"This Podcast has been an important source of inspiration for me. Not only because of the high production value, but because of the depth and vulnerability in the conversations. It showed me how powerful a podcast can be when it dares to slow down and ask the right questions. It’s made me rethink how stories can be told in an authentic, thoughtful way."

The Diary of a CEO is a polished, introspective interview series where host Steven Bartlett explores the inner lives of entrepreneurs, artists, and thinkers with a calm, searching curiosity. What sets the podcast apart is Bartlett’s ability to draw out emotional depth without straying into spectacle—his interviews are deliberate, spacious, and quietly intense, more therapy session than media junket.

While success and ambition are constant refrains, the show is as much about doubt, failure, and resilience as it is about achievement. Bartlett’s own story as a young founder lends the podcast a sense of earned authority, but he rarely dominates the conversation—instead, he listens closely, allowing vulnerability and insight to emerge organically.

With its clean production and thoughtful tone, The Diary of a CEO manages to feel both intimate and aspirational, turning personal reflection into something quietly universal. It’s not just a portrait of success—it’s a meditation on the cost and meaning of it.
