No Questions on Political views or Ideology ? Was that his demand for the interview ? Disappointing TBH. It was a 'feel good' only about the bloke. He is extremely articulate, so I dont know why you used a velvet glove w. the guy.
Steven Bartlett your listening skills are on another level👏. What sets you apart is your ability to create an atmosphere where guests don’t just talk they reflect, go deep, and share parts of themselves that often remain untouched in other interviews. You don’t just ask questions; you unlock stories.
Trevor, Abel was my car mechanic at the time you lived there, I lived around the corner in Orange Grove. I read your book for the first time and you won’t believe my shock and surprise when I got to the part where your mom met Abel and everything became so familiar!! I couldn’t believe that I’d been going to your house regularly to get my car serviced and fixed. All sorts of mixed feelings for a man who I thought was quite lovely and a great mechanic. I was quite outraged! I am just so happy your life turned out so well and that your mom is safe! ❤ You’re a wonderful human. And you Steve ❤️
Steve has had many scientists and medical professionals on the show over the years, including psychologists, and yet Noah has given some of the most profound thoughts on life and human development. I will be listening to this episode again.
Agreed! Trevor's amazing at conveying his insights and knowledge in a way that's both simple and profound. Steven did a fantastic job interviewing and hosting Trevor, staying engaged and present the whole time ♥
This was the interview I have been secretly hoping would happen! Because most DOAC interviews are so long, I typically take a few days, listening in 30 min increments. Today, I sat down in front of my laptop, full-screen view and watched from beginning to end, with absolutely no regrets. I am always blown away by Trevor's ability to articulate emotions, complex thoughts and nuanced contextualities. But Steven, having you listen, respond and ask questions only elevated this conversation to everything I never knew I wanted to hear from both of you. My 3 big takeaways: 1. Growing up in abusive homes can make many hypersensitive to those around them and conflict-averse (you don't have to protect everyone). 2. No one who does anything BIG does it alone! (My mentor always says: if you want to go fast, do it alone. If you want to go far, Squad Up!) 3. Make friends a priority. You will never regret it. Steven, you said the bigger the subscribers get, the bigger the guests get. You didn't lie! So glad to be one of your subscribers. One of the best interviews ever! (and that includes the ones with Mo Gadet and Gabor Mate)
Ignoring emotional health is truly an ultimate curse. I recommend reading “Health and Beauty Mastery” by Julian Bannet, that book is a real eye opener! I completely changed my habits.
I've read Trevor's book. My heart broke, then soared, so many times. I cried. I laughed out loud. My husband thought I was going nuts, and kept asking me if I was okay. Trevor, you are a treasure. Hugs, darling, stay strong. 💫
One of the most powerful conversations on so many levels. Personal, psychoanalytical, social, political, where to end. In a tone of voice that is absolutely brilliant to listen to and be able to absorb, and feel the emotions without being overwhelmed. Thank you for this!!! Respect in every word and sharing!
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, Steve_porassss I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Steven, I'm a 54-year-old black woman from very very poor beginnings. What I wish for you to read is (thank you) for every video I've had a chance to watch, listen to, and learn from... I'm still in a state of a humble life, but you and your staff have given this basic human a look into the other side of thinking. Which is always an eye opener. Thank you and your Staff😊
Trevor is such an eloquent speaker with such a strong grip on human psychology and philosophy. Never seen this side of him! Thoroughly enjoyed this convo
As a South African, I really appreciate how Trevor represents our country and its nuances to the world. We're such a complex people with dynamics that are intrinsically understood by us who live our reality daily..but he articulates us so succinctly through his own story too. Its little understood how blessed a country and people we are in RSA to coexist as peacefully as possible with every race, religion, culture, languages etc today given the gruesomeness of our past..the consequences of which we're still grappling with today. Nkosi sikelela iAfrika nyan🙏🏽
I lived in SA for 15 years. A real education. Knew some truly amazing people there. But co existing in the blessedness you describe? The men can’t co exist with the women… rape… murder… the crime levels are off the scale!
To me, he is. He is as well a top bloke. This interview is, for me, very interesting as per his perspectives and insights due to his life experience. No need to force yourself to like him. It's maybe not interesting for you. You be you. I'll be me.
The last stuff i've heared about ZA is that people cut the powerlines, because they know then the energy company will cut the power, because there are energy problems. Any person from ZA that i talk with tells the same story... "get out if you can". People cant even run a foodstore, because the coolers cant run without power, so you cant really store anything like milk producs or fresh fish/chicken.
@@DreaMeRHoLicWondering where these people live in SA? I am from there and yes, this SOMEtimes happens in parts of SA…but it’s not a consistent standard…so? Not sure where these people live that spoke to you…pls share?
@@DreaMeRHoLicwe are not going anywhere. Every country has its problems and some of us are happy to live through the good and the bad. Power problems are being restored and the government is investing in renewable energy. I think you are meeting a lot of disgruntled SA expats.
This episode feels like a conversation between two friends. Sharing experiences and highlighting parts of one another’s lives that impacted them most. Amazing chemistry between the two of you. Love this ❤
My two favourite people on the planet. Two men who are compassionate, kind, curious, committed to learning and self growth; developing self insights and valuing vulnerability as one of our greatest strengths. May the two of you continue to learn and grow and share the journey with the rest of us. The shared experience... your theme park experience was a great example of valuing people as opposed to things and activities.
This was incredibly healing and heartwarming to watch, especially for someone who grew up in a toxic, patriarchal community where showing emotions and vulnerability was seen as a weakness.
Born a crime is the best book i have ever read, it feels like you are walking with Trevor through his journey. I laughed, i cried, i mulled over the very meaning of life. What an amazing human being.
This episode resonated with me so much, because I recently shared with my therapist that the lack of friendship was being to affect me, especially working in a high stress and negative environment. I’m working on building new and fulfilling relationships. The things I love the most about Trevor Noah is his depth and delivery combined with his authenticity and humor. I was truly sad when he left the Daily Show, but excited to tune in to his podcast.!! 🎉 Looking forward to taking in some wisdom from “What Now”. Steven, I can say this now, because I haven’t heard Trevor Noah’s podcast yet, BUT… I absolutely LOVE Diary of A CEO!! You are an excellent interviewer/facilitator. Please keep it coming!
From the dawn of public discourse to now, no conversation has been this phenomenal for the ADHD population. This is the ultimate interview for ADHD individuals in history. Thank you, Steven.
Interesting... I noticed the differences. Trevor is a 'people' guy and Steven feels most himself when he's alone. Both are deep thinkers and emotionally expressive tho.
