course be worshipped by us at the same time. I have no problem bowing down to Him in awe , thanks and the fear of His power. But most of all chosen me to be chosen that He pulled back the Vail that was over my eyes so that I could see that He has been patiently waiting for all to choose Him to believe that I needed to be saved.That the way I was living my life was not the true way, but was the highway of destruction and many are on it, but He showed me the path and there are few who believe and follow that patch which leads to salvation, we will know all things and be in His presences for eternity 10,000 years from now because my sole never dies. But not everyone will go to Heaven His kingdom , they will be turned away into the darkness for eternity, alone, in pain, never satisfied , and knowing you had a chance , its not going to be like Vegas thats for sure. Thank you Lord, King of Kings. For leaving your words of wisdom the way out of this mess. I pray He comes in my lifetime, I sick by what I see.
Elon buying Twitter was the best move ever…he has opened up free speech and continues to stand up for changing the way we get to hear both side, if not all sides of the story…or shall I say standing up for TRUTH. 🎉🎉🎉 Thanks @Elonmusk
I am a disabled mom whose been bedridden for 8 years. I see a little genius in my only son who is 9. I homeschool him even though he’s learned how to read, edit videos, makes music, does math in his head because he hates writing.
I am deeply grateful for this interview. It has calmed my nervous system in many ways.
Thank you 🙏🏼 incredible how This interview is the answer to a prayer🎖️
My husband was told as a child that it was not worth his time coming to school as he hating writing, was terrible at English, French, Geography and History and didnt have any success writing essays etc..(no one thought about dyslexia in those days!) then he discovered maths and physics which were the only subjects he was good at. Fast forward a few decades, he is semi retired now but has been a professor at university for much of his life, written several books on his subject, written hundreds of scientific papers, headed his own department, and several other departments and committees etc, worked in conjunction with NASA and other international scientific companies and organisations and is still working on new projects now… if your son has the capability (and it sounds like he does) then with hard work and dedication he can reach for the moon… you have done the best thing by home schooling him too… keep him away from the woke mind virus so he can think for himself. Good luck to both of you :)
wish your son grows up well and proud of your devotion
@@Maugirl2- ❤👍
@@Maugirl2as a mom of two with psychological and autoimmune issues- I am rooting for you! We also homeschool and I struggle with what’s best all the time but I know ultimately… I am the only one who feels that intensely about their lives and learning.
I encourage and applaud you momma.
@@septicalfrogs sorry… i think you meant to reply to the OP @magicalpatterns good luck to you :)
This is a great interview, I found myself admiring Musk a bit more than I did before. Thank you for sharing!
If I could sit down with two people in the world I'd pick Elon Musk and Donald Trump,just imagine that conversation, not a dull moment I guarantee it ,I wish !
I love the way Elon distances himself from perfection. This means a lot to me. Imagine any famous rich you know having the guts to allow his biographer to say that he thinks he is bipolar, overweight or lives in a 2 room house. Elon is a legend, but the cool factor here is that he does not make it an issue! Elon, greetings from Mykonos Greece, you know you are always welcomed here!
Agreed , Elon, soo awesome and really cares; different from most multi billionaires 🙏🥰😍🎉
@@LWalker-xu3gpyup, for some reason I naturally took a liking to him in a comfortable sense. Now I know why why have similarities of of upbringing and the way we were treated…
He only have the gut because he knows that it is the way to really fool people into believe that He is good 😅
You really think Elon is watching this😂.Just being on the spectrum I would say no because he doesn’t are but I could be wrong. I have a son on spectrum and he just doesn’t think this way.mindyou he’s not a quadrillionare but generally human behavior and what people think of him isn’t important?
@sexygabby30 so was Amber HeRd😂
Wow, this guy is different. He is smiling alot throughout the interview.
He shines. He obviously stays young and inquisitive with all his adventures.
He had an interesting life - his story telling is fantastic.
