A few years ago I was a broke, university dropout, at 18 I built an industry leading social media marketing company, and at 27 I resigned as CEO. At 28 I co-founded Flight Story – a marketing and communications company, and thirdweb - a software platform, making it easy to build web3 applications. I then launched private equity fund, Flight Fund, to accelerate the next generation of European unicorns. During this time I decided to launch 'The Diary Of A CEO' podcast with the simple mission of providing an unfiltered journey into the remarkable stories and untold dimensions of the world’s most influential people, experts and thinkers.

    In this moment, menopause expert, Dr Mary Claire Haver reveals what people don’t understand about the menopause. Right now, about a third of the female population of the world is in some stage of the menopause, however doctors aren’t fully trained to treat it and society is unaware of it’s impacts. A major piece of knowledge that people lack is that there are estrogen receptors in every organ system of the female body, so when estrogen levels drop with the menopause it can have a huge variety of impacts, varying from person to person. Mary believes that giving people this knowledge can help women feel validated and that they aren’t crazy, believing that these symptoms were all in their head.

    Moment 159: The Most Important Sex Advice You NEED To Hear: Esther Perel

    Moment 159: The Most Important Sex Advice You NEED To Hear: Esther Perel

    In this moment, world-renowned relationship therapist, Esther Perel discusses sexless relationships. In her work, Esther says that many of her patients focus so heavily on the amount of sex they are having, and begin to panic when this starts to change. Instead, she says that they should focus on the quality of the experience, and the connection they have with their partner. Esther believes that many of the issues and concerns around the amount of sex a couple is having can be reduced by having better communication around sex. These conversations include a partner’s fantasy life, what they enjoy, what excites them, and what do they look for in sex. Most couples have never had these conversations before and don’t realise that sexuality is a vast topic that changes with their lives.

JanOxO ,

Mo G

So needed to hear his wisdoms today. I think he touched a nerve with you too. Thank you.
Would love to hear you interview Gary Stevenson (Economist)
Jx

NoThanksOk ,

I can’t believe people enjoy this.

Self-aggrandizement at its worst. Bartlett seems to think the world revolves around him and his oh-so-glorious journey to success. Every episode is just a narcissistic monologue masquerading as an interview. There's no depth, no real insight—just Bartlett patting himself on the back while pretending to care about anything beyond his own ego. His interviewing style is to bulldoze his guests into submission. Just a platform for Bartlett's bloated sense of self-importance.

storm hair ,

Loved today’s episode with Mo Gowdat

What a superb, honest and insightful conversation today. I follow both Mo and Steven.
The message today is so important for humanity, the way Mo details the human story/plight with simplicity and clarity is awesome. Highlighting the choices most of us have, to apply conscious intention to our lives, for the good of ourselves and humanity.

I also believe a seismic change is on the horizon, for the better…but I agree it could be a bumpy ride.

Thank you both, a great conversation, I really enjoyed. I’ve pre ordered my book through Audible.