I am South African living in Sweden. I grew up under apartheid in South Africa. It is like hearing my own story . Because I know, I am sorry that you had to go through all you are going through. Thank you for sharing so honestly🙏🏻.
Do you ever feel like the government hides a lot about what’s really in our food? It’s seriously messed up when you start to look into it. I’ve been reading this book called The 23 Former Doctor Truths by Lauren Clark, and it breaks down so much of what we’re not being told.
I'm also in the "I don't feel like I belong anywhere" camp and it was interesting to see Trevor's mind break a little bit at the very concept of the answer being 'nowhere' or 'alone'.
I loved this interview! The part where Trevor talks about growing up in an unsafe household, really spoke to me. Decades later, it still struggle with how that experience has shaped me, or continues to shape me.
5:07 When he said.. I'm conscious of choosing my friends because I think that's me actively choosing the people who are going to be shaping me as I live my life. Yup same here 😊 I've been doing this because my energy is precious to me need to share it with meaningful individuals in my life only. ❤
I have been wondering for so long what the backstory was for Trevor that was not articulated in his written work. It was a perpetual nagging feeling of incompleteness. Yes, he has been abundantly transparent and self revelatory, but there always seemed like there was another story underneath his storytelling. This interview was it-- and Steve your talent for assisted narrative telling is becoming legendary. Kudos. Trevor is such a remarkable human being who has had the world at his feet yet never allowed the supplication of celebrity bring him hubristically to his knees. Having been exposed to such a breadth of humanity and still able to see a throughput of compassionate listening and wisdom is truly a gift from God. I have never forgotten the interview Trevor did with Kellyanne Conway, who is clearly a deeply troubled human being. Yet, he was able to give her humanity and shame her behavior. I sat back thunderstruck. Only a spirit who has experienced nooks and crannies of human existence that are hidden from most people would have been able to head the conversation away from the typical traps that someone like Kellyanne creates. She perverts language for a living, Trevor elevates language for a living and it was a masterful moment of television. Trevor impresses me as someone who is able to sit with grief and see its beauty and pathos at the same time which is ultimately the gift of all comedians. They make us laugh to keep our jovial tears from transforming to weeping. I wonder how he heals-- at a point when I was near death, his show and humor created enough dopamine for me to keep going, heal my brain, soothe my soul. How does he restore his soul? At a biochemical level, who or what gives him the dopamine and serotonin he rightfully deserves? Metaphysically, where will all of this soul work take him and his audience? He has already accomplished so much, I shudder in anticipation of the amazing places he will go. I genuinely pray that Trevor is able to rise to a level of his human experience that transcends his wildest dreams of happiness. He deserves it-- he has given so much to us through his transparency, authenticity and vulnerability. God speed on your journey, Trevor. May the road always rise up to meet you...
I listened, I listened more. I cried, I listened more. I felt even more than your words, I felt the two of you listening, speaking and hearing and sharing….fully. I thank you for what can never be quantified, total transparency of your lived experience (lived by more of us than not). Thank the you both and Trevor, the greatest comedians are what you just expressed. The truth in its most human way. I thank you for myself, but in particular, for my son🧐☺️🔥❤
This is high up on the list of my favourite episodes. I appreciate Trevor’s honesty especially about the last question about hitting the button. I have now saved this to a playlist because I'll absolutely watch again
Another South African here. Lovely conversation guys! Trevor is an exceptionally intelligent and sensitive person. Thoroughly enjoyed seeing you guys connect.
Hi Steven. This is an amazing interview. I love how you asked the questions and the responses. Your interviewing skills and listening capability are impressive. Trevor always ensures (he contextualizes) and provides nuance in his responses. This interview is therapeutic; the insight, the vulnerability, and the consciousness are something we do not see often. There is a lot to unpack and learn from this interview. Great work.
It's very hard to face the abuse we are subjected to as children. We want to believe we came from loving, functional families. But then we get old enough to see reality. It takes years to unpack and I applaud anyone having the courage to do so. I knew I was on my own by the age of 4. I knew that education was my ticket out. Many of us in the arts were in similar situations. Our talents provided an escape from the abuse. Hypervigilance keeps us safe, too. We over-perform. It feels great to instead relax, let other people carry the ball, and allow others to carry responsibilities. Many of us were forced into the parenting role as children in order to keep things safe. Anger sets us free. When we really work through the anger about what happened then we can start to look at things realistically. We don't have to forgive, but we can begin to heal when we reach radical acceptance. You are right about women finding purpose in life. It doesn't have to be complicated. Learn to enjoy life. Relax and value being alive. Then do what you can to help others enjoy life too. That is purpose. Toxic male culture punishes vulnerability as you said. There is also this expectation that men should be "special." That is quite narcissistic. We can all just "be" and our inherent value is there. We don't have to prove we have value. I am moved listening to this video and wish both of you all the best.
@@cellosong thank you so much for your thoughts, feelings about your childhood experience. We all grow up with many different emotions coursing through us not realizing what they mean or even how to process them. I felt that feeling that I had a pretty good normal childhood, Until I became an adult, then I realized how really frigging wild our home life was. How when you are small and have 6 other siblings, but You are the youngest one , that your oldest sister, first born is 17yr 5 months older than you and all the others ( 3 girls 4 boys. In all) are maybe 1.5 - 3.5 years apart . For me it was like having two families in one. Cuz my sister was graduating from high school when I was born, see where I’m coming from . She was setting off soon for college. My oldest brother soon left for the Navy going over seas and I am a small baby, I didn’t get to know them until I was much older. That sister finished college and moved to Hawaii !! That brother stayed over seas for many years, married and lived near Japan . so I really was only around The others. As they came and went. For the most part the last 2 brothers the older, one Got drafted into the Vietnam war . So it was then just the last brother and me 3.5 years apart. But he and I are the closest of all. It wasn’t until I was really close to maybe 45 or 50 did I finally get to know my oldest Sis. And as far as forgiveness, I get ya, I had to go through Addiction get Sober at 32 and understand forgiveness was not for THEM It was for ME, when I practice forgiveness I am able to see others in a whole different light 💡And now at Almost 69 yrs old and on my 3rd and Last husband of 36 years together, I am able to help others when I can, step out and live a peaceful productive life. Funny I wanted to listen to this episode cuz I have lived with ADHD my whole life and it has driven me down some crazy paths in life. From going to Nursing school to then leaving that occupation to working in the oil fields for 5 yrs then having a daughter. Changing occupation a last time, working in the plant nursery industry from 1985 till 2008. I retired from all outside jobs 2010 just doing as much as my body can handle cuz I have had 5 surgeries since 2012 last one 2022. they say getting old is not for sissies. You have a wonderful rest of your week maybe will meet again sometime time. May the light of the Lord be with you and all yours, peace be with you now and forever amen
Dear Trevor, deep love from a grandmother in New Zealand. I grew up in an unsafe household, I would freeze like an animal does, until I was in my forties. It was quite often a mental freezing, people usually didn’t notice. I love your book. Sending big hugs. You are marvellous 🤗💙🌺💐🇳🇿
Trevor has exceptional analytical skills and articulates his well thought out conclusions in a way nobody else does. He provides a unique perspective and has great story telling skills! I enjoyed this podcast and his book.
