James Smith: Unlock Unstoppable Confidence in Just 100 Minutes
Buckle up because this episode of The Diary of a CEO takes a sharp turn into the world of confidence – and trust me, it’s unlike anything you’ve heard before. Stephen Bartlett sits down with James Smith, a fitness guru, no-holds-barred personal trainer, and two-time best-selling author of Not a Life Coach and Not a Diet Book. Forget the cookie-cutter fitness influencers you’re used to—James has an entirely different approach, and he’s bringing that same radical mindset to help people level up their confidence game.In this conversation, James throws out the old idea that confidence is something you’re either born with or not. Instead, he argues that confidence is earned—piece by piece, moment by moment—through what he calls “accumulated evidence.” Yeah, it’s not about some magical trait; it’s about the challenges you face, how you rise to meet them, and the audacity to keep going when the going gets tough. Oh, and there’s a bit of deprivation sprinkled in (yep, you read that right). According to James, it’s about giving up the things that don't serve you, so you can make room for the stuff that really matters. It’s the hard truth about how you prioritize your goals.But don’t think it’s just about lifting weights or eating chicken and rice all day. James dives deep into modern dating and relationships too. He shares his unfiltered thoughts on the importance of open, honest communication—and how personal growth is the real secret ingredient for any successful relationship. Trust me, you won’t hear the same old advice here.And here’s where it gets really personal. James opens up about his own journey—because, hey, nobody’s path to confidence is straight. He talks about how the highs and lows have shaped him, how facing his own obstacles and doubts led him to where he is today, and why the journey (and not the destination) is what’s really important. It’s raw, it’s real, and it's exactly what you need to hear if you’re looking to find purpose, build confidence, and break free from the stuff that holds you back.Ready to take the leap? Tune in now. This isn’t your average self-help talk. It’s about doing the damn work, facing fears head-on, and discovering that confidence is within your control.👉 Watch the full episode on YouTube: "James Smith: Become Confident In 100 Minutes | E174" from The Diary of a CEO's channel.

Speak Like a Pro: Julian Treasure’s Secrets to Being Heard
In this episode of The Diary of a CEO, Stephen Butler has a truly mind-bending conversation with Julian Treasure, the guy who literally wrote the book (and gave the TED talk, with over 50 million views!) on how to speak so people actually want to listen. I mean, let’s be real—how many of us just drone on, wishing for someone to pay attention? But Julian? He’s the master of sound, communication, and, wait for it—active listening. Yes, listening! Because, spoiler alert, communication is a two-way street, not just a one-person soapbox.Now, Julian doesn’t just talk about sounding good when you speak—he gets into the gritty details of breathing techniques (yes, breathing) and something called “prosody” (you know, the rise and fall of your voice, the rhythm that makes people lean in instead of checking their phone). It’s not just about the words you say, but how you say them. Think about it—ever heard someone speak and thought, “Wow, that person’s voice is magnetic”? That's prosody working its magic.But that’s not all. The conversation dives into a topic we all struggle with—active listening. Reflecting. Validating. Understanding someone else’s world (and really hearing them). It's this idea of listening that transforms conversations from just words to something much deeper. And yeah, Julian doesn’t shy away from calling out the dark side of our current world: social media. The cancel culture, the shaming—it’s like a toxic cocktail that too often drowns out authentic voices.And let’s not forget—the heart of the discussion: personal values. Because at the end of the day, no matter how much technique you’ve mastered, if you don’t stay grounded in who you are—what’s the point? The process of personal growth is ongoing—never easy, but, well, rewarding (if you don’t mind the struggle).So, take a moment. Listen—really listen—to Julian's advice. Trust me, your communication game will never be the same.👉 Want to speak with more power, purpose, and authenticity? Tune in NOW and get ready to change the way you talk—and listen.

