Moonoonn
Thank you for having me mate! Really enjoyed it. Much prefer asking the questions tho 😅😅❤❤
Each and every experience you are talking about with regards to being incapable to do something you don't like, but still being a complete learning junkie hits so close to home. Hope that I can look back at this comment in 10 years and be at your level! See you in 10 years!
yoooooo
I got and I am ready THE DIARY OF A CEO- game changer ❤
Looking forward to the new book
Hi Steven,
Not sure if you will read this, and I mean well, I just want to make a comment on specifically your comments of insecurities around 00:29:50
You mention earlier in the talk regarding having no time for meditating, despite you knowing it's important. I've taken a lot from your comments on so many hours in the day which I will implement in my life, however, from an outsider who follows your channel, I'm wandering if your using your own application to success, as away to avoid meditating, and dealing with some of the insecurities you mention at the timestamp above.
I've seen in other podcasts you talk about staying up late, and eating which follows with shame / guilt. I'm also guilty of this, and from past experience, I know when I meditate this habit and feelings of security subside. So really I'm being a hypocrite, as I'm suggesting you spend that time late in the evening meditating, as clearly this is an activity that could be replaced with meditating, which would also put you in a better mindset for bed too.
Anyhow, thanks for all the content from you both, it's helped me a lot this year, and really my comments above are a reflection of what I'm also failing to do. I will make the effort tonight to follow my own advise.
As a 64 year old, I wish I grew up with people like you guys. The current generation is very lucky to have both of you!
Love this. You're right, there are so many amazing, fair, clear thinking people to influence young people out there aren't there. Steven brings many of them to our screens! My aunt who died about 10 years ago once said how lucky I was to have the Internet Inc web and social to display my creative endeavours. She was an artist and said she would have LOVED to have that when she was younger. We take what we have now for granted often, but when you look back, you can see how much we have. Negative sides too of course, but huge opportunity and support
You sound like the game is up for you. You're only 64 - you could easily have another 30 + years to live. It's endless the things you could achieve in that time. Wishing you an amazing time ahead 😀🚀
we are?
You had Brian Tracy, Tony Robins etc.
I'd like to have 64s in my family that watches this kind of channels on YT:)
I just love how Steven Bartlett speaks with others. The EQ of this man is sky high! He never interrupts and yet, he's still able to gently steer the conversation without pressure. He's a true master of interpersonal communications.
I've heard him in interviews just rave on and on about himself.
Moneys @@theflaca
Love that you just switched sides on Steven's set 😅
I was just about to comment this LOOOL! I knew this was going to happen right after I saw Steven’s book LOOL
So great lol
I agree
😂😂First thing I thought when I saw the thumbnail. Absolutely fabulous😂
i wrote this as well. it's weird.
OMG. You just described my 8 year old boy when you said "obssesd with the things he likes and incapable of doing the things he doesn't like" I am 100% sure he will be joining the school of life soon. Listening to Steven gives me so much hope for my son.
Your son is lucky to have you
I agree that you son is lucky to have a dad who appreciates his individuality. Not that my parents didn’t, but I thought something was wrong with me that I lost my love for the structure of school. I “survived” high and four years of college but couldn’t take any more formal education after I graduated.
My son is like that, he always has known what he wants and what he doesn’t want. As a parent you don’t have any say in it. Just go with it and trust him. My son is 22 now and it’s so much fun to see what he is making of his life. Your son will thrive!
Get him checked for adhd I have it and related soooo much

Thank you. Great summary... Thank you🎉❤🎉🎉
THANK YOU SO MUCH🎉❤
Excellent summary 👍
Thank you very much.✨
Wow this is great summary.
“You can influence your joy when you manage your expectations” - one of the many nuggets in this podcast. Thank you.
“Maybe I need a little bit more pain” ❤ I cannot have agreed more. Most of my greatest changes happen when I’m going through something traumatic.
Stephen is a Genuis! I'm incapable of articulating how much of a blessing it's been stumbling into his podcast diary of a CEO in 2022. It can be very lonely when you're still sort of in the trenches in midlife with a hunger that seems very different from everyone around you. Listening to these kind of conversations has inspired me to become really incredibly audacious with my weird personality and dreams!