Wow, this is as an incredibly deep conversation and this in public. This is a kind of conversation between two emotionally very mature and self-aware men that I wish I had in my life. I think the reason why people feel like they don’t belong mainly because many people don’t allow to explore such depths and open themselves up to such dimensions of human consciousness. Such a pity but at the same time seeing two successful men of a global importance and their a ability to have such a level of genuine, raw and authentic conversation gives me a hope that things will change at least for some percentage of the population and it has already started happening.
One of the things I love about Trevor is that he is relatable, and it doesn't even feel like he is trying (unlike most famous people). Thank you to Steve for having him on your show. 🇿🇦 We 🇿🇦 Are🇿🇦 Watching🇿🇦
We're here🇿🇦 our "Daywalker"😅 I love how Trevor is so open about men's relationship with intimacy/connection. Most girl dads are almost forced to, but everyone else seems stuck in cycles.
Trevor is such an introspective, intellectual person. I have never been into celebrity culture or had a celebrity crush, BUT, I pray that I get to meet/have a discussion with Trevor Noah in this lifetime. Not a lot of people impress me with words like he does. And he is funny.
With too many young men struggling to find real role models Steven and Trevor are the real deal. I would love for these two and a few other real men host a talk that addresses issues of connection and what being a man means today. Great podcast Steven.
This entire interview was a joy to listen to. Thank you both, and everyone else behind the scenes, for making this happen! I am profoundly better for listening to this conversation, and have much to think about in my own world. I hope everyone has a lovely day and a joy-filled life. 💛
25:39 I started sobbing because I know exactly what he’s talking about. My friends also think that I have like a weird sixth sense. It’s a gift, but how one gets it, is heartbreaking.
This was one of the best conversation I've ever listened to. One of the best DOAC episodes, one of the best Trevor Noah interviews. So much to take away and ponder. Thank you Steven, for bringing out the best in your guest. This was magic, truly.
His thoughts on the empathetic and predictive capabilities of those who have witnessed domestic abuse are incredibly accurate. I have always had a keen sense of peoples intentions and nature, it has led me to nurture truly amazing friendships and relationships, but it can be exhausting. Once you've learnt to recognise when someone is wearing a mask, you realise that most people are doing just that. I find genuine connection and trust incredibly hard to come by as a result.

This was like being a fly on the wall listening in on the conversation between two interesting people who were open to listening to each other and sharing parts of themselves. Great episode! Thanks for sharing!
It's Trevor Noah 😁😁😁😁 man I miss seeing him on the daily show he's so insightful explain stuff and talks in a way that everyone can understand. His mother is a genuine blessing from the Lord one of a kind
The "Spidey senses" segment resonated with me. The way my dad moved, opened the gate outside, doors I'l knew whether it's okay time or mom gets a beat down. I'm almost 40 and I still listen for danger, always on high alert. It fucking sucks.
Sorry to hear bro. I know your pain all too well. At work people laughed at me when I turned my desk to face the main entrance. I don't trust anyone to the point that I have to have my eyes on an entrance I notice every movement and sound. There is no escaping it. . I'm approaching 40 as well and still can't shake the abuse and trauma from my dad. I wish he was still alive at times because I still wonder why he was like that. I do have the ability to know when something terrible is about to happen though. I try to find the positive aspects but I can't fully relax or let my guard down
I miss him so much on the Daily Show. He was such a comfort during Covid lockdown. All his experiences have given him such an empathetic outlook that is rare in our times. Men of my generation (north of 60) came of age in a time where talking about feelings was seen as weak. It is wonderful to see two men jumping in the deep end of the pool of emotions.
This honest, probing, respectful conversation between two men capable of truly listening, reflecting & sharing authentically is such a gift to us all. Thank you Steven & Trevor - just beautiful.
Same here I was thinking about this one day and then the very next day this happens… I’m stunned. I’m still secretly thinking AI created this Because it can now Access my thoughts and it’s not real.
Bro the analogy of imagining if tomorrow was my last day was life changing! Subconsciously that’s what I would like to be working on! Thankful for the inspiration 💯
Yet another inspiring interview that sucked me right in, thank you! I really enjoyed Trevor's communication style and thought process. What really resonated with me in this moment was the part with people not really achieving things all on their own. I've beaten myself up over and over again for not pulling through with things I start and underachieving in many areas of my life. On the other hand I'm still trying to achieve things though it's slow and exhausting, despite being alone and with no people to turn to most of the time. This gives me hope and a new sense of drive to try and connect with people, though it's scary and won't come easily to me. Desperately trying to make it on my own and find methods of being my own safety net hasn't been that fruitful and I hadn't completely realised that before.
16 days of activism will start soon and this conversation will become important for so many new reasons. Thank you Trevor for sharing your story, which is uniquely yours but all of ours as well.
Great to hear someone else who doesn't ascribe to that sentiment either "you have to have the rain to appreciate the sunshine", you have to have the bad to appreciate the good", "what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger" etc etc. Omg how uplifting and refreshing it is to hear two brothers speak so eloquently on such profound topics!
Steven's dad is Nigerian. Noah just has one parent from the other end of the continent (South Africa). Also, what does your nationality have to do with the love of Noah?
1:19:43 listening to this part on the day we just lost a young famous man, doing drugs and drinking alcohol by himself in his hotel room…💔 so true, so sad.
Trevor, I'm so sorry to hear about your struggles with depression and ADHD. It's great that you're sharing your story and helping others understand these conditions. I'm glad you found the help you needed. Your journey is a testament to resilience.
Makes totally sense what Trevor Noah is talking about, with knowing when to leave a party before all hell breaks lose. And you have to unlearn certain new things like breathing, wiggling your toes. Knowing it’s not your responsibility to undo the situation
I overcame a clinical depression 7 years ago and since then have saved many lives of people who were on the edge. It's a super important topic to get a solid grasp on.
@@robertholland7558 depression is very much curable for sure. I've overcome it and I've helped many of my clients overcome it. If someone tells you it's not possible to overcome it, they are lying to you. 100% guaranteed.
