Thank you! Needed to hear this!!
My first Job interview as a nurse they asked me where do you see yourself in 5 years? I said a senior sister! All of the burst out laughing ! I became a senior sister in 4 years and become successful in two different specialty and with Dyslexia!!
I was a single black mother! My daughter gave me that fire!! And I am now a National award winning Nurse Consulant 💥
So happy for you, keep shining !!
I bet none of them are laughing at you now, Janice. More power to you. Love to read the stories of people who overcame adversity to be successful. 🔥
One of them still keeps in touch and actually has not moved from the sam position!! I am 3 grades higher than her now! And she says she is so proud of me!!! X I keep motivated
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yeah that's gangsta as hell well done
Thank you Steven ❤ I really enjoyed sitting down with you!
Making Move as always xxx
Love Charlie as a up coming artist you gave me some inspiration! Priceless
I wanna know who came back and thanked you for not releasing their music
I cried watching this Charlie ❤ What uv managed to do for all of us in the UK who are passionate about our amazing artists is beautiful and we're truly blessed to have u.The US got Funk Flex, we got our Charlie Sloth 😀we win lol.Congrats dude u really deserve all the good things life has to offer ❤
@@Dumpercoin same 😂
Fire in the booth launched so many careers. It’s actually mad. Charlie is a pioneer in Uk urban culture.
It’s facts
Oh come on, Fire In The Booth was just the follow up to Tim Westwood freestyles. Charlie done well to carry Tim’s torch but he didn’t pioneer anything
Pioneer! LMFAO. You really know nothing about black culture. He totally ripped off Tim Westwoods persona. Charlie hasn't done anything that hasn't been done before. Fire in the booth is a rip off from what Westwood was doing and what was happening on the streets for years. Only someone who doesn't know black culture will make this comment.
As the comments below... Tim Westwood was doing this years before. If you don't believe please check youtube and you will see everyone lile skepta, giggs, wiley , kano etc
"Charlie is a pioneer in Uk urban culture."? Ppl forget about the Lord of the Mics series. Elvis and appropriation comes to mind.
Such a humble nice guy. Charlie came to speak quickly at a youth club launch in MK after we had issues with gangs/ knife crime. He'd literally just flown back from somewhere and gave what little time he had to spare to share some wisdom. Those young people really felt seen and took his words into life with them. Wish you all the best and more blessings. Loved this interview.
Im only 30 minutes in and already super motivated by Charlie’s story. Even though i ain’t successful ‘yet’, i almost feel like i relate to him a lot. It gasses me for the future💯📈
@TheDiaryOfA-CEOno don't cause he's a scammer
@TheDiaryOfA-CEOwhere's your content on your channel mate.... Ha ha ha ha ha ha...
In a parallel universe, Steven just made his debut on fire in the booth.
Hahaha
😂This is possibly the best comment i've ever read haha xxxx
@Helen M I laughed my head off reading it too 🤣
@@Glint_Eastward 😂😂
Lol😊 . Top comment.
Charlie is the kind of person most everybody loves to see winning. Top man. I wish him all the best for the future. Very insightful and inspiring interview. Keep up the great content. Great stuff.
Didn't realise how smart Charlie Sloth actually is, fantastic interview and role model to young people
Of all the podcasts, super rich, professional speakers, influencers etc. I’ve listened to, I think this was one of the most inspiring…! Well done 🙏🏾
Charlie is a superb communicator, he speaks with passion and energy and gets his point across so succinctly. I don’t think I even heard one “er” or “um” in the whole interview…
21:47 😅
This was brilliant, very inspirational. As a soon to be 40 year old father of 5 who is going through a difficult time right now this is exactly what I needed to consume right now. Thank you Charlie and Steven.
5 kids!? No goals!? Maybe you should have planned better
Come on man
@@miamitten1123where did he say he had no goals?
Fire In The Booth is a landmark of UK Culture 🔥
Definitely. And I salute Charlie for the graft. But is this not what Kayne west said? Jewish people owning black culture when it don't belong to them
@@mrtaylorthevideocreator6840Charlie ain’t Jewish. He grew up in that environment and he put on a lot of Black artists.
for the youngers
@@kingdomrun Charlie's in a predominantly black culture, what are you on about? Dr Dre put on Eminem.
@@deanel-sid7555 Well done for stating the obvious.