Steven seems so curious, kind, thoughtful, gracious and so full of gratitude. Inspiring talk, thank you!
that's 5@Staceyburketrading01
There is a reason why he is one of the popular podcast host
The intelligence and wisdom Steven possess is inspiring and grounding. Huge fans of you both, thank you for creating this conversation and putting it into the world 🙏🏽
Both are brilliantly succinct at conveying their insights, so always feels like time well spent listening to what the have to say! Steven and Ali, huge appreciation for you both 🙌👏
Are you sure? try endlessly quitting when the rent is due and you're too old to find another because migrants have flooded the city and taken all accommodation.
I can't wait when you are over 50 and completely ignore by men and employers.
Gee, reality hurts doesn't it.
Love watching you both together. It's like watching equals where neither is trying to over promote themselves. Just like a couple of old friends having a meaningful chat.
Consider this as a perspective, not financial guidance: Avoid selling during a bear market. If you're uncertain about investments, focus on acquiring knowledge. If learning isn't your preference, channel your energy into creative endeavors. And if creating isn't feasible, then observe. The crucial point is to engage in action-anything other than withdrawing. Abundant opportunities are available. Seize them!
Despite opportunities existing in the market, entering without comprehension isn't a wise decision. To grasp the essential factors that influence your financial journey, I strongly recommend seeking assistance from a professional.
Absolutely correct. I began my investment journey prior to the pandemic's onset and, to my surprise, generated approximately $750,000 in profits within the same year, despite lacking prior investment experience. My approach largely centered on seeking counsel from ERIC THOMAS WITT, a bona fide industry specialist. It is entirely possible to engage without taking a hands-on role, with the guidance of a professional.
ERIC THOMAS WITT has proved to be a valuable asset on my investment path. I initially encountered his perspectives in a segment on an interview, and after conducting personal research, I initiated contact through his website. It may be prudent to independently assess his credibility too.
Eww, bots
Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.
Such market uncertainties are the reason I don’t base my market judgements and decisions on rumours and here-says, got the best of me 2020 and had me holding worthless position in the market, I had to revamp my entire portfolio through the aid of an advisor, before I started seeing any significant results happens in my portfolio, been using the same advisor and I’ve scaled up 750k within 2 years.
Having a counsellor is essential for portfolio diversification. My advisor ASHLEY AIRAGAHI who is easily searchable and has extensive knowledge of the financial markets.
This conversation was amazing, what a duo! I hope you have future podcast episodes together, I really enjoyed it.
I feel a bromance developing between Ali & Steven.
My favourite part of this episode was where Ali explained how Steven interacted with Gordan at breakfast. It was so heartfelt Ali, you’re a great guy ❤️🙏🏾
So true 🥹
The 5 buckets are-
1) Knowledge
2) Skills
3) Resources
4) Network
5) Reputation
I am seeking some investment guidance. It seems like I am never able to identify trends, options always go against me, and I can't utilize scanners efficiently. I am looking for a simple reproducible passive income strategy that supplements my income and eventually replace my wage income.
While I don't consider myself an expert in this field, I'm sure you will find the expertise and support of an adviser invaluable.
I have $50,000 USD that I'm considering investing in the stock market. However, I must admit that I lack the knowledge and expertise in this area. does anyone have experience in this field, and I was wondering if you could kindly point me in the direction of your advisor or someone you trust for guidance in making informed investment decisions. Any help or recommendations you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
You may Know Michelle Christine Parker but If you don't you may do some looking up and thank me later. She's been my adviser for the most part and it's been a smooth ride
Thanks a lot. I just googled her up. finds her website and sent her a mail
Why do I relate to Steven about the home mess thing so much? I’m still dealing with it. It’s that thing you can’t shake off even though you’ve evolved so much as an individual. It’s like somehow, his talking about his mess gave me permission to be okay with mine. Thanks, Steven. Also, thank you, Ali, for the great question. I’m binge watching this at least 3 times today . Sometimes all you need is that reminder again . Life is full of surprises and beauty. It’s so interesting to me how the smallest experiences can make the most difference.
I love Steve’s protocol of when and how to “quit.” This is very valuable information; stuff they don’t teach us in school. Like he said, society glorifies “starting” but gives us no information on the converse.