It's kind of sad how much of a conservative i am but yet still adore Trevor, his book born a crime is at the top of my all-time favourites. Oh well, might as well enjoy the pod!
Unpopular opinion: some people aren't meant to belong anywhere or with anyone else, and that's a wonderful thing. ☆ We are meant to belong to ourselves first and foremost, and it's trying to find that place/person in which we fit BEFORE feeling that sense of belonging that results in us feeling isolated to start with. We can feel it already, and then it can grow even stronger when we recognize those who resonate - but it begins with us. It has to, especially for those who are fundamentally divergent as people. We aren't meant to fit the molds; we won't, and we suffer most when we try. We belong to nothing, to no one, to nowhere - thus, we belong everywhere and with anyone. It's quite beautiful, actually. Anywhere we are is precisely where we belong. Wherever, with whoever, but most of all? To ourselves, with ourselves. We are our own compass; what's within us individually is our north star. The individual may become universal in a conscious sense. There is beauty and liberation in this if we choose to see and embrace it. It's all our choice; we get to choose. It isn't about finding our place - it's about creating it and being it. ♡ Thank you for making this video! ☆
I love Trevor Noah. he's the only 'The Daily Show' host I know and as far as I'm concerned, he's the best. big fan. what a profound chat. it's really made me think
I would love to meet Trevor and just chat with him about life and different topics. He is such an inspiration how one can evolve and grow as a human. Also big thanks to Steve ❤
Such an AMAZING interview and podcast! There was so much depth, it was informative, connection on a profound level. Feeling hopeful. So much to think about. Trevor and Steven, thank you! This is truly a gift (and a curse). Wish the conversation kept going. Just became a member here. Again, THANK YOU! Trevor, just got your book Born a Crime. Looking forward to reading it. 🙏
This interview made me realize how universal loneliness is. I’m a 33 year old mom who doesn’t know what country I feel I belong in, wishing I had a close friend circle. It feels impossible to make friends at this age and in the world where we don’t talk in person anymore because everyone is just “friends” online, meetings are all online, no one comes to my work office anymore. It’s just all very lonely.
I lived the same life, 30y old. Managed to get friends finally, and honestly it only came when I managed to be content with myself. Loneliness feels car less difficult when one meet his inner world. Activate imagination is a good starting point, should you seek for internal answers. Bless you ❤
Such a great day to hear Trevor, I want to thank him for coming to your podcast. And you become a family for me man... I mean, all your work is like my parents I've never had, friends I missed sometimes, so many advices of how to experience our life. I wish you all the best 👍💯👍💯👍💯👍💯 you are doing a huge job for the people, thanks a lot!!!!! Words aren't enough, this people are precious and to hear them through internet it's more than gold, man, I mean it👍👍👍👍👍
Yes... As a young man I will agree that purposelessness is a very real thing. Even when you are furnished with academic qualifications, work experience and life experience... Society has changed so much that we struggle not only to find where we fit, but in finding the 'whos' around whom we fit.
I’ve got a favour to ask! If you enjoy this, please double check that you’ve liked the video and subscribed to the channel! Thats a small way you can help us carry on doing this ❤️🙏🏾 really appreciate you!
sure, I love this channel all the way from Nairobi Kenya, Africa

Absolutely
Hear hear!
Dude! He's so good!
Steve you should work as a therapist.. With your listening skills and empathy.. You already are one. And a top one too👏🏻👏🏻😍
Trevor, Abel was my car mechanic at the time you lived there, I lived around the corner in Orange Grove. I read your book for the first time and you won’t believe my shock and surprise when I got to the part where your mom met Abel and everything became so familiar!! I couldn’t believe that I’d been going to your house regularly to get my car serviced and fixed. All sorts of mixed feelings for a man who I thought was quite lovely and a great mechanic. I was quite outraged! I am just so happy your life turned out so well and that your mom is safe! ❤ You’re a wonderful human. And you Steve ❤️
Steve has had many scientists and medical professionals on the show over the years, including psychologists, and yet Noah has given some of the most profound thoughts on life and human development. I will be listening to this episode again.
sameeeeeee
Agreed! Trevor's amazing at conveying his insights and knowledge in a way that's both simple and profound. Steven did a fantastic job interviewing and hosting Trevor, staying engaged and present the whole time ♥
This was the interview I have been secretly hoping would happen! Because most DOAC interviews are so long, I typically take a few days, listening in 30 min increments. Today, I sat down in front of my laptop, full-screen view and watched from beginning to end, with absolutely no regrets. I am always blown away by Trevor's ability to articulate emotions, complex thoughts and nuanced contextualities. But Steven, having you listen, respond and ask questions only elevated this conversation to everything I never knew I wanted to hear from both of you. My 3 big takeaways: 1. Growing up in abusive homes can make many hypersensitive to those around them and conflict-averse (you don't have to protect everyone). 2. No one who does anything BIG does it alone! (My mentor always says: if you want to go fast, do it alone. If you want to go far, Squad Up!) 3. Make friends a priority. You will never regret it. Steven, you said the bigger the subscribers get, the bigger the guests get. You didn't lie! So glad to be one of your subscribers. One of the best interviews ever! (and that includes the ones with Mo Gadet and Gabor Mate)
Same. Watched the whole thing in one sitting! Amazing.

Ignoring emotional health is truly an ultimate curse. I recommend reading “Health and Beauty Mastery” by Julian Bannet, that book is a real eye opener! I completely changed my habits.
I got it, truly a good book
I heard about that
Fake
I've read Trevor's book. My heart broke, then soared, so many times. I cried. I laughed out loud. My husband thought I was going nuts, and kept asking me if I was okay.
Trevor, you are a treasure. Hugs, darling, stay strong. 💫
Same here and because of that my wife read it too and felt the same, the book is amazing
Which one??

You people are easily amused and manipulated
@@Andrej89NS why does it bother you?
I could listen to Trevor all day. So much life and wisdom in his soul. We are fortunate that he shares himself with us.
Me too😀
One of the most powerful conversations on so many levels. Personal, psychoanalytical, social, political, where to end. In a tone of voice that is absolutely brilliant to listen to and be able to absorb, and feel the emotions without being overwhelmed. Thank you for this!!! Respect in every word and sharing!
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, Steve_porassss I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac.
He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this
Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Is he on instagram?
Yes he is Steve_porassss
Steven, I'm a 54-year-old black woman from very very poor beginnings. What I wish for you to read is (thank you) for every video I've had a chance to watch, listen to, and learn from...