Thank you for having Walter on the show !!
"I think Musk sees himself on the same trajectory as Steve Jobs." If we're being honest, his trajectory is more impressive than anyone else's, especially since 2005-ish.
Hadn't heard of Walter before this, but this was one of your most fascinating, compelling episodes. Walter sharing his experience here is an absolute gift.
Agree!
Live under a rock?
@@Walker172012 Non-American living in Asia. Not US-centric... like most of humanity. Don't be hurt, though. ;)
He is probably a handler

This is FASCINATING. I was swallowed by this episode. The level of integrity that this man has is remarkable. Considering how much he knows. Stunning interview.
So amazing hearing how much you enjoyed this one! Team DOAC
Ayyoo swallowed? SMH 🤦
@@JesusFollower596jit trippin 💀
This was one of THE MOST PROFOUD discussions I ever had the opportunity to listen to! Thank you all of you.
It's very different to 'not coddle' over children, compared with not showing them enough love and positive attention.
There is a very fine balance to be had there.
I personally think it would be appropriate to let go of the hate towards Elon and start to appreciate this remarkable man. Elon has No dark side! He was abused as a child that doesn't make him bad. And even though he was severely abused throughout his childhood and he was beaten by bullies almost to death, he Still cares about all living beings and he wants to help and make the world a better place. He is a genius of epic proportions that has never existed here on Earth before. He is a Deeply compassionate man. He helps everywhere he helps anyone who asks for help. He works and works and works to help save the world.
Even though he wears a baphomet suit for Halloween, are you Christian just curious?
@@drendabaerwolf7888 I'm not a Christian.
His daughter would disagree.
@@1tonio567 His children love him and appreciate him. Maybe the one son who wants to be a girl is mad at him for not being on board with trans surgeries. But they all know that Elon deeply cares.
Elon is a construct. I don’t believe in him. He’s been created just for you all to follow him. It’s dumb.
Elon acquiring Twitter will no doubt go down as the most altruistic gift to humanity any one person has bestowed.
Yes!
The free press mark II
One few will understand
Almost heroic
Elon's megaphone Twitter. Elon's weapon Neuralink. Elon's hiding places Boring Co. Elon's escape to freeze to death on Mars being taken by DOD 😅
Now I really have to get Walter Isaacson's bio of Elon Musk. He explained so well describing Elon Musk so vividly and honestly and sincerely, the character of a rather complexed, difficult to understand human being, but a person who I think needs his sole nurtured and his assurance of being admired and liked by all. I really enjoyed listening to this so interesting conversation with Stephen, and Walter Isaacson❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you
It's a great read. We're borrowing it from the library.
Not a second of skepticism? Just lap it all up as if it’s true? Not myth making? Not consolidation of memory?
I am the owner of a company based in Estonia and I follow you from a few months after a bad bankruptcy of a parent company I started in 2023; your content is being of huge help now that I'm rebuilding my business from scratch
Steven, you don’t have to ask people to subscribe anymore. Your content is good enough you people will subscribe without you asking. Trust the work you are putting out.
I subscribed because he asked 👍🏻
Ask and you shall receive. It has nothing to do with doubting the quality and value of his content but rather, he wants to continue growing and improving (as we should) and its his way of giving back and rewarding the loyalty of his subscribers. I find that both beautiful and inspiring. He asked, I subscribed.
All TH-camrs have to put ask people to do that in their videos because there’s always newcomers to the channel that need to be reminded to subscribe. Just let it be.
I've watched several interviews with Walter in the last 6 months and this is the best one. A testament to your ability to ask fantastic questions, Steven. Keep it going!
Such a great interviewer and such a great person to learn from, wow. Unique insight
I recommend Lex Fridman's interview too if you haven't seen!
In this day and age, we need aggressive, compassionate people to make the difference.