I absolutely love how Ali shared the Relationship review notion idea. It’s a brilliant idea and it allows for partners to do check ins and be more in sync
This has been my best episode. I may have had tears in my eyes after watching it. I'm so grateful your emotional intelligence and wisdom Steven and I appreciate your line of questioning Ali. Thank youuuuu for this beautiful conversation.
Thankyou so much for sharing this episode with us. So awe inspiring! I had to stop and pen down all the wisdom shared. My favorite were the answers for how you handle “Jealousy and comparison” so wise ! Thanks
I think having regrets is a good thing. It is normal and very therapeutical to have them. Sometimes ppl mistaken regret with a guilt. Regrets gives us a mechanism to explore the life. To figure out what we have control over and what we do not have. Great episode, ❤
this is one of my favourite podcast episodes recently! the vibe you and Steven have is brilliant, it was like two good friends having a deep conversation. hope you guys meet more often. i learned valuable lessons in this one
I agree with you totally. Their vibe is infectious and admirable❤
Steven is a survivor...and a thriver! Not just very intelligent, but incredibly wise and kind!
HILARIOUS! Stephen beoming the Interviewer in the last 20mins and Ali having a Notion page to check in with his relationship 🤣 Two of my fave people coming together - LOVE!
What an inspiring conversation to listen to! You guys are a top notch combo 👌🏻
This was great. I appreciate the honesty and transparency the both of you bring and that we don’t need to be perfect to get things moving, we just have to take action
Thank you so much for this amazing episode! I wish, I could watch it over and over again for the first time. You both are such an inspiration and to see you two do something together is just a dream come true ! You are an amazing duo ! Please do more together!
Thank you ❤
Ali and Steven is a perfect combination to listen to
I loved this episode so much. I'm so inspired by you both it's actually emotional for me. The brilliance, the eloquence the composure in the podcast is remarkable! Thank you.
5:58 this is so refreshing to hear. Obsessed with the things he likes and unable to do what he doesn't like. For many many years I thought something was wrong with me, since I absolutely hated school when I was a child and didn't seem to get any better at studying despite trying, while I could go hours and hours at a time doing something I liked. Knowing that there's someone like me who was able to get successful is nice to know
I have a 3 fund portfolio consisting of 33% S&P, 33% Total stock, and 33% international. I feel a need to focus on complete growth so I went 100% stocks, but does the SP500 and TSM overlap too much to make sense holding both? However I’ve been in the red for a month now. I work hard for my money, so investing is making me a nervous sad wreck. I don’t know if I should sell everything, sit and just wait but watching my portfolio of $450k dwindle away is such an eye -sore.
You might also follow a lot of other fascinating stocks across other industries. I'll advise you to work with a financial advisor who can assist you decide when is the best to buy and sell the shares or ETFs you want to acquire since you don't have to act on every forecast.
I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day investment decisions being guided by an advisor seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not out-perform, been using my advisor for over 2years+ and I've netted over 2.8million.
Despite the market's turbulence over the last four years, this is still a respectable return. Would you mind recommending your financial advisor, if possible? I'm sure I could use some support. I'm grateful
I have worked with a couple of financial advisors over the past few years. First started out with a guy that worked for Bridgewaters . Same wall street rippers. I then switched to an independent advisor, Pamela Helynn Kirchoff and I won't even deny it, she's been really extraordinary.
I just Googled her name and her website came up right away. It looks interesting so far. I'm going to book a call with her and let you know how it goes. Thanks
Really enjoyed this conversation between you both! I found it really inspiring, thank you!
Such a great interview! Thank you so much for this! I align with Steven’s way of thinking and definition of creativity, and his leadership style! This gives me inspiration.
So good, Ali! Love your stuff and Steven’s stuff too. What could be better?
My reflections: It felt like a refreshing change to hear massively successful business people talk about their inner worlds, what you FEEL. Especially the end was such a nice change, and much more vulnerable conversation.
Things felt a bit awkward at the end, and it made me understand why people might want to put on a brave face all the time - it's can just feel more confidence-inspiring! But at the same time I love that it happened.
I'm starting to understand the difference between overanalyzing situations and emotions, and properly internalising them.