Wow! I was not expecting that. Charlie you are an inspiration. I knew nothing about you coming into this episode, but I was blown away by your humility and humble nature. So many takeaways for me to work on. Thank you for your honesty and candour. Thanks Stephen, another amazing episode. 👍😎
Wow.
Thank you so much Charlie!
What a man!
Never been so captivated by a DOAC show until this one.
So real
Felt like you was so humble and willing to share things to help others.
Amazing steven the guests really do get bigger and bigger!
Such a good story!
Thanks so much
It's my dream to watch one of these live and to meet you.
I hope it happens
What an amazing interview, I'd never heard of Charlie Sloth but thought that was one of the best interviews (of the ones I've watched on your channel) to date, I stayed to the end which says a lot!
He’s an outrageously eloquent speaker. I could listen to him talk for hours
Its funny because when he is on radio or Instagram he sounds like a clown. I definitely prefer him speaks like this
yeh an eloquent road man get me FFS LOL
He really isn't 😂 He said about 120 double negatives in this video. FINK, FINGS.. FREE FREE FONGS.
Hands down one of the best podcasts imo great interaction between you both this is how it’s done and Charlie came across incredibly well mannered,professional and well deserving of where he is today!
That was an effing awesome episode, Fire and the CEO. I'm an old skool Hip hop head, love fire in the booth, never knew sloth was such a DON, intelligent, articulate, passionate and truly inspirational, they should have some of these episodes as lessons in schools, who wouldn't be inspired and motivated after listening to some of this in your day. Superb Content.
School sets you up to be stuck in a 9-5
I had never heard of fire in the booth or the vodka but this is by far one of the best episodes. Thank you so much Steven for introducing me to Charlie. He is truly inspirational. Amazing!!
What vodka? Smirnoff tops all the charts in UK
Sorry but I just need to comment again. It literally is taking me the whole day to get through this interview, as it is a total foreign world to me, as a 57 year old woman living in South Africa! I had to pause and research the people Charlie is talking about. A whole new world opened up to me!! I shared it with all my Hebrew Messianic friends and family. If any body out there is depressed or suicidal this is the podcast to listen to. I have stage 4 cancer and is literally in 24/7 excruciating pain!! I have been through two very traumatic experiences over a time span of 10 years!! I am putting up the fight of my life not just with my health but also because of what happened to me. This I have downloaded and I will listen and watch it every time I feel sorry for myself. I know the protocol to follow to get healthy the natural way. I am struggling with smoking cigarettes which is the number one cause of cancer. Steven I do not know how to thank you for this broadcast? It is worth more than any money in the world. Thank you. May YHVH bless you and keep you. Amen.
Are you still alive?
yes barely. YHVH can heal me. I am trying to find fenbendazole but it is not available in South Africa. doing a lot of research as God opens up wisdom to me. Shalom @@bermudatriangle2036
Charlie Sloth is a young man who has achieved so much for the rap and hip hop scene in the UK. He is so creative and has so much vision, which has been key to his success. He also has a real presence and it's so nice to hear that he is heavily involved in helping the less fortunate kids of today. When Fire in the Booth became very popular from 2010 and onwards, that is when so many people started to seriously take notice Charlie, such was the success of that show. Steve, your youtube channel is also always of interest to me, you always have so many interesting and inspirational characters on your channel.
This gentleman moves in a world that I am almost completely unfamiliar with and I'd never heard of him but the joy of this show is that if a person is a guest then I will definitely have a listen. What a fascinating and inspiring story! So many people are full of gloom and doom but here is evidence of all the goodness and positivity going on in the world - bravo! Wishing Charlie every possible, continued success. Thank you both for a great conversation X
likewise & completely agree
Well done
You really live in a white bubble. Don’t you Dawn.
I’ve never heard of Charlie Sloth, Fire in the Booth or AU vodka!! But I trusted in the Diary of a CEO process for THE best interviews - what a fantastic episode! What an inspiration 🖤
Same here but another great conversation
CZcams bbc....spittin and shottin...life of charlie sloth befofe the fame!
I only saw him in a property show about 10 or 15 years ago.
Very proud to be British and a Londoner thanks to Charlie sloth. You’ve introduced me to soo many artists and brought them along with our culture to the mainstream media
Thank you Stephen for another injection of positivity, wisdom and inspiration. These conversations have never been so needed. Your guests are so relevant, 100% on point as always. Thank you 🙏🏾❤️
tbh, the variety of your guest just blows my mind, when i see your guest im often like "yeah! i dint think about interviewing that person but it makes sense". Well done!
