This weeks podcast is slightly different - I wanted to be completely transparent with you guys and also give you insights into the business of podcasting… hope you enjoy! Hits subscribe for weekly episodes
Excellent, thanks for your honesty and sharing with us all. I am pushing my wife to start her podcast and move forward with it as a project so some if not all of your tips and recommendations help considerably. Once again thanks
Loved this episode! Thanks for the transparency! If happy to share, how many downloads is the show seeing these days? (Episode average). Helps put the financials in context.
I am a retired entrepreneur with 45 years of business success. You are quite the young man. Keep up the world class energy, enjoy every moment, and keep sharing the love.
I am 22, and starting up a business in Africa. I found this podcast on apple podcasts a few weeks ago. I instantly became hooked, listening everyday, everywhere, sometimes repeating an episode over and over. I started from the very first episode and I just now got to this current one. You are all i have been talking about lately but very few of my friends and family found your content as addictive and useful. Ive seen your podcast as a life manual honestly. But not for all. I feel like i know you and we are alike in so many ways, which i believe most of your audience feel. You have opened my eyes in ways i could not even explain. Thank you Steve. What a journey it has been for me! God bless you
Consistency is absolute key, being reliable, someone you can trust will turn up, exhausting but so true, before I found you I had another favorite content maker for years, who equally created life-changing impactful content but started posting more and more sporadically last year , and even though each episode was just as good as it always was, it felt like it was fizzling out and now when you talked about it I realised 'oh what happened' I had forgotten to see if there was new episodes for many months, there was indeed but I found I had stopped looking for it as there 'probably wouldnt be a new upload' You create a great beam of light in my life every week, thank you for all the hard work, it is fantastic!
You're right! My son didn't keep it to himself. He's 28 I am a rather mature mom and an avid listener. I find most of your podcasts amazing. I love, love them.❤❤
I have never missed a single podcast. I am a better person because of Steven's lifes work. Not to put you on a pedestal because I know you are human and fallible but I am in constant awe of your intellect, suave, authenticity and ironically, your simplicity. You have no idea how much of an impact you are to those of us that draw from your "diary of wisdom"
my entertainment is youtube, so im subsribed to a lot of channels and this one isnt the best one in the business category, its not even in the same category as any other channel... i feel like a fan boy lol but seriously im always impressed by this channel, the intellect, vibe, questions.. hats off to Steven
beautiful review. can sense the authenticity from reading this. I have his book and am always using snippets from it to help educate my daughters about some of the lessons learned.
Steven, watching you speak so eloquently on this podcast has made me more articulate. I have even adopted your rhythm and conciseness for my presentations at uni. Thank you for sharing these gems.
Steve, this is the best podcast that you have ever done. Thank you for your timely, accurate and highly credible commentary. Deeply appreciated Theodore in Southern California.
I started out this podcast 6 months ago and so far, this is one of the most challenging tasks I've ever done. It's growing weekly as we release every Mondays 08:00PM EAT, but the amount of work put in and sustaining it's consistency is super crazy! I'm definitely looking into building a team now!😊
As a specialist in mental health I would like to start a podcast interviewing people who have recovered and turned their life round. What do you think of this idea to help people who are suffering from mental health.
I am a late 20s female in the UK with NO money ie deep in unarranged overdraft, chronically ill, unemployed, living alone, no social support, no family,no friends, no savings, no help, on Universal Credit yet still in this situation, unable to pay bills, suffering extremely,in multiple debts, suicidal, have no financial literacy nor backup plan. I am not coping. What do I do?
Mental health is serious and people need to know that there is always hope and some people who do geniunely care. It might be a hard road but there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
I'm 16 and absolutely adore your podcasts and the valuable content you deliver. It was so interesting and inspiring to listen to your successful journey, full of consistency and persistence (+ the networking!). Thanks so much, Steven!
I appreciate your approach to teaching.. To my understanding this just proves how much we need an edge as investors because playing the market like everyone else just isn’t good enough, we just need to hold onto our hopes and wait to see how things turn out because market movements are almost always unpredictable. In my portfolio, I'm noticing more red than green.
People believe their currency has the worth it does because they have no other option. Even in a hyper-inflationary environment, individuals must continue to use their hyperinflationary currency since they likely have minimal access to other currencies or gold/silver coins.
You are right! I diversified my $400K portfolio across various market with the aid of an investment coach, I have been able to generate a little bit above 1.3m in net profit across high dividend yield stocks, ETF and bonds during this red season.