Dacher Keltner: Harnessing Awe to Beat Stress and Transform Your Life
In this mind-opening episode of The Diary of a CEO, we sit down with Dacher Keltner—a professor at UC Berkeley, the man behind the Greater Good Science Center, and someone who’s spent decades diving deep into the fascinating world of human emotions. Keltner’s research focuses on all the big ones: compassion, love, awe, power, and... well, the messy stuff we don't always talk about. He’s also the author of The Power Paradox—which, let’s be real, is a whole book you’ll want to devour if you’re even a little bit curious about how power plays into our lives.So, what does awe have to do with all this? Apparently, quite a lot. Keltner makes the case that awe—a feeling we all know when we witness something bigger than ourselves—can actually lower stress (yes, stress!) and even spark creativity. He talks about how we can deliberately invite awe into our daily routines. Maybe you’re walking outside, or—strangely enough—admiring your favorite coffee mug in the morning. Trust me, you’ll never look at that mug the same way again. It’s all about shifting perspective, right?But here’s the twist—Keltner doesn’t shy away from tough truths. One of the most shocking points he brings up is about wealth, power, and empathy. The higher you rise on the social ladder, the more disconnected you can become from the people around you. In a sense, the more power we gain, the less compassionate we feel for those who don’t have it. It’s a slippery slope, and we’re all living it.And then there’s the human connection piece—the “touch” part that’s almost hard to talk about without getting emotional. Keltner insists that a lack of physical connection is not just an inconvenience, it’s a killer. Literally. We need to touch, hug, hold hands, and all the small ways we connect with others, or our life expectancy and happiness levels drop. It sounds like common sense, but in today’s world? It’s easy to forget.So, if you’re feeling overwhelmed with the world, stressed, or just plain stuck—Keltner’s approach could help. He offers simple but profound ways to rethink your life. Tap into awe, embrace connection, and try to let go of the unnecessary pressures we put on ourselves. It might sound too simple, but that’s the magic. Ready to change the way you think about stress and happiness?Catch the full interview on The Diary of a CEO’s YouTube channel here and find out how awe can literally transform your life.

Richard Branson's $3B Journey: From Dyslexia to Space
In this eye-opening conversation with Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Group, on The Diary of a CEO, we get a glimpse into the mind of a man who has, quite literally, defied every expectation life had set for him. "Either you'll be a massive success or you'll end up in jail," they told him back in school. Well, he certainly proved them wrong. And how. With a fortune well into the billions (seriously, billions), and the great expanse of space now on his to-do list, Richard Branson has done more than simply break the mold—he's reshaped it, torn it up, and blasted off into a whole new galaxy.But let’s rewind a bit. Imagine struggling with dyslexia, not feeling like you quite fit in, and being told you’d probably never amount to much. Yet, Richard—undeterred, relentless, and always up for a challenge—saw something bigger, something brighter. And this is the story he shares with us today, in his unmistakable, larger-than-life way. The Virgin empire he built? It’s not just about business. It’s about attitude, risk, and that wild belief that maybe—just maybe—everything the world tells you is wrong.He talks about his mother, Eve—ah, Eve—who shaped him in ways that we might never fully understand. She was his compass, his anchor, his ever-present force as he navigated the treacherous waters of entrepreneurship. The connection he has with her, and how that bond shaped his world, is something that hits you when you least expect it. Maybe it’s the way Richard’s eyes light up when he speaks about her or the weight of his words. She was his first champion, and the way he talks about her—it just stays with you.And then, there’s Virgin Galactic. Who doesn't want to launch into space, right? Yet for Branson, it's not just a shiny, lofty dream; it’s the next frontier. Literally. His journey into space isn't just about the tech (though, let’s be real, it’s insane), it's about something deeper. His quest for adventure. Pushing limits. Even when the challenges feel impossible, he dives headfirst.So, buckle up. This conversation is a rollercoaster through a life that defies reason, logic, and pretty much every limit we put on ourselves. It’s about dreaming big, failing hard, and getting back up—again and again. Get ready for an exclusive, unfiltered look at Richard Branson's world, where the impossible becomes just the next thing on the list.👉 Don’t let this one slip away—subscribe now and join the ride.