Charlie is a legend! Thank you Steven for another gem of an interview 🎉
Thank you so much for listening ❤
@@TheDiaryOfACEO please get ghetts on here you've had wretch but get ghetts please
Get ghetts or get gots
Wow what an amazing person. I always feel so inspired and motivated by these conversations. Knowing that your childhood and background doesn’t have to hold you back, it actually can be what pushes you to be even more successful is the words of freedom for me.
One day people will see what I have been visualising. I will be so successful with helping people be successful and feeling into their own worth. I will be sat across from you on the other side of that table telling you my life story and how I changed the trauma into inspiration and success ❤
Absolutely amazing interview, this is definitely in the top 5, I loved every single word Charlie said and every question you asked him. I didn't want this conversation to end, I think this is the first interview that I'll have to watch twice. I'm so inspired right now I could scream. Thank you soo much Steve, you always deliver.🙌🏾🔥🤜🏾🤛🏾
I must admit I never liked Charlie years ago, then I watched tower block dreams and i did a full 180 on him…. He is the creator of a monumental turnaround story, clearly a very smart individual with a lot of drive. One of the few good role models to young men in this country 💯
I wish I saw this exact interview with Charlie Sloth 10 years ago. I would have made different choices. I feel happy that young people have the opportunity to see it now including people like me that still have choices and can start again. It is never too late. ❤❤👏👏👏👏
Charlie should be a big inspiration to any artist, they way he has reinvented his self and done so many different things is the music industry is very impressive and motivational. 💯
I am so amazed at the guests you have. I don’t know some of them, but watch with awe and amazement. They certainly give great advice which in my opinion is needed for the future generation. They need motivation and to be told nothing is impossible and they are good enough. I was told by my parents there is no such word as can’t! Start as you mean to go on and I have applied that to the growth of my son who is now in Uni. Yes, I’m so proud. Thank you, love this Channel 😌
"Thank you for the contribution to the world!" booms an enthused and dramatic voice, as a thunderous applause echoes throughout the sold out arena. The audience is filled with emotion; proud of what this individual has done to not only better their lives, but more importantly, to make the world a better place. Their accomplishments have been nothing short of amazing, and to recognize them in letting them know how thankful people are for their hard work feels all too deserved. This individual has brought about an overwhelming air of hope and optimism that resonates throughout all four corners of the globe-they are sure to be an inspiration for generations to come.
I have no idea who Charlie is and just found Steven's podcast 4 days ago, but I can't stop listening. Such an inspiration for even OG's like me.
Thank you both. I was moved to tears more than once. Keep being authenticly 💯 you and sharing the good and the bad in the process.
Listen again to what Charlie said about BRANDING - he gave a masterclass in less than 15 minutes! This guy is the REAL DEAL, for real!
This was a fascinating insight into the bright mind of Charlie. An incredibly switched-on marketeer and successful self-made entrepreneur. This definitely took me by surprise and I applaud you not only as one of my hero's in the music space but also as a man and making a life for yourself. Well done, brother. Continue shaping generations to come for the better. Always a legend, my guy!
The interviews happen so often I dont find the time to listen to all of them, but I am glad I listened to this interview with Charlie Sloth. Different perspective, had never heard of Charlie, fire in the booth or Au Vodka. Glad I did. Thank you
Got to rate him for what he’s done for uk music especially uk rap.
I’m from the same area and to see someone from the ends achieving so much is inspiring!!!
He’s took it to another level and has a lot more to come.
Big up NW1 and haverstock.
Keep winning bro 😎
Black music....get it right 😁
jimmy savile was the first uk dj to use 2 turntables , which makes him the inventor of uk hiphop!!! looks like hes handed the rains over to a fellow unregistered sex offeneder .... yay well done charlie !!
Steven, only the 2nd interview of yours I've watched (the 1st, Louis Theroux). Being an old school hip hop head, I looked forward to this, and was not disappointed. Another wonderful, honest and revealing discussion. You're a great interviewer, and you have a new subscriber. Well done, man.
Loved this chat!! what a guy Charlie is!! Loved his show on radio and fire in the booth but what a story he has about his life! Wow inspiring 👏!!