Walter Isaacson's own story is very interesting....would love to hear more about him...what he shared of his media experience was great....Fantastic interview thanks ❤❤❤
I thought we'd hear a little more about him as well
One of the best interviews STEVEN has done, the questions he asked the guest are so insightful, and spot-on.
May I be a “grammar nazi” for the sole purpose of teaching you? There’s only one mistake. Perhaps this is not your native language &/or you appreciate learning. I mean absolutely no disrespect, & I’m aware this may be highly annoying if you don’t appreciate learning. Hahahah
OK, great! Thanks!
You should have an exclamation point after “Steven has done”. That’s a complete thought & should not be continued with a comma.
Also, I completely agree with you! That is all. 😊
@@Name-oz4lq😂😂😂
Ya I want to meet Steven so badly.
Great job on writers part, commuting to follow Elon for 2 years, I appreciate that. And also the writer seems like a well rounded person with self awareness.

“Elon and Walter sitting in a room crafting a story to make America swoon. CIA! CIA! CIA!”
This man sees every facet of the soul he observes. Amazing. What beautiful intelligence 💗💗💗💗
Walter has got the look and the charisma of the great actor of all times Spencer Tracy ("Guess Who's coming to Dinner"1967)
It's a pleasure to see and to hear him talk! Thank you for this interesting interview!
True!
Walter Isaacson is such a hero of mine. His book on Steve Jobs literally inspired me as a teenager to pick my degree. Brilliant writer and great to see him explain his writing process.
What did you pick ? Curious
Wht s ur degree
This guy is so devicive typical cozy up to a guy to get his story. Then criticize him for his way of doing business and creating new ways forward
Him buying twitter honestly restored my hope in humanity 😂 40:30 and I’m by far not the only person that feels that way
Me too!!!!!
Treating workers with no humanity until they burn out does not seem like a good thing. Emotional turmoil is never good. It sends trauma into workers families. “He burns people out”. I love Tesla And space faring But someone without human empathy due to a brain defect and bi polar disease. should not be In charge of a social media global company.
I have a lot of respect for him doing that as well.
Kudos to Mr.Walter Isaacson for his Relentless and Awe-inspiring Research! 👌💯
It was accidentally found this channel. Love it 🥰. Great interview, not interrupting the guest like the other Chanels. ❤
What a fascinating and eloquent man, I could listen to him all day! Brilliant interview.
Musk and Jobs are the fascinating people he is just the collector and tape recorded of their genius. He did choose them, so give him credit for that!
I am completely with Elon on the woke left and the push to transition kids and young teens.
This episode is so amazing and you are such a great interviewer.
Thank you so much !
Childhood is the blue print for all icons, idols, ideologists, heroes and villains. Most great success people have a bittery childhood and failing pasts, but knowledge & talents empowered themselves to the next level.
Partially right
Walter Isaacson is an amazing story teller, I loved this interview. Thank you and keep up the great work!
He is and it was a great story but I cant get it that Musk let him stay around for so long and snitch.
Look at the apple logo, agents of Satan. Freemason sad frauds. Follow Jesus Christ alone. They ate the forbidden fruit. 🙏
Really?! Your first instinct is fawning? Americans are weird. Gotta fawn over someone. If it’s not Elon it’s Walter. Pathetic.
Ever consider Walter is CIA and in the biz of myth-making?
You might want to do that.
@@Auktioneronlineexactly. This whole story is ridiculous. A godless people need these myths. Walter is likely CIA and in the biz of myth making.
Americans need idols. Because they are Godless.
Dear Steven and team, please do an interview with this man again, but about him, his life and his work....as he's more interesting than Musk or Bezos. Very pleasant guest. 👏
Yes!!
Excellent interview. What I’m left believing, Elon is one cool dude 😎
I'm so happy that Elon bought Twitter. Without him doing that freedom of speech would be a distant memory.