@@carmindaAntunes How can I reach out to this coach? because I'm seeking for a more effective investment approach How good is this person at portfolio diversification, particularly with regard to digital assets?
I would like to know how much of the success of your podcast is down to who you are already ? You are not exactly an unknown person. You are a successful businessman who has had a lot of attention brought in from your appearances on DD, so people who watch that will probably be attracted to viewing your podcasts.
You have an intuitive interfacing dynamic with your interviewees that is just phenomenal. You are the bar for me at this moment. I'm so grateful I found you 💛
This podcast is simply awesome... Stephen is a massive inspiration to me and you can tell he is a genuine person. The guests open up to him which just shows how much they trust him with there life stories. Thanks Stephen for this podcast, you deserve all the success you are getting, truly inspirational 👊
One of the major topics touched on in this episode is QUALITY! Some of the best corporations in the world with earnings over 20% or more consistently for a decade or longer have solid standards - and they stand by those standards without compromise. THIS type of razor sharp focus IS the future, and I’m always so amazed at how often organizations with such potential overlook this. As a graduate student of Human Resource Development, we are learning how genuine authenticity is what will make organizations successful, not necessarily focusing on HR Management. This is because, as this podcast mentions, people desire meaningful outputs for the work they’re doing. They want their work to matter and mean something beneficial for others. This entire podcast is spot on! This is an excellent example of creating value and meaning in the world. Thank you for highlighting such valuable information!
I love this podcast. I find the guests fascinating and the host inspiring. I'm especially moved by the honesty of that wonderful two sentence introduction that comes spontaneously out of you during your first shot at doing a podcast. I picture you, in the middle of the night with the blanket over your head asking people not to listen and share it with others. It resonated deeply with me. Thank you!
Thanks for the love man. I really appreciate this presentation and an opportunity to get a look at the inner workings of your world and mission. I'm a senior, who chooses not to become obsolete. Good ideas are timeless, but most important , they also belong to the people. Well done !! 😎👍
I stumbled across this video on accident as I am trying to learn how to create a podcast and blog regarding my passion - helping people overcome major life setbacks and building resiliency in a post-COVID world. I had never heard of your podcast or your channel - probably because I typically live under a rock. I admit, I expected this video to be click bait as I never really expected to make much money from either my blog or my podcast. But I clicked this video anyway in an afterthought out of curiosity and I am really, really glad I did. The stance that you take regarding authenticity and being intentional with your integrity is refreshing and precisely what I want for my blog/podcast. I've never been so inspired by a video I initially expected to be like all the other "get rich quick" videos. I doubt you will see this, considering this video is a year old. But if you do, know that you inspired one more person and gained one more to your list of subscribers. Not because of the title of your video, but because of the passion you have for what you do. Thank you for sharing!
I have been listening to the DOAC via Spotify for a month and I'm up to this episode. Great role model for all ages. I feel your wisdom spans a broad range of ages groups and refreshingly, you don't come across like most people I used to see in the corporate world i.e. suited and booted, talks in business jargon etc. Its makes you far more relatable for the everyday person who may not be self employed. I fully believe you have and will continue to inspire hundreds of thousands of people into starting a business or even to purse what it is that interests them in life in terms of a job/career path. Congrats.
Thank you Steve! This is priceless advice. 🙏❤ Getting into podcasting was something I used to think about occasionally as a 'what if' possibility...now listening to this, it actually feels more plausible. The place where you are coming from-producing high quality content that you like and that gives the best value to the listeners-is very inspiring!!
I've been here since your first episode, really glad to see you post regularly and pull up this kind of numbers. It is clear that your previous experience in the business world was key for you to be able to convince all these brands, congrats man you deserve it.
You are operating from a place of truth, sincerity and integrity and all of us should be so thankful. Because today, this is a rarity. I support this movement. Thank you for being a noble leader of it. Subscribed.
Just watched this video and wanted to thank Steven for putting this out here. I am a nobody and just created my own podcast. This is such valuable information. Finances aside, every other reason to podcast is every reason for me to continue doing it. Thanks for the points.
You can share the practical tips, Stephen, and people can apply them, but ultimately this podcast is outstanding and so successful because of you. Greatest interviewer of your generation. ✨🙏🏆 Thanks for the work you do, and all that you’ve given to people through your podcast.
This is SO valuable. Basically the most valuable thing you can do as a human being is to struggle to understand the truth of the world and use your struggle to help others.