This is one of my favourite podcast episodes. Looking forward to seeing more of both of you 😄
I was glued to this from start to finish i have so much admiration and respect for both these men for the messages they put out to the world and how much they want to help provoke positive change in themselves and others.
This was such a good podcast, two successful people chatting about it like friends, really enjoyed it
Love Steven and his podcasts DOAC❤ thank you for this excellent interview 🎉
I’ve been waiting for this episode. Always thought it would be “sick” (as Ali would say) and it totally was! Hopefully there’s another nugget on Steven’s podcast for a double treat 😉
I enjoyed every bit of this flowing harmonious conversation, thank you both legends. also about the notion & expectations alignment, noted 😊😊.
Epic 🔥🔥🔥 such a brilliant interview (both of the interviews!!) what an honour to have been a guest on the Deep Dive pod alongside the likes of Steven Bartlett 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Your interview was epic as well, Robin 😊
Ah thank you Heidi 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Amazing podcast episode and incredibly insightful - keep up the great work both of you!
Ali & Steven, two of my favorite interviewers!🙌🏼🙌🏽 Nice meeting Steven as he sits on the other side of the table.😊
Thank you! Feeling so privileged to have access to these minds. So grateful! ❤
43:31 I love how Steven started asking questions and Ali started to open up. It was like Steven was back at his chair.
It's nice to see Ali open up about his struggles with comparison 50:08 sometimes I forget how we can all experience such similar things as humans. Just because you've reached what looks like 'success', doesn't mean the inner comparison will stop 💭
I am so happy to see these people not only being a part of each other's podcast but also sharing the same studio! Just 180degree around. Awesome!
Steven was completely right about how happiness is a function of expectations.
I'm such a planner that I struggle with it. When you optimize for the best outcome, expectations then naturally increase too.
This was an absolute treat! What a banger of an episode, this is the most valuable content I've seen to date. Thank you Ali, Steven and Team.
My faves are talking to eachnother!!!!
😭😭
there's nothing more satisfying than seeing 2 bros vibing and celebrating each other.
*calmly continues watching with vigorously waving glow sticks inside*
Steven has got to be one of the smartest people I've ever heard
This is the tag team I needed to see. So much gold in here. Thank you both.

My deep respect for both of you. I was just watching Stevens channel and it was actually just as if I was looking at like a temple where people would come to anchor recognition for their deeds and talents and to tell their story to inspire others. Have a wonderful autumn and all the blessings!
Love how switched the interview and ended up becoming the interviewer..
Steven and Ali, huge appreciation for you both 🙌👏 You guys are both brilliantly succinct at conveying your insights, so always feels like time well spent listening to what you have to say!
I enjoyed this episode so much! Thank you Ali and Steven!
What an amazing episode! Thank you both Ali & Steven 🙏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻
Thank you for this interview Ali both you and Steve are my Fav podcasters to check out interviews and or your other channels… so this was Great!! 💜💜✔️🤗
That is so awesome 👏🏽 I feel privileged to be able to see this interview. I have so much to hear/learn from this interview❤
Thanks for the relationship review template, and the great content!!!!
You are both awesome. I watch both your channels and appreciate your advise…
Whichever seat you sit, Steve, you ask questions from your host or your guests. That's an inquisitive mind and lesson for me on the willingness to learn no matter how much we know.
I usually don't comment on videos, I may type and never post, but I changed that! I stepped out of that habit inspired by your book, The Diary of a CEO I just got.
I started reading, sometimes tear in my eyes, excited, challenged, and encouraged. Sometimes, I read again the law and concept you talk about that isn't clear to me. In all, it just feels like you are speaking to me directly and addressing the main points to my journey.