Imagine leveraging those innate human urges to craft messages that resonate. Powerful stuff!He’s also a huge advocate for experimentation—yes, trial and error, but in a smart, strategic way.

David Epstein: Rethinking Mastery – The Myth of 10,000 Hours

He has some serious counterarguments. In a world obsessed with constant grinding and hustle culture, he boldly states that mastering a skill isn’t just about logging those hours. Nope. Instead, he champions a more dynamic approach—sampling a variety of skills, nurturing self-regulatory practices, and, most importantly, embracing experimentation. It’s about the journey, not just the destination, right?The discussion flows into a rich exploration of diverse thinking and the cultural dynamics of teams. Epstein really digs into this concept called the explore-exploit tradeoff, which, to put it simply, is about balancing the thrill of discovering new possibilities with the security of sticking to what you already know works. It’s like navigating a maze, where sometimes you have to wander off the beaten path to find the exit—thrilling and terrifying at the same time.And here’s the kicker: Epstein warns against the perils of over-specialization. I mean, we live in a time where being a "jack of all trades" feels almost revolutionary, and he emphasizes that narrowing your focus can actually be a recipe for stagnation. In his eyes, we truly learn who we are—not in theory, but through practice. It’s a bit poetic, really. We’re all trying to define ourselves, and sometimes it’s messy, sometimes it’s glorious, but always it’s real.You definitely don’t want to miss out on this enlightening conversation!

Dr. K: Why Our Digital Lives Are Making Us Lonely & Lost
What’s going on in the world today? In this raw, fascinating conversation on The Diary of a CEO, Harvard-trained psychiatrist Dr. Alok Kanojia—better known as Dr. K—breaks down the overwhelming mental health struggles that seem to define modern life. Dr. K isn’t your typical psychiatrist. He’s also a co-founder of Healthy Gamer, an innovative mental health coaching company that helps people tackle the stresses of today's world—think social media addiction, endless video games, online dating, and this crushing sense of, well... purposelessness. And as Dr. K sits down with Steven Bartlett, he doesn’t hold back.Dr. K argues that so many people today are struggling because they’ve been taught to look outward for answers to deeply personal issues—issues that can’t just be solved by scrolling Instagram, grinding through a game, or checking who’s liked your latest post. The endless loop of validation-seeking, he says, is actually pushing people further from real self-understanding, creating a generation that is lonely, anxious, and—ironically—disconnected from itself. At one point, Dr. K suggests we’re a society obsessed with bandaid solutions, chasing happiness in “likes” and temporary highs, all while avoiding the messy but vital work of understanding our own emotions.And his approach? It’s a unique mix of neuroscience and spirituality—two fields you wouldn’t think belong together but somehow do, like peanut butter and, I don’t know, pickles? Dr. K believes true happiness comes not from fixing or “hacking” ourselves but from learning to be with ourselves, an acceptance of our true selves that can feel miles away in the digital age. It's about being, not just doing. For Dr. K, practices like meditation, self-reflection, and dealing with past traumas are the real path forward—a way to break free from this culture of surface-level "happiness" and instead, find a deeper, more fulfilling way to live.Curious to hear more? Watch the full interview, titled "Dr K: We Are Producing Millions Of Lonely, Addicted, Purposeless Men & Women!" over on The Diary of a CEO's channel. Don't miss it—it's the kind of conversation that’ll make you question how you spend your time (and maybe think twice about opening TikTok).