1. be consistant - keep producing at least once a week 2. Grow your podcast through social media 3. Produce quality work, mantain higĥ standards 4. Staff and equipment 5. Cut middleman, go straight to the companies for sponsors 6. Learn about the topic you're covering 6. 4.
As a podcaster myself I agree that quality, consistency and passion must be present in order to succeed. The aim of a podcast to me is to give value to the audience, and when we fail that, no 4k shooting or famous guest will cut it, so, well done for deleting episodes that didn’t give that value. With respect, may I add that there is a difference between knocking on the door of a possible sponsor company as Mr Nobody, and being a Dragon’s Den business man who has high visibility and credibility. I shall keep watching your podcast!
I came in for Dr Tara Swart . It gave me some magic and it seems some doors have opened to me !! And Steven I am your fan from Dragons Den and your podcast is doing some great magic and helping me to come out of depression!! . Thank you.
Steven, there's a reason why this episode popped up on my TH-cam feed today! Just launched the first two episodes of my second podcast. Thank You for sharing this strategy! Loved it!
First thing I’ve done after watching this episode, I went on Spotify and listened the first episode. I’m starting now as a sole estate agent and I completely understand all your struggles and challenges. I took onboard things like delivering quality, consistency and perseverance ❤️
Depth, breath and learning opportunities are really important to me in terms of my engaging with every source of content I consume. The Quality here at Diary of a CEO, is certaintly 'quantity' for me. Thank you for what you (and your team) produce/deliver consistently with resilience. 👍
Hello Mr Bartlett, You mentioned people giving up 2 hours of time to listen to people they may not of heard of. I had heard of Russell Brand but never really liked him, but I was curious when I saw he was on your podcast. Because of you, really, I watched the conversation, and that changed my mind about him. He went through such a journey to get to the Russel Brand he is today, and he sure knows how to put amazing sentences together.
Thank you! The joy of TH-cam is even when I'm slow at getting to your older content, it still resonates. What a great episode for those of us just starting out.
The point about the impact resonated with me. A few years ago I had an urge to write a book. But I'm not a writer, so I just wrote a couple of short stories and published them online. And people read them and even liked them. But I knew nothing about those people, and had no way to get into conversation with them. That helped me realise that I didn't really want to write books, but I wanted to discuss certain topics with others, with people whom I don't know personally, but who might be interested in the same ideas. It's great that Steven managed to find the right tools to connect to the audience. We all benefit from it.
Steven - I came across your podcast about 2 months ago and I have quite literally watched all of your episodes. The amount of value it has brought to my life has been amazing, I love how natural the conversation is between you and your guest, the depth of content, the vulnerability, transparency and relatability! Thank you for your dedication in producing this content for us - I look forward to Monday :-)
I subscribed to your channel because you focus so exclusively on the guests and really listen to them. Of course, enjoying your commentary along the way. So many interviewers nowadays interrupt or try to redirect the conversation to themselves when the focus is on the interviewee and their knowledge! Your team has really found a way to capture an audience with the guests. It is really unique that you also are the interviewer and interviewee of yourself on other occasions. I also enjoy the structure of your podcasts and the fact that it is broken down with labels so I can jump around need be.
Thank you so much for this episode. As an up and coming podcaster myself , I was tearing up listening/ watching. Just knowing that my partner and I, are on the right path and you provided hope to what is possible. As long as we are consistent. Thank you. Cheers to success, impact and longevity.
Really loved watching this and learning from you too. I am a UK TH-camr but in the last year "for fun" started a podcast too and completely agree that actually the depth of value from a podcast is the one thing that most people will stop and talk to me/comment about. I love that I can use different media for different topics, but really understood that also that even the media types themselves give a unique experience to the viewer/listener. Thank you for sharing this and here's to even more success ahead!
Thank you for sharing all those nuggets Steven and team. Me being here proves podcasting/you tubing content lives forever - I was searching for info on reviving my podcast in 2023 and of course I am going to watch Steven Barrett's episode advice since Diary of the CEO is my daily walking buddy. Wishing you and your team every success. I'm inspired!
Your commitment to quality is what really resonates with me. You are happy to pull an episode, if you feel it’s just not right. This, together with consistency of production is what I find interesting. You know it will result in more effort and you have set yourself deadlines. This is something I struggle with as my deadlines are too tight, I try to keep my content about what has happened each week and my other socials then match up. Maybe more future planning. Thanks for taking the time to open up these questions for ourselves. Great podcast and I now listen every week on the road.