I'm still in a state of a humble life, but you and your staff have given this basic human a look into the other side of thinking. Which is always an eye opener.
Thank you and your Staff😊

Trevor is such an eloquent speaker with such a strong grip on human psychology and philosophy. Never seen this side of him! Thoroughly enjoyed this convo
Thank you, Steven and your staff
As a South African, I really appreciate how Trevor represents our country and its nuances to the world. We're such a complex people with dynamics that are intrinsically understood by us who live our reality daily..but he articulates us so succinctly through his own story too. Its little understood how blessed a country and people we are in RSA to coexist as peacefully as possible with every race, religion, culture, languages etc today given the gruesomeness of our past..the consequences of which we're still grappling with today. Nkosi sikelela iAfrika nyan🙏🏽
I lived in SA for 15 years. A real education. Knew some truly amazing people there. But co existing in the blessedness you describe? The men can’t co exist with the women… rape… murder… the crime levels are off the scale!
To me, he is. He is as well a top bloke. This interview is, for me, very interesting as per his perspectives and insights due to his life experience. No need to force yourself to like him. It's maybe not interesting for you. You be you. I'll be me.
The last stuff i've heared about ZA is that people cut the powerlines, because they know then the energy company will cut the power, because there are energy problems. Any person from ZA that i talk with tells the same story... "get out if you can". People cant even run a foodstore, because the coolers cant run without power, so you cant really store anything like milk producs or fresh fish/chicken.
@@DreaMeRHoLicWondering where these people live in SA? I am from there and yes, this SOMEtimes happens in parts of SA…but it’s not a consistent standard…so? Not sure where these people live that spoke to you…pls share?
@@DreaMeRHoLicwe are not going anywhere. Every country has its problems and some of us are happy to live through the good and the bad.
Power problems are being restored and the government is investing in renewable energy.
I think you are meeting a lot of disgruntled SA expats.
This episode feels like a conversation between two friends. Sharing experiences and highlighting parts of one another’s lives that impacted them most. Amazing chemistry between the two of you. Love this ❤
You took the words off my mind!! Well said ❤️
Such a beautiful dance ❤
It was a pleasure watching the two of them have heart to heart conversation. ❤
The depth of thinking and mindset of Trevor is phenomenal. One of my fave episodes and I'm only half way so far 👌🏾
My two favourite people on the planet. Two men who are compassionate, kind, curious, committed to learning and self growth; developing self insights and valuing vulnerability as one of our greatest strengths. May the two of you continue to learn and grow and share the journey with the rest of us. The shared experience... your theme park experience was a great example of valuing people as opposed to things and activities.
This was incredibly healing and heartwarming to watch, especially for someone who grew up in a toxic, patriarchal community where showing emotions and vulnerability was seen as a weakness.
HOLY SHIT this is refreshing: human, vulnerable, learning; it's not easy, it's human

He is waving the Motherland, Africa flag.😀😃
Trevor Noah is incredibly articulate, such a profound conversation.
Born a crime is the best book i have ever read, it feels like you are walking with Trevor through his journey. I laughed, i cried, i mulled over the very meaning of life. What an amazing human being.
This episode resonated with me so much, because I recently shared with my therapist that the lack of friendship was being to affect me, especially working in a high stress and negative environment. I’m working on building new and fulfilling relationships.
The things I love the most about Trevor Noah is his depth and delivery combined with his authenticity and humor. I was truly sad when he left the Daily Show, but excited to tune in to his podcast.!! 🎉 Looking forward to taking in some wisdom from “What Now”.
Steven, I can say this now, because I haven’t heard Trevor Noah’s podcast yet, BUT… I absolutely LOVE Diary of A CEO!! You are an excellent interviewer/facilitator. Please keep it coming!
From the dawn of public discourse to now, no conversation has been this phenomenal for the ADHD population. This is the ultimate interview for ADHD individuals in history.
Thank you, Steven.
Yes yes and yes!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
ADHD is caused by diet
Knowing Trevor has ADHD brought tears to my eyes
Struck by so many levels of similarity between the host and the guest! 😊💪
That is exactly 💯 what I was thinking!
Interesting... I noticed the differences. Trevor is a 'people' guy and Steven feels most himself when he's alone. Both are deep thinkers and emotionally expressive tho.
Agreed❤
Two dudes that are *excellent* at asking and answering questions. So articulate!
Me too
I am South African living in Sweden. I grew up under apartheid in South Africa. It is like hearing my own story . Because I know, I am sorry that you had to go through all you are going through. Thank you for sharing so honestly🙏🏻.
BLACK LIVES MATTER
Do you ever feel like the government hides a lot about what’s really in our food? It’s seriously messed up when you start to look into it. I’ve been reading this book called The 23 Former Doctor Truths by Lauren Clark, and it breaks down so much of what we’re not being told.
I'm also in the "I don't feel like I belong anywhere" camp and it was interesting to see Trevor's mind break a little bit at the very concept of the answer being 'nowhere' or 'alone'.
Mzansi let's gather here ❤❤ Much love for Our brother Trevor Noah
He is a incredible person for sure. Great interview!!! Andre
Sikhona!

Trevor noah is racist.
This pos only get famous because he talks about trump everyday.
I loved this interview! The part where Trevor talks about growing up in an unsafe household, really spoke to me. Decades later, it still struggle with how that experience has shaped me, or continues to shape me.
5:07 When he said.. I'm conscious of choosing my friends because I think that's me actively choosing the people who are going to be shaping me as I live my life. Yup same here 😊 I've been doing this because my energy is precious to me need to share it with meaningful individuals in my life only. ❤
how simplistically insightful 😊
💯 this for me too
Choosing fake news media?
I have been wondering for so long what the backstory was for Trevor that was not articulated in his written work. It was a perpetual nagging feeling of incompleteness. Yes, he has been abundantly transparent and self revelatory, but there always seemed like there was another story underneath his storytelling. This interview was it-- and Steve your talent for assisted narrative telling is becoming legendary. Kudos.
Trevor is such a remarkable human being who has had the world at his feet yet never allowed the supplication of celebrity bring him hubristically to his knees. Having been exposed to such a breadth of humanity and still able to see a throughput of compassionate listening and wisdom is truly a gift from God. I have never forgotten the interview Trevor did with Kellyanne Conway, who is clearly a deeply troubled human being. Yet, he was able to give her humanity and shame her behavior. I sat back thunderstruck. Only a spirit who has experienced nooks and crannies of human existence that are hidden from most people would have been able to head the conversation away from the typical traps that someone like Kellyanne creates. She perverts language for a living, Trevor elevates language for a living and it was a masterful moment of television.