I heard about Elon when a bunch of kids went to visit a cavern in Thailand and got stuck by an unexpected flood, as I remember it. Days have scrolled down but nobody could rescue the boys and their teacher. However, in the US, Elon organised some plan to try that rescue in Thailand. In the US the Media, and in other Countries, were rejoicing out of the failed attempt., the Mediocres were happy because the operation didn’t work as previewed. That episode put Elon into my❤
He forced his engineers to build a dumbass submarine which couldn’t even remotely fit in the caves. Then he defamed the guy who actually saved the children for calling him out. He’s a narcissistic POS who only cares about looking good
The MSM is controlled by the leftists. I can see how Elon tried to correct and save humanity!!!
Wow what a fascinating guy! I love that he's able to see so many different pov's -- not critical. Seems really good at understanding people without letting his emotions get in the way. It even sounded a bit like Steven was trying to get him to say something bad about Elon and he was so respectable.
Thank you Steve and Walter for this, yet another, revealing look at some of today's best, well known great enterpreneurs! I totally love it - from start to finish!!! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
I didn’t think this would interest me, finally listened, I was so wrong. Thank you Steven
Steven this is without exageración the most insightful podcast on the internet. It has changed my way of thinking, my habits and how i comunicate with people. I can not thank you enough. If i could do 1 thing for the people i love i would try and get them interested in your content because of the level of personal growth i know can be achieved just by the continous listening of it. I literally can not recommend it enough
Hey Andres, thanks so much for sharing some of your journey with us! We're so glad you're loving the podcast, and hope you find even more insight in the episodes ahead! Team DOAC
Oh please. Most insightful? Changed your way of thinking? Personal growth? Stop it.
@@meghan42 I’m with you 🙌🏻 what a ridiculous comment. Probably a paid bot, honestly. I’ve been listening/researching lately to how many paid ‘subscribers’ these channels buy. Nothing is as it appears on the internet. Go through the comments and look at which comments Steven replies to for engagement on the video😂 it’s a weird world we’re living in. The humans are starting to be outnumbered.
No coincidence all planned Neurolink AI humanoid SLAVERY death, what kind of old gay follow somebody young.
Its like in Royal familie everything is preplaned for them autor of many books Ken Follett ❤ " Fall of Giants" " The men from St Petersburg" many others learn the history of plots and conspiracy on higher level you will know.
@@meghan42Why not? Some people find inspiration in listening to experts on different stuff.
I guess that some people are willing to find negativity in absolutely anything.
3:08 Steven, you have more than fulfilled your promise to us, your followers! I think the the podcast, the invitees and the topics discussed are absolutely magnificent! Thank you.
I scrolled through the comments and could've given two thumbs up to 95 percent. It's the second time I watched this one, and there will probably be a third - an excellent educational journey for anyone. I wish all schools would make these sorts of discussions available to their students, whatever their age. But it's valuable even to old folks like me who lived through the history discussed. It gives you perspective. Well Done!
I've never heard of this man but I like the way he talks and the excitement in what he tells.
fantastic interview. After reading his Steve Jobs biography, i’ve been a huge Isaacson fan. History belongs to the storytellers and this man is able to capture individual stories like no other
No it belongs to the winner's always have always will.
Nothing new than what I as offered in the garden of Eden 🐍 💩 🔥 wake up.
Maybe Stephen’s most significant and fantastic interview of all time. Significant because those of us who follow Stephen know how much he wants to meet and engage with Elon Musk. This was arguably the next best thing. And Isaacson does not disappoint. Equally interesting was Isaacson’s clear interest in Stephen and knowledge of the podcast (and Stephen’s life). I know this is a very “meta” comment, and the interview itself was, as always, exceptional, but it was also an incredible milestone. I’d bet anyone that Stephen is now working the Isaacson connection to help land that “dream” interview - Walter Musk. Go get him, Stephen!
Such a fantastic conversation indeed. Thank you so much for your support!! Team DOAC 🙏
Elon and Walter sitting in a room crafting a story to make America swoon. CIA! CIA! CIA!