The way you cut through the noise of TH-cam Steve and have the intuition to ask guests the questions most of us want answering but many wouldn’t dare to ask, the production quality, witty humour, even the set is top tier. My current favourite go to channel that will take some beating.. thank you….again 🍾
I love your podcast and appreciate the standards you set so greatly! It’s true, I look forward to your new releases, knowing that you made the effort to bring us a fascinating interview every time. Thank you for introducing us to all the great minds! It is SO rich. ♥️🙏
WOW this is AMAZING Steven thank you for sharing! I had no idea you even had sponsors, THAT's how authentic your spiel on these brands has always been. Thank you for breaking this down as I am very eager to start my podcast. LOVE THIS
I do think that in the beginning it can make a lot of sense to have seasons in the case of an interview-based podcast to build social proof to then have an easier way to pitch the podcast going forward (and making it bi-weekly or weekly through that).
Thank you Steven, I really really enjoy listening to you, and genuinely find you fascinating, and inspiring.... As an older man with ADHD and Dyslexia who has struggled with many aspects of life, especially since leaving the comfort blanket of the Army many years ago, you have helped me to gain some focus, and to become a Hueligan ... Thank you again...
I 100% agree that podcast guests can become friends after such a special conversation. Being able to contact someone I find interesting and ask to have a conversation has been amazing. Podcasting has been the one of best thing I have done in the last 3-4 years. Some life long friends. Very, very blessed. Thanks for all you are doing and what you are bringing to the world. I'm not doing the income you are but it is a great idea to pull in authentic products to share. All the best. If you ever wish to be a podcast guest, I would be honored.
Started watching your videos today by accident. I've been thinking about starting a podcast for a while now and just wanted to thank you for giving me that extra shot of motivation to do it.
If you are famous you can go straight to the CEOs and maybe get lucky. The fact that he did it in a humble way is the cherry on top, but I don't think that would work for 99% of people, regardless of how good their presentation is. That being said, I like how he is honest about view count and doesn't try pretend that it is a mainstream podcast, but rather a very good niche product.
Wow, Steve! This video/podcast may have been the most impactful one in my life as I ponder the idea of starting a new video/podcast channel. Your presentation and the way you communicate is enlightening! All of the points provides a great strategy one can implement right away. I loved Point # 1 (consistency) and point # 5 ( why start/keep going) because without those I'll never reach the ultimate goal. Thank you again for sharing your insights and love for content makers. You have already made the world a better place brotha!
Wow, I loved this weeks episode. You are so sharp in your delivery. Can you make a video about how you prepare for your podcasts, such as this one? Do you write a script? Do you read one? Do you practice and if so what do you do to practice? How did you get so good at the delivery and what did you intentionally do to get better? That would be amazing :)
I almost skipped this video but I am so glad I went back and listened to it, and subscribed immediately. Thank you for this. It has given me the extra push I needed in my podcast journey that's about to begin.
This has to be my favourite video of yours! No offence to the amazing guests you have but the value and inspiration in this once beat everything. The transparency authenticity and honesty in this one really hit.
I could never do something that I don’t enjoy either. I also don’t listen to anything I don’t’ enjoy. I like the depth of your podcast. Sometimes I think I am going to enjoy and it is hard. The people are emotional. I sometimes need to stop and come back. I also like to learn things. I’m in my mid 50s, I don’t really care about doing anything more then cover my costs and do something interesting. It has already made an impact in my approach to being more creative at work, because I just don’t’ care what people think of me anymore.
The one thing that is missing here is that you are a pretty well known entrepreneur and rich. The ceo of Huel would absolutely not have backed a nobody (somebody not very well known if at all) as he did here. That’s the missing thing. The only way to prove otherwise would be to prove it by creating a new podcast with an undercover name and then when if it comes to money being agreed, reveal your true name and details and tell them why you did it, to prove it’s possible for everybody.
I love your honesty. To be frank, your podcast is my number 1 go-to when I want to listen to deep genuine conversations. Thank you for sharing this because I don't believe in conforming. If it's not working for others doesn't mean it won't for me
In a whatsapp group with 3 of my closest people and your podcasts are consistently shared as a "definitely watch this one guys it's really inspiring" recommendation ❤️
Appreciate your Authenticity. I have basically doing Tiktok and this inspired me to to push forward to going on making video with equipment purchased but I have yet to unload the passion contained within. Commitment made
Like most entrepreneurs I'm so time poor juggling business, family and everything else yet every week I tune in. I love the honesty and openness, it's really such a pleasure to listen to. Great advice as always.
i just cant become obsessed with money. one day everyone dies and loses it all. if i have enough to live on and enough spare to treat myself sometimes i'm good. glad for you though
Steven, this podcast episode was next level valuable to me that found me at divine timing. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for the goodness you are creating in this world. It’s a ripple effect of positivity in air - and energetic - waves. Blessings for continued success.✨
I discovered your TH-cam channel a couple of months ago and I love it. The advice you share here is gold. I love your show because you are authentic, a powerful listener and interviewer and have great guests. I appreciate your commitment to quality and it shows, the show is super slick. Thank you for these fantastic tips and sharing your learnings. I also love how you cut out the middle man and you have married your passion/hobby with making a profit in a way that is authentic. Wow, just wow.