I'm an immigrant from Nigeria living in the US with my family. I launched into digital marketing/business, which in my opinion is seemingly unconventional for my race, gender and status
It's a new phase, and I am grateful for it and for your wisdom you have shared. I followed and watched your videos as much as I could. I'm learning and applying the wisdom to be better and be a blessing to many, too
Thank you, Ali, for this interview. I had always wanted Steve to be on the "hot seat." 😊 I wanted to hear his journey, and here it is 🙏🏿
Ahhhh I already had my schedule for the day but iv gotta squeeze this one in 👀 👀👀 Gona be an epic collab
Lovely Podcast and my Favourite
Absolutely love love this conversation!!! Very insightful ❤
Thank you I have made lots of notes, really enjoyed this. Sally
I throughly enjoyed this conversation ☺️ Appreciate you both and all the wisdom and insight you share ❤
I love all of Steven's interviews but this is probably the best one I've seen! Bravo 👏
Great episode, very interesting to hear the conversation between two people who have helped me learn more about life.
Well done on this
Steven ,i do love you and your podcast❤ I respect you personality the way you express your opinions and feeling, so smart, Ali you are special too❤ i have been learning a lot of things from you guys, 🎉 keep growing together, Thank God that gave me to learn this English and develop myself as a person❤ Alhamdulillah
best episode ever!!! Huge fans of you both.. thanks for this conversation ❤❤ still waiting for my book tho, cant wait!!!!
Reminds me of quote "Don't let school get in the way of your education" or something like that by Mark Twain
i take so much out of it. think you ail and all the team appreciate it
This is one of the very few self-help channels that’s genuinely worth watching. 10/10!
Love the relationship chat exchange ! Treating the realationship like a business with reviews and action points ! Fantastic
OMG I WAS WAITING FOR THIS CROSSOVER!!! I'm so excited
Absolutely loved this episode and gained so much insight and inspiration. Thank you!
I’ve listened to many of Steven’s podcasts. It was so delightful to hear you interview him and learn more about him more in depth.
Enjoyed this! Been waiting for this!
This is awesomeeeee!! Two of my favs together! thank you 🙃
Glad to see Steven in the interview chair. Excited for this. What a crossover!
I loved it, guys❤️So many take-home insights. I'll be thinking about the point about comparison and time for a while.
I’m overly excited about this episode, I wish this interview with you had happened long ago! 😃 this is a brilliant overview of some key concepts in DOAC - 33 Laws of Business and Life. As an avid reader of the book, there’s so much more in it so no spoilers here.
Acronyms, completely my thing. I use them to enhance memorability. Alliteration, a technique I love for communicating concepts I hope are embedded. There are different ways of doing things and depending on the situation (logic applied always though) it isn’t necessarily one way that can always be right. Squats, also my thing. Interesting to hear of different perspectives on…things. 😊 Steven is incredibly mature for such a young person. His focus, determination and bravery in approach to business is inspiring.
This is such an awesome interview. Love both Ali and Steven. Such intelligence and brilliance ❤
Loved this collab!
Naija to the world! Steven is half Nigerian! 🇳🇬
HE FINALLY gets interviewed, by fav podcaster ever, such an inspo
I’m 68, a female without college. If I could change one thing- there would have been podcasts in my early days. I loved to read back then, but being able to hear the pauses and inflections in your conversation makes your takeaway so much better and true to what you are thinking. Loved this so much. Thank you for being fearless in sharing thoughts and feelings that have helped and ones that challenged you.
Love the play element. I use this a lot in my job, humour and lightness, the students say my careers interviews are enlightening and fun!
Ali, regarding not enjoying going to the gym,
It always amazes me how people think we all have to be doing the same thing aka going to the gym but we forget there’s so many other activities you can do other than going to the gym to stay active and fit that you actually enjoy: swimming, calisthenics, cycling, basketball, hiking, jump rope etc. etc.
I had to acknowledge this myself
On Power, Play and People, I think that because Steven only does things he wants/likes to do or has pleasure in them, he didn't equate adding something like play to his list of 5 things. Play is almost embedded by default in the things he does. Thank you for this conversation - I just noticed I'm commenting halfway through the podcast! 😅
I thought the same thing, and I also paused at 42:47 to read comments because I thought that distinction was very interesting 😅
Loved this - lots of gems to take away from you both.
I am in awe of this conversation! This is a masterclass in accepting who you are!!
It's inspiring to see how flawed you both can be in some aspects and how open you are about it. Also inspiring are the systems you have for everything. Ali, I have that inclination for threes as well. Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone.
I just wanna gain all the knowledge Steven & Ali have. I would love to be a fly on the wall of all their meetings. ❤