Seriously?! Fawning?
On my phone this morning: an interview with Walter Isaacson talking about his book on Elon Musk.
I do not believe in Elon Musk. Why is there so much PR for this guy?
I think he's a construct. He's a myth made for idol worship. Everything is to create an audience that "follows" him and adores him.
That's who we are. Godless people who are easily persuaded by public relations.
I am a cynic. Granted. But Walter Isaacson ... he seems like CIA. His job is to write books that consolidate memory. I resent him.
But Americans lap it up. Pathetic.
The best Walter Isaacson interview I've seen.
This is probably the most engaging interview you’ve put out so far.
I love Walter Isaacson's work. We get so many insights from other peoples lives.
A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one. - George RR Martin
Even if the insights are false? Even if they are myths?
@@notnow7973 Yes, if those insights apply to my own life. Then it doesnt matter if they don't apply for someone else.
Elon and Walter sitting in a room crafting a story to make America swoon. CIA! CIA! CIA!
I absolutely love the content that you produce. The level of professionalism and insight with which you conduct your interviews is a pleasure to watch. Please continue doing things the way you are. This show is an example to other podcasts of what great interviewing looks like. Subscribed!
Elon is a different kind of person. Hes a person with drive like no other with huge goals that are for most not even possible.
I am nearly finished with Walter Isaacson's book (audio book) on Elon Musk. It is quite fascinating, delving in on what Musk has gone through in his life: details on his childhood, relationships + family, multiple companies he's successfully built and others that failed, his way of thinking, drive, demons, passion, and much more. The book is 20 hours long and I have about 2 hours left- and at times it can feel grueling, extremely technical, but wildly detailed. However I highly appreciate the deep inside look in one of the most innovative and intelligent man in our time today. If you're an engineer, have a technical inclination, or are simply curious about Musk's unique mind, I think you'd enjoy it. Also Isaacson is a great author and story teller, and I enjoyed his perspective. Thank you Steven for the interview!

Your channel is fascinating and interesting. Your navigation into the lives of these famous people you meet, and transforming it onto the podcast without being intrusive is really a good skill to have . Thank you ❤😊
Elon Musk is a person who beside a brokenness is a most loveable person . What is needed is a peaceful quiet person . That truly can separate themselves from the chaos that surrounds him and his life . An extremely worthy of God human being . I personally admire this man in almost every way . I actually am concerned about his longevity at this point . He is worthy of true LOVE .
He was created just for this. Idol worship.
Seriously?! He’s not a CIA asset? Same with Walter?
“Elon and Walter sitting in a room crafting a story to make America swoon. CIA! CIA! CIA!” Notnow
Just listened to the audiobook after watching this pod, book is fantastic, well written & narrated and exceptionally researched & very non-biased which surprised me
He's our humanitys (think) "out of the box" Rocket Man!
I really hope he will have a long lasting flying career.
What a living symbol of hardship and revange on life.
Nothing different could have accomplished anything similiar.
I wish him health and prosperity!
Walter, I don't agree with your politics, but I love your exhaustive research style, implacably walking in the footsteps of your subjects to know them with an intimacy that cannot be obtained through a few arms length interviews. It's a seldom employed technique, possibly unique to you among contemporary biographers. I also deeply respect your view about the invaluable societal role the story teller plays in consolidating and retransmitting human virtues to succeeding generations
After listening to this fascinating interview, I eagerly look forward to reading your Musk saga.
Yep. Walter's left leaning ideologies surface at times. Some chapters seems to have hidden agenda. Other than that good book.
Walter Isaacson is an absolute legend . Thank you for all the great Biographies and i think many of us want an Autobiography !
Pretty sure he’s a CIA asset.
steve is going to be this man in 50 years.