Hindsight is 20/20 you are number one and so you can shut down the naysayers. What if it didn't happen that way. Your also attractive and have a golden voice so that goes in your favor too. So there is more to this and you are a CEO so you have instant connections and power.
Thankyou for sharing you experience with social media and pod casting. I've rescently came across you .I find your questions you ask are completely free spirited. Your bold and direct. And it's true about learning things in that 2hr window .Once again thankyou .
First off, congratulations on the 50k subs! It was interesting to hear about the journey with Huel and how that evolved. Would you one day have Julian Hean on the podcast? PS: I would love to see the podcast live as it seems like an amazing production and the content is always super high quality!
The quality of this podcast is right out of the top drawer. Thank you, it’s given me so many ideas amongst other inspirational elements. Your message is delivered with so much clarity.
Your podcast is fantastic. Great clever guests. People are been conned paying thousands to be told to get an idea start a business and work hard haha. This podcast is the best thing to actually hear from the horses mouth how things is done and how to achieve things. You deserve every penny you are making.

Consistency, consistency, consistency. Committing to weekly episodes of quality content this for my podcast! No more random hiatuses. Thank you!
Something Steve and others forgot to mention is that consistency over time leads to *compounding* and that's where the secret sauce is.
@@scottd1342 delayed gratification ✅ one workout or one healthy meal doesn’t make you instantly fit or healthier but that compounded over time will 😊
@@AnjuliMack Very true. Just commit to weekly and never stop
Yes, the best piece of advice!
The amount of value this podcast has given me has been endless

"Tears of Joy " your podcasts offer the years are the reason I've finally decided to journey into podcasting

I've never been so inspired by a video I initially expected to be like all the other "get rich quick" videos. I doubt you will see this, considering this video is a year old. But if you do, know that you inspired one more person and gained one more to your list of subscribers. Not because of the title of your video, but because of the passion you have for what you do. Thank you for sharing!
Having a podcast sharpens your presentation skills~ Steven Bartlett.
I learned.
30 minutes!!! Every single second is priceless!!! Thanks a lot!🙏
I have been listening to the DOAC via Spotify for a month and I'm up to this episode. Great role model for all ages. I feel your wisdom spans a broad range of ages groups and refreshingly, you don't come across like most people I used to see in the corporate world i.e. suited and booted, talks in business jargon etc. Its makes you far more relatable for the everyday person who may not be self employed. I fully believe you have and will continue to inspire hundreds of thousands of people into starting a business or even to purse what it is that interests them in life in terms of a job/career path. Congrats.
Thank you Steve! This is priceless advice. 🙏❤ Getting into podcasting was something I used to think about occasionally as a 'what if' possibility...now listening to this, it actually feels more plausible. The place where you are coming from-producing high quality content that you like and that gives the best value to the listeners-is very inspiring!!
I believe you can do it :)
It is sooooooo kind of you, Stephen, to help people to advise them . You have a good heart. Thanks a lot. I love watching your podcasts. ❤❤❤❤❤
Isn’t he just?
I've been here since your first episode, really glad to see you post regularly and pull up this kind of numbers.
It is clear that your previous experience in the business world was key for you to be able to convince all these brands, congrats man you deserve it.
You are operating from a place of truth, sincerity and integrity and all of us should be so thankful. Because today, this is a rarity. I support this movement. Thank you for being a noble leader of it. Subscribed.
Goal is to watch as many videos as possible - video number #1
lesson - Love , Genuine, Reason , connecting.
Just watched this video and wanted to thank Steven for putting this out here. I am a nobody and just created my own podcast. This is such valuable information. Finances aside, every other reason to podcast is every reason for me to continue doing it. Thanks for the points.
You can share the practical tips, Stephen, and people can apply them, but ultimately this podcast is outstanding and so successful because of you.
Greatest interviewer of your generation. ✨🙏🏆
Thanks for the work you do, and all that you’ve given to people through your podcast.