Why Splitting Bills Is a Red Flag: Ramit Sethi Explains
Dive into this lively episode from The Diary of a CEO—where Ramit Sethi, the unapologetically bold author of I Will Teach You to Be Rich, doesn’t hold back on his views about relationships and, yes, that awkward moment when the bill arrives at dinner. Joined by Steven Bartlett, Ramit cuts right to the chase, challenging traditional money beliefs (like how splitting the bill isn’t always as “fair” as we think—red flag alert!) and flipping the script on the age-old “renting is wasted money” argument. And really, who decided that buying a house was the be-all, end-all symbol of financial success?But Ramit’s not just here to shock or stir the pot. He dives deep—painfully, in some ways—into the raw truth of how couples handle money, revealing four types of “money personalities” that every couple has probably bumped into: avoiders, optimizers, worriers, and, yes, those blissful dreamers. Now, imagine navigating money with someone who’s your opposite; it’s a delicate dance, a collision, a bit like the frenetic stock market on a Monday morning, right? Ramit calls for something bigger than balance—a “rich life vision” shared by both partners. It’s about designing a life, consciously, down to every dollar—well, almost. Because, let's be honest, do we really need to agonize over that daily latte? Or that extra streaming service?And there’s more. Beyond the couple dynamics, Ramit goes into what it means to teach our kids about money in a world flooded with instant gratification, rising inflation, and financial insecurity. He’s a big advocate for breaking down financial taboos, especially around debt, shame, and all those little money lies we tell ourselves. The conversation’s got twists, it’s packed with aha moments—and a few “wait, what did he just say?” thoughts.Catch the full conversation on YouTube for all the emotion, the honesty, the humor, and Ramit’s unique brand of financial wisdom. You’ll find it under the title "Ramit Sethi: Never Split The Bill, It's A Red Flag & Renting Isn't Wasting Money!" over on The Diary of a CEO's channel.

From Corporate Escape to Financial Freedom: Richard Fain's 5 Streams of Income
Ever dreamed of walking into your boss's office, finally saying, “I quit!”? Well, in his YouTube video, "How I Built 5 Streams of Income and Fired My 9-5 Job," Richard Fain actually did it—he really quit his 9-5, thanks to a wild mix of income streams. It’s not just about numbers; it’s about freedom, and you can feel his excitement—almost a rush—as he describes his journey.Richard starts with his first love: real estate. He talks about buying his first home and, somehow, turning it into a rental empire. You know, he didn’t set out to be a landlord, but he fell into it (isn’t that how these things go?) and now manages multiple properties. Then he takes a bit of a curveball with luxury watch flipping. It’s niche, sure, but it works—who knew people were so obsessed with high-end timepieces? It’s like he turned his fascination with craftsmanship into cold, hard cash.Then, he gets into the stock market. The highs, the lows, the moments where it seems like maybe he’s about to lose it all... but somehow, he pulls through. It's not all glamorous; there’s grit to his investment story, moving through company plans and individual stocks. And just when you think, “Alright, he’s a numbers guy,” he throws another surprise. His fourth stream? A financial consulting business. Yup, he founded RF Financial Consulting to help others, and he lights up when he talks about guiding clients to financial stability. It’s oddly personal—he’s not just selling advice, he’s living it.Finally, his fifth income stream is, ironically, the very thing you’re watching: YouTube. It's incredible how he’s built an income by simply being himself—talking about what he loves, helping viewers change their lives, and creating a community of financial freedom-seekers. It’s an income stream that came out of nowhere, really, but it’s become a huge part of his life.This isn’t just a “follow-these-steps” kind of story; it’s messy, real, and surprisingly relatable. Want to know how Richard’s journey could inspire yours? Catch the full story on Richard Fain’s YouTube channel.

Profit Avengers Review
Affiliate marketing, right? It’s like—no, it was like—chasing shadows, like trying to wring water from a stone. The clicks, the conversions, the constant tweaking... yeah, we’ve been there. I remember spending countless nights refreshing analytics, hoping this time I’d finally cracked it.

The stuff I had been missing all along. And let’s be real, every course out there promises the secret sauce. But Profit Avengers?

They laid it all out, from retargeting (an absolute game-changer, by the way) to optimization techniques that actually work. Plus, you’re surrounded by people who get it, who actually know what it’s like to be in the trenches with you.Here’s the thing, though: nothing’s going to happen if you just wait around. Want in? Get ready to roll up your sleeves and dive in. It's not magic; it's method. (Although sometimes it feels a little like magic when things start to click.)