Walter is a true biographer. He without thought would mention little details about Steven throughout the interview which indicates he did a ton of research on Steven too. 🙏🏽✨🧡
As he mentioned, he would follow the subject of his biography for 2 years. Of course, he said Jobs would let him be nearby 1 week out of a month & Elon would allow Walter to be nearby 2-3 weeks in a month.
I disagree with his opinion regarding twitter….perhaps it’s his ability to separate out emotion that makes him more capable of standing for truth…..I love that Elon is calling out people who pretend to be doing good and are actually doing evil. He’s a gift to our society in a day and age where people are caving in to bullies instead of standing up for what we truly believe. We should ALL have the chance to speak and be heard and the censorship has gone beyond acceptable and damaging in fact to our country
Absolutely correct!! Elon Musk purchasing twitter “x” was the most important circuit breaker the unchallenged avalanche of the left woke Marxist. He through X levels the playing field and gives hope to conservatives that you can speak and be heard ….
The guest completely misread Elons ethos of building a better humanity…
Cheers
Excellent point.
We'll said... Thank you...
I agree 100%. I suspect Walter leans heavily to the left 🤔
Doesn’t matter right or left I love Elon because he very transparent and standing up for free speech,and very smart but yet dumb not knowing where we came from Lack’s wisdom on that Which is the most important thing in life Knowing God created us all
Walter is The Bomb so glad he made the right decision to leave mass media and create great works of literature
I would argue Elon understands human emotions much deeper than this man does. Period.
Steven's interview style delving into Elon Musk's childhood experiences was masterful👏👏His poignant questions navigated the depths of Musk's past, unraveling a compelling narrative!
Nothing new than what I as offered in the garden of Eden 🐍 💩 🔥 wake up. 💩
Fascinating interview! WOW, every time you think you've seen the best interview, the next comes out. Bravo Stephen and all his guests.
what an amazing journalist, biographer and human !!!
it's always great to work for or with a person that has no limits on his mind at all but is open all the way for every possibilities and achieve what has not been done before , its awesome
thank you Steven, bring Elon on the show!!!!
I really enjoy your interviews, the best traits of yours is your listening to your guests. Your intelligent questions is also great skill that you possess. Admirable characteristics in a person.
I enjoyed this author's honesty about himself, a humble person. Very lucky to have had a very nice childhood. My husband is like the author, very balanced person.
Well, that’s all I know is this book better do justice for him he’s a kind man he might have his moods and his issues, but we all do!!
Oh Boy! How rewarding was this for me, a big Thanks to both of you.😊
I believe Elon Musk is humanities hope for truth amongst a cesspool of politicians.
21:04 "Having something to prove coming out of childhood and demons to harness tends to drive you a bit more". Hugs to everyone who can relate❤
Terrific interview w/a great fellow. You do a thoughtful job of asking interesting questions and even better, letting the man answer. The reason I have not subscribed in the past was that I did not like hearing about the % of listeners who subscribe. It left me feeling under a microscope. But today, thumbs up and you have a new subscriber. Thank you.
A beautiful interview… enlightening… thank you
I was diagnosed with auadhd later in life, I was also heavily traumatized by narcissistic abuse, I was diagnosed with cptsd, pba and bpd. Meds never helped me until I found a med called nudexta that helps with the emotional incontinence, I didn't start laughing and crying uncontrollably until after a bad head injury tho. the things he said about musk feels like I'm looking in a fractal mirror. I think when immersed in abuse your whole life, its hard to find peace. like people get addicted to the chaos of their mind and they don't settle down which leads to the emotional exhaustion that I think is often labeled as bipolar. They way I hyper focus on my art reminds me of the way you speak of his attention to detail. I think its wildly paradoxical the awareness our country has for mental health. Most of our idols and most prominent leaders are lead subconsciously by their past and their attachment theory. and the ways in which our younger years form our frameworks later in life. I have a lot of empathy for musk because I can relate to melting down modes, or apathetic modes. I think it all comes down to attachment theory and how personalities affect each other. His dad was cold and that I think still it pushes musk to validate himself with addition to overworking and musk doesn't have the capacity to slow down and feel the muck. Also probably why he expects a lot of his employees. Perfectionism is also a way to cope with having a NPD parent. A lot of times autistic people are affected by cognitive dissonance at a deeper rate because of the way autistic people are inherently seemly strong with a moral compass and hyper vigilance. Reiki and dance help me slow down and reach calming states and for a long time I did not realise how much my art was my resting space in a world of chaos. It breaks my heart he feels so hurt by his daughter. What a humanizing story of a man who is commonly demonized or misunderstood.