This is SO valuable. Basically the most valuable thing you can do as a human being is to struggle to understand the truth of the world and use your struggle to help others.
1. be consistant - keep producing at least once a week
2. Grow your podcast through social media
3. Produce quality work, mantain higĥ standards
4. Staff and equipment
5. Cut middleman, go straight to the companies for sponsors
6. Learn about the topic you're covering

As a podcaster myself I agree that quality, consistency and passion must be present in order to succeed. The aim of a podcast to me is to give value to the audience, and when we fail that, no 4k shooting or famous guest will cut it, so, well done for deleting episodes that didn’t give that value. With respect, may I add that there is a difference between knocking on the door of a possible sponsor company as Mr Nobody, and being a Dragon’s Den business man who has high visibility and credibility. I shall keep watching your podcast!
I came in for Dr Tara Swart . It gave me some magic and it seems some doors have opened to me !! And Steven I am your fan from Dragons Den and your podcast is doing some great magic and helping me to come out of depression!! . Thank you.
Steven, there's a reason why this episode popped up on my TH-cam feed today! Just launched the first two episodes of my second podcast. Thank You for sharing this strategy! Loved it!
First thing I’ve done after watching this episode, I went on Spotify and listened the first episode. I’m starting now as a sole estate agent and I completely understand all your struggles and challenges. I took onboard things like delivering quality, consistency and perseverance ❤️
Success is 5% brains and 95% consistency
Depth, breath and learning opportunities are really important to me in terms of my engaging with every source of content I consume. The Quality here at Diary of a CEO, is certaintly 'quantity' for me. Thank you for what you (and your team) produce/deliver consistently with resilience. 👍
Putting the UK on the map and setting the bar high, keep up the amazing work dude
Hello Mr Bartlett,
You mentioned people giving up 2 hours of time to listen to people they may not of heard of. I had heard of Russell Brand but never really liked him, but I was curious when I saw he was on your podcast. Because of you, really, I watched the conversation, and that changed my mind about him. He went through such a journey to get to the Russel Brand he is today, and he sure knows how to put amazing sentences together.
Thank you! The joy of TH-cam is even when I'm slow at getting to your older content, it still resonates. What a great episode for those of us just starting out.
The point about the impact resonated with me. A few years ago I had an urge to write a book. But I'm not a writer, so I just wrote a couple of short stories and published them online. And people read them and even liked them. But I knew nothing about those people, and had no way to get into conversation with them. That helped me realise that I didn't really want to write books, but I wanted to discuss certain topics with others, with people whom I don't know personally, but who might be interested in the same ideas.
It's great that Steven managed to find the right tools to connect to the audience. We all benefit from it.
Steven - I came across your podcast about 2 months ago and I have quite literally watched all of your episodes. The amount of value it has brought to my life has been amazing, I love how natural the conversation is between you and your guest, the depth of content, the vulnerability, transparency and relatability! Thank you for your dedication in producing this content for us - I look forward to Monday :-)
Lool me too. So true
I subscribed to your channel because you focus so exclusively on the guests and really listen to them. Of course, enjoying your commentary along the way. So many interviewers nowadays interrupt or try to redirect the conversation to themselves when the focus is on the interviewee and their knowledge! Your team has really found a way to capture an audience with the guests. It is really unique that you also are the interviewer and interviewee of yourself on other occasions. I also enjoy the structure of your podcasts and the fact that it is broken down with labels so I can jump around need be.
Thank you so much for this episode. As an up and coming podcaster myself , I was tearing up listening/ watching. Just knowing that my partner and I, are on the right path and you provided hope to what is possible. As long as we are consistent. Thank you. Cheers to success, impact and longevity.
Really loved watching this and learning from you too. I am a UK TH-camr but in the last year "for fun" started a podcast too and completely agree that actually the depth of value from a podcast is the one thing that most people will stop and talk to me/comment about. I love that I can use different media for different topics, but really understood that also that even the media types themselves give a unique experience to the viewer/listener. Thank you for sharing this and here's to even more success ahead!
You've just received a new subscriber in me
@@Propertypastor That is very kind - thank you xx
Thank you for sharing all those nuggets Steven and team. Me being here proves podcasting/you tubing content lives forever - I was searching for info on reviving my podcast in 2023 and of course I am going to watch Steven Barrett's episode advice since Diary of the CEO is my daily walking buddy. Wishing you and your team every success. I'm inspired!
Thank you for your advice, we will be on your podcast in the future to discuss how your advice helped us make millions.