Blueprints of a Billionaire: Larry Janesky's Journey from Hands-On to High-Rise
In Noah Kagan’s video, "Meet The Billionaire That Works a Normal Job," we get this…well, unexpected look into the daily life and mindset of Larry Janesky. Now, Larry isn’t your typical billionaire—not by a long shot. He’s built a thriving multi-million dollar business repairing basements (yeah, basements), and yet, instead of coasting on his success or hiding out in some plush office, he’s right there in the field. Working with his own hands, alongside his team. It’s gritty, it’s old-school—and honestly, it’s a bit of a throwback to a time when being successful meant getting your hands dirty. Kind of refreshing in a world where everyone’s after digital goldmines.Larry’s whole philosophy? Simple, yet somehow profound. He talks about the true backbone of his business: the team he’s built, the people around him, and this commitment to a work ethic that doesn’t rely on titles or cushy perks. We live in an age of “easy shortcuts” and endless automation, right? But here’s a guy who values manual work—the stuff that takes grit, sweat, and dedication. The man practically defies the trends, suggesting maybe (just maybe) there’s something timeless in doing real work yourself.Then, the conversation turns (a little unexpectedly) to the personal side. Larry gets into what motivates him—balancing it all, not just work and life but relationships, goals, and everything in between. He gives a sneak peek of his new book, Million Dollar Weekend, which digs into achieving that elusive work-life balance and focusing on the relationships that make life actually feel, well…worthwhile. There's a sort of irony in that title, like he’s poking at the notion of ‘millions’ being the big goal, while the real wealth, he’d argue, is in the life you build and the people in it.So, curious to hear a billionaire’s take on success, manual labor, and life balance? You’ll want to catch this. Watch the interview on Noah Kagan’s channel, and see if Larry’s grounded take on life and business doesn’t give you a little jolt of inspiration to take things back to basics.

Beyond the Grind: A Day with a $270M Entrepreneur Balancing Work, Passion, and Purpose
In this dive into the day of a $270 million entrepreneur, Noah Kagan doesn’t just take us through the motions; he cracks open his life, letting us see the realness behind that title—a “$270 million” price tag on his decisions, habits, and moments of quiet that, surprisingly, could be pretty relatable. Kagan starts with his morning rituals (you know, those elusive hours everyone says they’ll protect but never do): meditation, goal-setting, and reading. But it’s not like he sits on a mountaintop, chanting or sipping tea at sunrise. No, it’s a rhythm he’s cultivated, woven through early meetings and the head-spinning demands of running a company. You can almost picture him rushing through notes, with a half-smile, saying, “Alright, let’s make today count.”As the day unfolds, Kagan’s balance of structured tasks and spontaneous moments paints a strange, unpredictable portrait of CEO life—one that’s hardly a Hollywood montage. Instead, you see the gears turning in team meetings, the talk of budgets (serious, a little tense), and the side-chats with colleagues who share a different kind of grind. It’s less “on top of the world” and more “inside the machine,” pushing and pivoting constantly. And through it all, you catch glimpses of Kagan’s passion for life outside the office, like his love of cycling and flying, not just as hobbies, but as necessities that bring him back to himself—an unfiltered, very real version of the guy who runs the show.And there’s the irony—this multi-millionaire finds his balance not by reaching for extravagance, but by finding simplicity. The overarching message? Maybe it’s the little things that keep you whole, especially when your life has zero room for autopilot. His “balanced lifestyle” isn’t just a phrase he throws around, it’s a lifeline, a reminder that the big numbers only mean something when paired with little joys.The video isn’t your usual rags-to-riches story, though. It’s almost a quiet dare—an invitation to step back and consider what really counts as success. Kagan’s day isn’t scripted for perfection; it’s just a genuine moment, a snapshot of a life built with intention and filled with a relentless pursuit of fulfillment. The takeaway? Success might just lie in all those little moments—the meditative silences, the bike rides, the passions you chase outside the office. And Kagan’s parting note: you don’t have to be at the top to start living like you’re there.