Oh boy, just meditate
Not even half way through. Brilliant episode, amazing guest. We have too many regulators, not enough risk takers. Such an accurate observation, so succinctly put. Love it. Already one if my favourite episodes
Yes risk is fine if any negative consequences will only affect yourself. Elon could take risks and cut off those servers in an instant - they belonged to him. Had an employee done that and their system went down, they would be sacked. Elon is definitely a forward thinking doer. It’s only because of people like him that we do move forward. Elon works on logic, not emotion so unrelatable to many.
I completely disagree with Walter's take on Elon's acquisition of Twitter. He's exactly what the company needed to give itself a real purpose in line with the renewed attachment to core values we're seeing in the West.
A great story teller. An excellent interviewer.
Walter Isaacson is the king of biographies most certainly , i love his work including his most recent work Elon Musk. your guests are very fascinating , i dont miss a single episode.
Walter is a love with a heart and a great brain offering wisdom and class!
HOW AM I GOING TO GET EDITTING DONE WHEN YOU HAVE A NEXT LEVEL GUEST LIKE THIS!!! DAMN! Thank you
He’s not a conspiracy the theory he sees what’s happening in the world and he’s pretty truthful right on point he’s not a conspiracy theorist at all!!
A very wise, inspiring, insightful and well spoken gentleman! Thank you 💎🙏
Thanks for your love and support, it's my pleasure talking to you here. Where are you from?. . . .
Just found this channel.
This is a great interview.
Allowing the person to speak.
Not rushed or forced
Great questions
Fantastic
Brilliant interview Steven. I have read the Elon Musk book, as well as 3 of Walter Isaacson’s other biographies. He is truly brilliant, and is able to bring his subjects alive, making his books very readable.
STEVE: DOAC ~IT JUST keeps getting BETTER & BETTER~ I love your honesty and commitment to your word regard this show!
Just want to say before I even listen to this particular video. I'm so glad I found this channel. I appreciate his great content; even when I don't always agree 100% with the guests I find the content thought provoking, helpful, and often inspiring. Thank you!
This is a fantastic interview. I’m definitely going to look for Walter’s other books. I hope someday you are able to interview Elon yourself. Thanks for always asking interesting and deep questions.
Yes, that would be amazing; Steven interviewing Elon!
It's the first time I've spend over a biographer interview. It's all because of one person Elon Musk. My curiosity towards his personal lives is now fulfilled after this interview. Thankyou so much for sharing your experience with the most complex personality and developer of our generation. I choose to empathize not to judge. He's my inspiration indeed.
Look at the apple logo, agents of Satan. Freemason sad frauds. Follow Jesus Christ alone. They ate the forbidden fruit. 🙏
Thank you for taking us through the journey of others lives. You put their stories together very well. From country mouse 👍🇺🇸🐁
This is one best interview I ever listened to, for learning Steve Job & Elon musk better. Thank you both, for doing a great job.
Absolutely incredible Work Steven Bartlett. Well done. This is amazing.
is it fashionable? to say work when you mean passion?
@@crypton_8l87no but it’s fashionable to use a strangers full name lol
Absolutely beyond great interview. Steven Bartlett does not disappoint! Thank You So Much!
Walter story telling is so great!
Loved this - Thank you! God Bless x