I look forward to it!
All the best boys, just gained a new subscriber. I like your podcast
@@tylerjoseph820 thank you so much for your support, we hope you enjoy future content 💪
Your commitment to quality is what really resonates with me. You are happy to pull an episode, if you feel it’s just not right. This, together with consistency of production is what I find interesting. You know it will result in more effort and you have set yourself deadlines. This is something I struggle with as my deadlines are too tight, I try to keep my content about what has happened each week and my other socials then match up. Maybe more future planning. Thanks for taking the time to open up these questions for ourselves. Great podcast and I now listen every week on the road.
The way you cut through the noise of TH-cam Steve and have the intuition to ask guests the questions most of us want answering but many wouldn’t dare to ask, the production quality, witty humour, even the set is top tier. My current favourite go to channel that will take some beating.. thank you….again 🍾
I love your podcast and appreciate the standards you set so greatly! It’s true, I look forward to your new releases, knowing that you made the effort to bring us a fascinating interview every time. Thank you for introducing us to all the great minds! It is SO rich. ♥️🙏
Thank you for this! I LOVE how genuine you are. This came in handy because I started a podcast and have been thinking about doing it on TH-cam!
I really appreciate when people are so open about their numbers & experience, I think it is really good for society, thank you very much sir
WOW this is AMAZING Steven thank you for sharing! I had no idea you even had sponsors, THAT's how authentic your spiel on these brands has always been. Thank you for breaking this down as I am very eager to start my podcast. LOVE THIS
Schedule and sticking to it, is indeed very important.
I do think that in the beginning it can make a lot of sense to have seasons in the case of an interview-based podcast to build social proof to then have an easier way to pitch the podcast going forward (and making it bi-weekly or weekly through that).
Thank you Steven, I really really enjoy listening to you, and genuinely find you fascinating, and inspiring.... As an older man with ADHD and Dyslexia who has struggled with many aspects of life, especially since leaving the comfort blanket of the Army many years ago, you have helped me to gain some focus, and to become a Hueligan ... Thank you again...
Already impressed- and this video is 2 years old.!! Actually been watching and listening because you get what I am interested in.
I always wondered where the inspiration for the introduction came from. Thanks for shedding more light on this
Many people talk about being truly authentic which is a standard that is hard to live up to. You really live up to it. This was very inspiring.
I 100% agree that podcast guests can become friends after such a special conversation. Being able to contact someone I find interesting and ask to have a conversation has been amazing. Podcasting has been the one of best thing I have done in the last 3-4 years. Some life long friends. Very, very blessed. Thanks for all you are doing and what you are bringing to the world. I'm not doing the income you are but it is a great idea to pull in authentic products to share. All the best. If you ever wish to be a podcast guest, I would be honored.
Started watching your videos today by accident. I've been thinking about starting a podcast for a while now and just wanted to thank you for giving me that extra shot of motivation to do it.
If you are famous you can go straight to the CEOs and maybe get lucky. The fact that he did it in a humble way is the cherry on top, but I don't think that would work for 99% of people, regardless of how good their presentation is.
That being said, I like how he is honest about view count and doesn't try pretend that it is a mainstream podcast, but rather a very good niche product.
Wow, Steve! This video/podcast may have been the most impactful one in my life as I ponder the idea of starting a new video/podcast channel. Your presentation and the way you communicate is enlightening! All of the points provides a great strategy one can implement right away. I loved Point # 1 (consistency) and point # 5 ( why start/keep going) because without those I'll never reach the ultimate goal. Thank you again for sharing your insights and love for content makers. You have already made the world a better place brotha!
Wow, I loved this weeks episode. You are so sharp in your delivery. Can you make a video about how you prepare for your podcasts, such as this one? Do you write a script? Do you read one? Do you practice and if so what do you do to practice? How did you get so good at the delivery and what did you intentionally do to get better? That would be amazing :)
I almost skipped this video but I am so glad I went back and listened to it, and subscribed immediately. Thank you for this. It has given me the extra push I needed in my podcast journey that's about to begin.
This has to be my favourite video of yours! No offence to the amazing guests you have but the value and inspiration in this once beat everything. The transparency authenticity and honesty in this one really hit.
Mostly I didn't consider much of this but it's been an eye opener. Consistently produce content. That will stick with me for life. Thank you.