Aww I think this has gotta be the best one yet ❤ Big up our Charlie , he's achieved so much and I love him.What he's done for british rappers is beautiful n as someone whos passionate about hip hop music ,tht means the world ❤Thank u Charlie xxxx
Throughout this interview, it constantly reminded me of all the classic FITBs like Kano, Wretch, K Koke, Akala and it reminded me of those memories especially hearing “I know you gonna dig this….ah yeah….perrrfect”
Thank you Steven and Charlie for such a great podcast, this has started my day right
I have met Kano through my job doing security he was a rude person they way he spoke to me an other people he could take some lessons on manners from Stormsy who I worked for last week very polite and respectful
Hits hard! Charlie’s been an inspiration for a decade now ❤️🙏🏻
this was and is the BEST interview of all times. I can hear and feel the raw emotion in Charlie's voice and see it in his body language! I am from South Africa and the best lesson my father taught me was; it does not matter if you are talking to the President of a country or with a beggar on the street, you treat every person with compassion and respect. God bless you guys. Brilliant.
I love your videos Steven, I watch them every Monday as I illustrate books. Truly inspiring and I have taken a lot from these videos this year. Thank you ❤
Such an Inspiring and Motivational Story to go harder for your Dreams & Goals 💯💯💯
Charlie is one of the main Influences that UK drill is spread all around the world
From UK to Europ to the Whole world Big Man Thing bruv 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Incredible man, cant wait to watch this. The Akala series is something I still go back to now.
He's brilliant, hope you enjoy the episode!
Incredible interview. So many gems 💎. I was welling up at some parts. Respect to you both. All the ingredients to greatness right here.
My favourite episode so far. So many relatable moments, with so many valuable gems being dropped.
Incredibly inspiring ❤ Great way to kick off the week. Thank you!
Indeed!
A true inspiration to young people today …so motivating to watch!😊
🙏
This was a great conversation. Self belief, dealt, social imagination, grit and finding your bridge. Definitely sharing this with my son.
It's amazing how connected we are as humans. I know nothing about this guy and although he lives on the otherside of the world I relate 💯% to his emotions as an aspiring music producer. This is inspiring and Steven your doing your Mutha Efen thing right now. A Great platform that's creating a new lane of It's own. Thank you and Much Ra Spect👏🏽
Stevens interviews always manage to reveal the real version’s of the guests personalities. Big up Charlie Sloth 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Such a brilliant interview, made me feel motivated for the day.
One of the realest interviews I’ve seen in a while… Big ups to the both of you. Fiya in the PodCast💥✊🏿
Loved it! One of the best episodes in 2022. I ‘love’ the rags to riches story! Loveeeeeddd it. Grit and passion plus hope! I left more than 5 comments lol! Thank you Steve! Charlie! Thank you this was ‘beauieful’ 😂❤ in my SE London accent x. It was beautiful honestly ❤️! Inspiring and encouraging! More success ❤!
Amazingly articulate helping to debunk council estate stupidity
How do I apply for a diary cannot find link have a disability and I watch every podcast because I like the positivity and notion of person responsibility
Where
Can’t see it
@@sineadodonnell986 only bigots think “council stupidity”. He didn’t need to prove anything to fools like your or anyone else who thought less of him.
@@miamitten1123 I don’t know what to say I know he doesn’t know who I am but I’m not sure you do either but enjoy the rest of the day
The comment Charlie made with regards to his mother being the cleaning lady. I 100% relate to this. My mum was a cleaning lady. Treat everyone with respect.
I really enjoyed this podcast, I think you’re just a whole nother level of open minded. Your ability to bring stories out of people is just incredibly inspiring
Top video yet again, john boy. Nothing better than coming home from a hard days work, and to unwind watching your videos.
Top stuff
Good morning from Nigeria Steven
Monday motivation couldn’t have come at a better time☕️
Found your channel a little over a week ago and I feel the changes in my life already!
Thank you❤
Good morning! Thanks so much for watching, let me know what you think
I seen Charlie shouting in his Fire In The Booths and now on this podcast.
What an polite and respectable individual who has done very well for himself!
Wow what a fab conversation. I had never heard of Charlie before. What an interesting and inspiring man. Just loved him. Have sent this to my kids as a must watch. Well done Steven you bring out so much in your guests it’s so great to watch 👏👏👏
Wasn't a fan of dude before this but now I see his mentality and work he put in and I have so much respect for him now and I learned some valuable stuff from this interview. Powerful stuff. Great video
Amazing Podcast, Thank you Steven, great start to the day.