Trevor impresses me as someone who is able to sit with grief and see its beauty and pathos at the same time which is ultimately the gift of all comedians. They make us laugh to keep our jovial tears from transforming to weeping. I wonder how he heals-- at a point when I was near death, his show and humor created enough dopamine for me to keep going, heal my brain, soothe my soul. How does he restore his soul? At a biochemical level, who or what gives him the dopamine and serotonin he rightfully deserves? Metaphysically, where will all of this soul work take him and his audience? He has already accomplished so much, I shudder in anticipation of the amazing places he will go.
I genuinely pray that Trevor is able to rise to a level of his human experience that transcends his wildest dreams of happiness. He deserves it-- he has given so much to us through his transparency, authenticity and vulnerability. God speed on your journey, Trevor. May the road always rise up to meet you...
You have a gift with words-I hope that Trevor reads this!
Paragraphs sis.
Wow!
Wow, are you a writer? this was amazing to read, Trevor must read this, it seems it comes from a very genuine place.
I listened, I listened more. I cried, I listened more. I felt even more than your words, I felt the two of you listening, speaking and hearing and sharing….fully. I thank you for what can never be quantified, total transparency of your lived experience (lived by more of us than not). Thank the you both and Trevor, the greatest comedians are what you just expressed. The truth in its most human way. I thank you for myself, but in particular, for my son🧐☺️🔥❤
So good to hear Trevor acknowledge that nobody gets success all by themselves; they have people behind them to support them.
It's strange but it is comforting to know that there are more people like me with hypersensitivity. He is literally describing me.
Same I feel so seen and I appreciate Trevor for this reason, he explained it very well
Me too
He didnt feel any sensitivity when he joke abt trump with fake news fact.
@@Ian-hn8tygo away trumpist
This is high up on the list of my favourite episodes. I appreciate Trevor’s honesty especially about the last question about hitting the button. I have now saved this to a playlist because I'll absolutely watch again
The way I see it, too. Had stop everything to watch to the end. 👍
Another South African here. Lovely conversation guys! Trevor is an exceptionally intelligent and sensitive person. Thoroughly enjoyed seeing you guys connect.
Hi Steven. This is an amazing interview. I love how you asked the questions and the responses. Your interviewing skills and listening capability are impressive. Trevor always ensures (he contextualizes) and provides nuance in his responses. This interview is therapeutic; the insight, the vulnerability, and the consciousness are something we do not see often. There is a lot to unpack and learn from this interview. Great work.
As someone who grew up in a abusive home, i definitely needed to hear this! Thank you Steven & Thank you Trevor!🤎
It's very hard to face the abuse we are subjected to as children. We want to believe we came from loving, functional families. But then we get old enough to see reality. It takes years to unpack and I applaud anyone having the courage to do so. I knew I was on my own by the age of 4. I knew that education was my ticket out. Many of us in the arts were in similar situations. Our talents provided an escape from the abuse. Hypervigilance keeps us safe, too. We over-perform. It feels great to instead relax, let other people carry the ball, and allow others to carry responsibilities. Many of us were forced into the parenting role as children in order to keep things safe. Anger sets us free. When we really work through the anger about what happened then we can start to look at things realistically. We don't have to forgive, but we can begin to heal when we reach radical acceptance. You are right about women finding purpose in life. It doesn't have to be complicated. Learn to enjoy life. Relax and value being alive. Then do what you can to help others enjoy life too. That is purpose. Toxic male culture punishes vulnerability as you said. There is also this expectation that men should be "special." That is quite narcissistic. We can all just "be" and our inherent value is there. We don't have to prove we have value. I am moved listening to this video and wish both of you all the best.
@@cellosong thank you so much for your thoughts, feelings about your childhood experience. We all grow up with many different emotions coursing through us not realizing what they mean or even how to process them. I felt that feeling that I had a pretty good normal childhood, Until I became an adult, then I realized how really frigging wild our home life was. How when you are small and have 6 other siblings, but You are the youngest one , that your oldest sister, first born is 17yr 5 months older than you and all the others ( 3 girls 4 boys. In all) are maybe 1.5 - 3.5 years apart . For me it was like having two families in one. Cuz my sister was graduating from high school when I was born, see where I’m coming from . She was setting off soon for college. My oldest brother soon left for the Navy going over seas and I am a small baby, I didn’t get to know them until I was much older. That sister finished college and moved to Hawaii !! That brother stayed over seas for many years, married and lived near Japan . so I really was only around The others. As they came and went. For the most part the last 2 brothers the older, one
Got drafted into the Vietnam war . So it was then just the last brother and me 3.5 years apart. But he and I are the closest of all. It wasn’t until I was really close to maybe 45 or 50 did I finally get to know my oldest Sis. And as far as forgiveness, I get ya, I had to go through Addiction get Sober at 32 and understand forgiveness was not for THEM It was for ME, when I practice forgiveness I am able to see others in a whole different light 💡And now at Almost 69 yrs old and on my 3rd and Last husband of 36 years together, I am able to help others when I can, step out and live a peaceful productive life. Funny I wanted to listen to this episode cuz I have lived with ADHD my whole life and it has driven me down some crazy paths in life. From going to Nursing school to then leaving that occupation to working in the oil fields for 5 yrs then having a daughter. Changing occupation a last time, working in the plant nursery industry from 1985 till 2008. I retired from all outside jobs 2010 just doing as much as my body can handle cuz I have had 5 surgeries since 2012 last one 2022. they say getting old is not for sissies. You have a wonderful rest of your week maybe will meet again sometime time. May the light of the Lord be with you and all yours, peace be with you now and forever amen
Full circle. Two of my favorite human beings on planet earth.
Same
Exactly 💯
What do you mean by "full circle"? I think it must have a meaning I'm not aware of.
Me too 😀
True 🙌 so happy!
Dear Trevor, deep love from a grandmother in New Zealand. I grew up in an unsafe household, I would freeze like an animal does, until I was in my forties. It was quite often a mental freezing, people usually didn’t notice. I love your book. Sending big hugs. You are marvellous 🤗💙🌺💐🇳🇿
Trevor has exceptional analytical skills and articulates his well thought out conclusions in a way nobody else does. He provides a unique perspective and has great story telling skills! I enjoyed this podcast and his book.
trevor noah doing serious deep talks instead of comedy is a refreshing shift.
When did he ever do comedy?