I could never do something that I don’t enjoy either. I also don’t listen to anything I don’t’ enjoy. I like the depth of your podcast. Sometimes I think I am going to enjoy and it is hard. The people are emotional. I sometimes need to stop and come back. I also like to learn things. I’m in my mid 50s, I don’t really care about doing anything more then cover my costs and do something interesting. It has already made an impact in my approach to being more creative at work, because I just don’t’ care what people think of me anymore.
30 minutes of my day well spent! Thanks, Stevovo!
The one thing that is missing here is that you are a pretty well known entrepreneur and rich. The ceo of Huel would absolutely not have backed a nobody (somebody not very well known if at all) as he did here. That’s the missing thing. The only way to prove otherwise would be to prove it by creating a new podcast with an undercover name and then when if it comes to money being agreed, reveal your true name and details and tell them why you did it, to prove it’s possible for everybody.
I love your honesty. To be frank, your podcast is my number 1 go-to when I want to listen to deep genuine conversations. Thank you for sharing this because I don't believe in conforming. If it's not working for others doesn't mean it won't for me
In a whatsapp group with 3 of my closest people and your podcasts are consistently shared as a "definitely watch this one guys it's really inspiring" recommendation ❤️
Appreciate your Authenticity. I have basically doing Tiktok and this inspired me to to push forward to going on making video with equipment purchased but I have yet to unload the passion contained within. Commitment made
Wow!!! Glad to have bumped to you this week. What you are doing is massively important in this day and age. Glad you came my way.
Cheers
We needed a high quality British Podcast. Got tired of Joe Rogan recycling his 'comedian' and MMA friends
You did it Steven - Thank you
❤
Like most entrepreneurs I'm so time poor juggling business, family and everything else yet every week I tune in. I love the honesty and openness, it's really such a pleasure to listen to. Great advice as always.
This is absolutely splashing the value given for free. Well done Steve
i just cant become obsessed with money. one day everyone dies and loses it all. if i have enough to live on and enough spare to treat myself sometimes i'm good. glad for you though
Steven, this podcast episode was next level valuable to me that found me at divine timing. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for the goodness you are creating in this world. It’s a ripple effect of positivity in air - and energetic - waves. Blessings for continued success.✨
This is encouraging. I plan to stay the course & consistently show up for my podcast show The Coin: Black History on the Other Side.
I discovered your TH-cam channel a couple of months ago and I love it. The advice you share here is gold. I love your show because you are authentic, a powerful listener and interviewer and have great guests. I appreciate your commitment to quality and it shows, the show is super slick. Thank you for these fantastic tips and sharing your learnings. I also love how you cut out the middle man and you have married your passion/hobby with making a profit in a way that is authentic. Wow, just wow.
Hindsight is 20/20 you are number one and so you can shut down the naysayers. What if it didn't happen that way. Your also attractive and have a golden voice so that goes in your favor too. So there is more to this and you are a CEO so you have instant connections and power.
Every piece of content Steve puts out is insanely valuable but comes across so casually
Really crazy to watch 🔥
This was very insightful, extremely useful while being simplistic and informative. Thanks Stephen! You have no idea how much I needed to hear this 🙏🏼
Best podcast ever. So good that it pushes me to produce one at the same level of vulnerability, honesty & quality.
Thank you!
Just found your podcasts and im addicted. Thank you so much for all your knowledge and work. Bless 🔥🔥
Thankyou for sharing you experience with social media and pod casting. I've rescently came across you .I find your questions you ask are completely free spirited. Your bold and direct. And it's true about learning things in that 2hr window .Once again thankyou .
First off, congratulations on the 50k subs!
It was interesting to hear about the journey with Huel and how that evolved.
Would you one day have Julian Hean on the podcast?
PS: I would love to see the podcast live as it seems like an amazing production and the content is always super high quality!
50k subs….Now 06/23 it’s approximately 2.4 million. Amazing 👏🏾💯
Thank you for the depth, the vulnerability, and sharing this knowledge. We can't wait to see what is to come
The quality of this podcast is right out of the top drawer. Thank you, it’s given me so many ideas amongst other inspirational elements. Your message is delivered with so much clarity.
Just got inspired whilst listening. Now have the name for my new business idea. You are so inspirational. I can’t thank you enough 💙
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and honesty Steve. Using your tips, I will share my podcast with you once it is up and running.
Your podcast is fantastic. Great clever guests. People are been conned paying thousands to be told to get an idea start a business and work hard haha. This podcast is the best thing to actually hear from the horses mouth how things is done and how to achieve things. You deserve every penny you are making.
I came here for one of your guest interviews - I stayed because of the quality (both thencontent and rich audio ambience)