❤
I thought this interview wasn't going to be that interesting, but it's the best interview I've watched on this channel 👑
Charlie Booth I’m eating dinner and my tears are that of recognition and gratefulness for you as you are as you a human being 🙏 Remember gangsters there’s no good end to your game. You are only good potential even though you may not think that now. Imagine you are better in the future than right now just like this man now. Remember we all love you and want you to be the best person so cmon be that person right now ❤❤❤❤
Wow! I remember when this channel had only 200k subs, and never bothered to check since. Congrats Mr Bartlett & team 👏🏾
Thanks bro! Been a mad ride
One of the best episodes I’ve ever seen so far. Charlie’s a good man
Absolutely love these interviews! Keep them coming
I’ve spoke to Charlie a few times in the past. The guys a legend. Charlie your an inspiration bro and this interview has gave me a boost to continue to do well in life
This was a amazing pod cast ❤
Remember the days when Charlie Sloth was a rapper so when he blew because of him creating FITB it was interesting to see. Especially now there is Fire In The Spoof but he definitely needs back that essence of it because it's not been the same even though he has recently taken it international.
The Bugzy Malone and the Akkala Fire in the Booths got my into Grime, I've always been a metalhead - so it was quite a stretch. But seeing these artists laying out their best work in the hopes of getting somewhere, was amazing. Especially the Bugzy Malone one, Sloth says something at the end like 'you're going to be massive', and Bugz is like 'yeah??' and sure enough... there needs to be more launch pads like that for new artists. Real inspirational story in general from Sloth. Excellent conversation.
What a fantastic interview, I don't know the guy but so many gems and wisdom, i will rsh him throughly as his head is truly screwed on. Kudos to you.
You can just tell Charlie sloth is a down to earth humble guy! Much respect to him! ❤️❤️
I look up to Charlie. I'm a fashion designer from NYC, and he is very inspiring.
Jacamo is the site Charlie buys his clothes from
@@KyleSLFC loool
This made me respect this dude even more than before. I love this channel and what you're doing thank you!
One of the best episodes. Truly inspiring! Thank you Steven 🔥
Love the full circle with Wretch 32 dropping one of the best Fitbs ever
Wretch and Avelino is still my favourite fire in the booth ever. That was a special moment in UK rap.
that cleaner comment hit home- my mum was a cleaner too and one of the nicest women I've ever known. Never judge people by their job title!
Great interview. Especially the part about AU - Charlie has a fantastic understanding of marketing and buyer psychology
Great interview! Charlie came across so well in this and will have changed a lot of people’s opinions about him. Hard working, humble guy with a lot of heart and passion. Big respect to Charlie.
This was a great demonstration of how intelligence comes in different forms. Charlie is naturally clued up about marketing/branding and others have to go to uni to get a fraction of his knowledge. Amazing come up from the shed.
And yes, I think his dad blatantly moved the goalposts 😂
Yup he did
Simply a brilliant interview - what a great guy!!!
Crazy the evolution of charlie sloth since the '' tower block dreams'' programme I'd recommend it actually quite funny too the episode with sloth and skinnyman, but crazy to see where a kid from the ends with dreams has ended up massively respect that sloth, and also great interview Steven
These are the podcasts I love. U can't teach that drive, energy, hunger, fire in the belly that drives you to success
keep up the great work Steven!
Thanks Max!
Making money is an action. Keeping money is behavior. Growing money is knowledge.😊
Same here, a Transformations of £4000 to a £15,400 in just 2 weeks, He's the really best
Greatest comment . Love it .
Well said
Yeah and spelling is applied knowledge 🤣
100% true
This was everything I needed to hear, thank you 🙏🏾
Wonderful, well put together episode, first one i've watched but will be watching many more.
Was following Charley from way back, back in Being Charlie Sloth days...He helped me with confidence as an artist and him and Wretch pushed me on 1xtra back in 2010 as Top 5 to look out for. The work rate was better than anyone in the UK Urban scene. Point blank period. Incredible movements. Thanks Sloth.
Fantastic example of a person leaving his world behind on one page but on the other hand forever staying informed by his childhood.
'If your as good as you think you are ... the success will follow' - This is gold
First introduction, subscribed, outstanding interview technique, authetic and sincere in it's delivery and approach. 🔥👏🏻
Big love for CS
Thank you 🙏