Inside the Mind of a $100M CEO: Leila Hormozi’s Journey Beyond Success
The YouTube video “Week in the Life of a $100M CEO | Leila Hormozi” takes us into the whirlwind routine of Leila Hormozi, the founder and CEO of Acquisition.com. She’s not sugar-coating anything here – from the early mornings to late-night calls, it’s all about grit, growth, and grappling with high-stakes decisions that could shift a business worth millions. Leila’s not the type to gloss over struggles; instead, she leans into them, letting viewers in on the moments when the pressure is more than just a word on a page. The chaos, the rhythm of meetings, even the frustration—she’s putting it all out there.There’s something brutally honest about her, a willingness to show vulnerability that’s so rare among CEOs who usually prefer to keep a polished façade. Leila dives deep into what it’s like to balance company demands with personal growth, which she argues isn’t an either-or. (Seriously, the way she speaks about prioritizing self-improvement and its impact on leadership is enough to make anyone rethink their priorities.) For her, true success isn’t just the numbers—although, granted, they’re massive; it’s also about being in sync with her team, creating an environment where communication isn’t just clear but empathetic. She explains that real leaders adapt to their team’s needs and fine-tune their approach with each interaction. It’s…different. Refreshing, really.Her perspective on communication is interesting, too, especially as a leader in such a high-stakes field. She talks about how essential it is to adapt and switch up her communication style depending on who’s in the room. She describes the balance between candor and empathy almost like it’s an art form—and maybe, in a way, it is. Leaders need to feel their way through each conversation, gauge what the person across from them really needs at that moment. She doesn’t just lead by command but by connecting, often pushing herself to be a kind of mentor to her team, showing that she’s not just in it for the numbers but for the people.But it’s not all motivational speeches and philosophical musings. Leila touches on the logistical grind of running a company with massive growth goals, showing just how all-encompassing it can get. It’s exhausting—no question—but in her words, worth it, because every day she’s building something bigger than herself. There’s a powerful, almost relentless drive in how she speaks about pushing for excellence, making sure her team feels valued, and reminding them that she’s willing to go to bat for them, time and again. For anyone dreaming big, or just curious about what it really takes to scale up, this video peels back the curtain in a way that’s unapologetically real.

Slowly, it starts working—he lands a few clients, gets that first payment, and realizes this could actually… maybe... work?But here’s the kicker: Dan is clear that this isn’t some “make-it-big-in-30-days” kinda deal. It’s grit, patience, and a good eye for visuals. Not exactly a gold rush. Still, with enough sweat and time, it looks like the potential is real. So, if you’re thinking, “Hey, could I do this?”—well, dive into Dan’s video. He’s got the details, and it’s raw and unfiltered.

Let’s face it—chasing those flashy, revolutionary ideas—what Gadzhi refers to as the “Unicorn Complex”—might just lead you down a winding, rocky road.

Imagine waking up each day knowing you can go anywhere, do anything—freedom feels electrifying, yet so few of us actually live it.

Break Free: Iman Gadzhi's Blueprint for Achieving Your Goals
In the thought-provoking YouTube video “Do THIS To Accomplish Your Goals in 2025” from Iman Gadzhi's channel, the self-made entrepreneur dives deep into the world of traditional education and career paths. You know, that old song about going to school, getting a degree, and landing a “good job”? Well, Gadzhi argues—quite passionately—that this route often leads to a dead end when it comes to true freedom and real success. It’s a bit like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.He’s not just throwing around empty words; he emphasizes the vital importance of acquiring real, empirical knowledge (that hands-on stuff that makes the world go ‘round). Surrounding yourself with the right crowd—like-minded individuals who inspire and uplift you—is crucial, too. Have you ever noticed how your environment can lift you or drag you down?