""comedy"
@@Chag69420 He was never funny
@@bobjones8632 stop hating Trevor dude..he doesn't have a show now ..Americans pls stop hating him ..he is human bro 😢❤
He was never a comedian
Wow, this is as an incredibly deep conversation and this in public. This is a kind of conversation between two emotionally very mature and self-aware men that I wish I had in my life. I think the reason why people feel like they don’t belong mainly because many people don’t allow to explore such depths and open themselves up to such dimensions of human consciousness. Such a pity but at the same time seeing two successful men of a global importance and their a ability to have such a level of genuine, raw and authentic conversation gives me a hope that things will change at least for some percentage of the population and it has already started happening.
Where are available men like this in the real world?? Emotional maturity in men is sooo rare ugh but these two men have it.
@@fs5775 only a very small percentage of the entire male population has it so it is like winning a lottery.
So appreciate Trevor's honestly. Yes as a therapist here I appreciate his responsibility in communication .
One of the things I love about Trevor is that he is relatable, and it doesn't even feel like he is trying (unlike most famous people).
Thank you to Steve for having him on your show.
🇿🇦 We 🇿🇦 Are🇿🇦 Watching🇿🇦
We're here🇿🇦 our "Daywalker"😅 I love how Trevor is so open about men's relationship with intimacy/connection. Most girl dads are almost forced to, but everyone else seems stuck in cycles.
I can listen to Trevor Noah share his insights about everything forever.
I can't listen to that clown for more than 5 minutes.
The way Trevor describes his ADHD depressions are probably the first time I've heard anyone experiencing them like I do.
Trevor is such an introspective, intellectual person. I have never been into celebrity culture or had a celebrity crush, BUT, I pray that I get to meet/have a discussion with Trevor Noah in this lifetime. Not a lot of people impress me with words like he does. And he is funny.
With too many young men struggling to find real role models Steven and Trevor are the real deal. I would love for these two and a few other real men host a talk that addresses issues of connection and what being a man means today. Great podcast Steven.
Trevor, you are the real deal. You are a gift to this world being able to be so aware.💕🙏💕
This entire interview was a joy to listen to. Thank you both, and everyone else behind the scenes, for making this happen! I am profoundly better for listening to this conversation, and have much to think about in my own world. I hope everyone has a lovely day and a joy-filled life. 💛
25:39 I started sobbing because I know exactly what he’s talking about. My friends also think that I have like a weird sixth sense. It’s a gift, but how one gets it, is heartbreaking.
It’s like being hyper vigilant and it can be exhausting.
True that… it’s a super power but so exhausting..
Ditto😊
I get it. I understand
This was one of the best conversation I've ever listened to. One of the best DOAC episodes, one of the best Trevor Noah interviews. So much to take away and ponder. Thank you Steven, for bringing out the best in your guest. This was magic, truly.
His thoughts on the empathetic and predictive capabilities of those who have witnessed domestic abuse are incredibly accurate. I have always had a keen sense of peoples intentions and nature, it has led me to nurture truly amazing friendships and relationships, but it can be exhausting. Once you've learnt to recognise when someone is wearing a mask, you realise that most people are doing just that. I find genuine connection and trust incredibly hard to come by as a result.

Where is the part where trump saved his career
Was that necessary?
Ah Trevor. A man with a great relationship with his mother is something to behold. We are so proud of you Mzala 🇿🇦 And thank you Steven!
“It’s not my job to protect everybody.” Trevor is so real for that!
This was like being a fly on the wall listening in on the conversation between two interesting people who were open to listening to each other and sharing parts of themselves. Great episode! Thanks for sharing!
These two need to start a mental health podcast for men. I just think they are both so amazing! Two Black men speaking so deeply is just refreshing! 🤎
I love Trevor! As a fellow South African, he is a gem! Treasure him forever.
It's Trevor Noah 😁😁😁😁 man I miss seeing him on the daily show he's so insightful explain stuff and talks in a way that everyone can understand.
His mother is a genuine blessing from the Lord one of a kind
The "Spidey senses" segment resonated with me. The way my dad moved, opened the gate outside, doors I'l knew whether it's okay time or mom gets a beat down. I'm almost 40 and I still listen for danger, always on high alert. It fucking sucks.
Sorry to hear bro. I know your pain all too well. At work people laughed at me when I turned my desk to face the main entrance. I don't trust anyone to the point that I have to have my eyes on an entrance I notice every movement and sound. There is no escaping it. . I'm approaching 40 as well and still can't shake the abuse and trauma from my dad. I wish he was still alive at times because I still wonder why he was like that. I do have the ability to know when something terrible is about to happen though. I try to find the positive aspects but I can't fully relax or let my guard down
I miss him so much on the Daily Show. He was such a comfort during Covid lockdown. All his experiences have given him such an empathetic outlook that is rare in our times. Men of my generation (north of 60) came of age in a time where talking about feelings was seen as weak. It is wonderful to see two men jumping in the deep end of the pool of emotions.
This honest, probing, respectful conversation between two men capable of truly listening, reflecting & sharing authentically is such a gift to us all. Thank you Steven & Trevor - just beautiful.
Trevor and Steven in one space … I’ve always wanted to see this.
A very special interview 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
So excited to watch this episode🤭😁 my 2 favourite people in one conversation!
SAME ❤
Yes!!
Exactly what I was going to write!
Me too 😀
I have wanted you to do this particular podcast for a long, long time. Thank you!
i never knew i wanted it, but how wonderful to have them together 💕
Same here I was thinking about this one day and then the very next day this happens… I’m stunned. I’m still secretly thinking AI created this Because it can now Access my thoughts and it’s not real.
Bro the analogy of imagining if tomorrow was my last day was life changing! Subconsciously that’s what I would like to be working on! Thankful for the inspiration 💯
Yet another inspiring interview that sucked me right in, thank you! I really enjoyed Trevor's communication style and thought process. What really resonated with me in this moment was the part with people not really achieving things all on their own. I've beaten myself up over and over again for not pulling through with things I start and underachieving in many areas of my life. On the other hand I'm still trying to achieve things though it's slow and exhausting, despite being alone and with no people to turn to most of the time. This gives me hope and a new sense of drive to try and connect with people, though it's scary and won't come easily to me. Desperately trying to make it on my own and find methods of being my own safety net hasn't been that fruitful and I hadn't completely realised that before.
16 days of activism will start soon and this conversation will become important for so many new reasons. Thank you Trevor for sharing your story, which is uniquely yours but all of ours as well.
Hands down the best podcast out there now. Really keep on crushing it man!
I always stop whatever I am doing and watch immediately whenever these things drop. Podcast crack!
Great to hear someone else who doesn't ascribe to that sentiment either "you have to have the rain to appreciate the sunshine", you have to have the bad to appreciate the good", "what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger" etc etc. Omg how uplifting and refreshing it is to hear two brothers speak so eloquently on such profound topics!
This is like reading a very good book. I couldn't stop listening and didn't want it to end. Thank you both!
As a Nigerian, I love love love Trevor!!
Steven's dad is Nigerian. Noah just has one parent from the other end of the continent (South Africa). Also, what does your nationality have to do with the love of Noah?
Trevor is hilarious when he is imitating other people. Great interview from two self-aware people.
he does accents soooo well
Feels like two brothers connecting, salute from kenya.
Ooo I've been wondering when Trevor was coming on this show. Two of the best conversationalists on the planet. Can't wait 🇿🇦
You are not alone 😀
I resonate with the host....alone for me is heaven.....proud of u brother trevor noah all the way from Mzansi❤🇿🇦
1:19:43 listening to this part on the day we just lost a young famous man, doing drugs and drinking alcohol by himself in his hotel room…💔 so true, so sad.
Exactly what I was thinking as I listened to this part. 😢 RIP Liam
Me too. So sad that this phenomenon is all too common, as Trevor mentioned. RIP Liam.
The comment I was looking for. He was on this podcast a few years ago too. RIP Liam
Trevor, I'm so sorry to hear about your struggles with depression and ADHD. It's great that you're sharing your story and helping others understand these conditions. I'm glad you found the help you needed. Your journey is a testament to resilience.
Makes totally sense what Trevor Noah is talking about, with knowing when to leave a party before all hell breaks lose. And you have to unlearn certain new things like breathing, wiggling your toes. Knowing it’s not your responsibility to undo the situation
I overcame a clinical depression 7 years ago and since then have saved many lives of people who were on the edge. It's a super important topic to get a solid grasp on.
One does not “overcome” depression.

@@robertholland7558 depression is very much curable for sure. I've overcome it and I've helped many of my clients overcome it. If someone tells you it's not possible to overcome it, they are lying to you. 100% guaranteed.
This was really good. I did not know how much I needed this conversation with these two men. My two favorite podcasts in one . Awesome
It's kind of sad how much of a conservative i am but yet still adore Trevor, his book born a crime is at the top of my all-time favourites. Oh well, might as well enjoy the pod!
I listened to the audio version. It’s narrated by him and is amazing in his voice. ❤
Thank you for having such an open mind! We don't see much of that these days, unfortunately.
I have always enjoyed Trevor when he isn't displaying TDS. I used to think he's too articulate to engage in such lowbrow humor.
It isn't "sad." Your political views should never get in the way of seeing someone's humanity. Continue to compartmentalize, and life will be sweet! 😁
Unpopular opinion: some people aren't meant to belong anywhere or with anyone else, and that's a wonderful thing. ☆
We are meant to belong to ourselves first and foremost, and it's trying to find that place/person in which we fit BEFORE feeling that sense of belonging that results in us feeling isolated to start with. We can feel it already, and then it can grow even stronger when we recognize those who resonate - but it begins with us. It has to, especially for those who are fundamentally divergent as people. We aren't meant to fit the molds; we won't, and we suffer most when we try.
We belong to nothing, to no one, to nowhere - thus, we belong everywhere and with anyone. It's quite beautiful, actually. Anywhere we are is precisely where we belong. Wherever, with whoever, but most of all?
To ourselves, with ourselves.
We are our own compass; what's within us individually is our north star. The individual may become universal in a conscious sense.
There is beauty and liberation in this if we choose to see and embrace it. It's all our choice; we get to choose.
It isn't about finding our place - it's about creating it and being it. ♡
Thank you for making this video! ☆
One of my absolute favourite interviews on Diary of A CEO. I love, respect and honour you both so very much ❤️
I love Trevor Noah. he's the only 'The Daily Show' host I know and as far as I'm concerned, he's the best. big fan. what a profound chat. it's really made me think
I would love to meet Trevor and just chat with him about life and different topics. He is such an inspiration how one can evolve and grow as a human. Also big thanks to Steve ❤
Such an AMAZING interview and podcast! There was so much depth, it was informative, connection on a profound level. Feeling hopeful. So much to think about. Trevor and Steven, thank you! This is truly a gift (and a curse). Wish the conversation kept going. Just became a member here. Again, THANK YOU! Trevor, just got your book Born a Crime. Looking forward to reading it. 🙏
In listening to your story, Trevor, I understand myself better. Thank you.
Fantastic interview. The ADHD/ADD discussion was an eye-opener personally. Oh, and aweh Mr Noah, fellow South-African from CT here 😊
This interview made me realize how universal loneliness is. I’m a 33 year old mom who doesn’t know what country I feel I belong in, wishing I had a close friend circle. It feels impossible to make friends at this age and in the world where we don’t talk in person anymore because everyone is just “friends” online, meetings are all online, no one comes to my work office anymore. It’s just all very lonely.
I lived the same life, 30y old. Managed to get friends finally, and honestly it only came when I managed to be content with myself. Loneliness feels car less difficult when one meet his inner world. Activate imagination is a good starting point, should you seek for internal answers. Bless you ❤
Trevor is open , sensitive and so analitical but Steven is such and intelligent, empathic and respectful interviewer - or should I say therapist!
Such a great day to hear Trevor, I want to thank him for coming to your podcast. And you become a family for me man... I mean, all your work is like my parents I've never had, friends I missed sometimes, so many advices of how to experience our life. I wish you all the best 👍💯👍💯👍💯👍💯 you are doing a huge job for the people, thanks a lot!!!!! Words aren't enough, this people are precious and to hear them through internet it's more than gold, man, I mean it👍👍👍👍👍
The interview I have been waiting for🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yes!
Finally, welcome, Trevor
This is my first ever comment on this podcast.
Love from Ghana 🇬🇭 🇬🇭 🇬🇭
Absolutely the most enlightening of the many phenomenal podcasts on DOAC! Thank you both so very much!🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yes... As a young man I will agree that purposelessness is a very real thing. Even when you are furnished with academic qualifications, work experience and life experience... Society has changed so much that we struggle not only to find where we fit, but in finding the 'whos' around whom we fit.
What a beautiful episode. Trevor’s last words to Steven reflects so much of his wisdom. Would love to see those two do more together.
27:27 when he talks about being a child with an abused parent. How hypersensitive you are, i felt it
Later you become super empath
@@vv-cv6ud yes very compassionate and understanding
@@squekysane1483that's the positiv part of it... negative one, you'll be a people's pleaser
@@naobolliger9188 that’s true I’ve been both , I feel like you have to know what being both feels like so you can choose what you deserve
@@naobolliger9188Soo true
