I think we've already recorded about 10 episodes over here in LA and every single one has blown me away, genuinely. The variety of guests and conversation is astounding. I know these conversations are going to impact so many different people in different ways.

To my LA followers, if you want to come and see the behind the scenes of the podcast and watch a live recording, I'll randomly pick a few of you to come along, so drop me a message below 👇🏽

Season 1 of dragons is over and Thursdays are feeling a bit quieter. Would you want me to share some of my favourite and insightful TED Talks on a Thursday instead and maybe share my top 3 take-aways from the clip?

Last week I asked you guys what you want to see more of in this group and one of the most popular responses was networking opportunities and in-person events. I know you guys are spread across heaps of different cities and countries, so if I was going to do an in-person event for my Telegram community, I'd want it to be something as many people as possible can come to. Therefore my question for you is, what city would you want an in-person event to be held in?

Simon Sinek is about to arrive. What do you want me to ask him for you?

I saw a lot of comments asking for book recommendations and thought I might start sharing some of my favourite books more often, what do you guys think?

I'm going to start off with a book that's popular for obvious reasons, The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson. This book will make you question your thought-process and enable you to make choices that will lead you to achieve your goals. It's not full of lists and tips but instead Jeff shares incredible insights that will alter your trajectory towards your goals. It has to be one of my favourite books on the power of your mindset and the importance of compounding actions.

I've recommended it to all of my team to read too.

Let me know what you guys thought if you've already read it, or if you're going to read it 👇🏽

On the topic of reading, I'm going to give away 2x £50 Amazon vouchers for you and a friend so you guys are able to get your hands on some new books that are on your list!

All you have to do is tag your friend in the comments below to win, if they're not in the community you can invite them here 👉🏽 https://g2ul0.app.link/SBTelegram

I'm going to be offering different gifts and vouchers every week that you guys have been asking for 🙏🏽

Tag your friend in the comments along with what books are on your reading list!👇🏽

I'll randomly pick 2 of you tomorrow night.

Also, I know a lot of you have already joined the Discord server, but if you haven't, I'm just about to announce potentially our biggest project to date over there and don't want any of you to miss out 👉🏽 https://g2ul0.app.link/Discord

Trust me when I say, future you will appreciate present you being early on this...  👀

@mvrahimi78 and @bossletseb you’ve won the Amazon book vouchers 🙌🏽 My team will be in touch!

Shall we do this more often? What else would you guys want vouchers for in here?

Just wanted to jump in and say hi to everyone that’s new to this group 👋🏽 Thanks so much for being part of this incredible community.

So for some context, this is where I share all of my behind the scenes, all our projects before they launch and get your opinions and feed them back into everything we do. Sometimes I'll share voicenotes and bring you along through my thought processes with different ideas and businesses.

It’s also a space I can easily give back to you guys with giveaways, coffee vouchers, freebies and invites to watch the Diary of a CEO Live podcast in person! 

I've said it in various videos and interviews, but this is my favourite platform to connect with you guys by far and I'm so proud of this community we've built it's like one big whatsapp group chat 🙏🏽

So if you've joined recently let's get to know each other - one of the huge perks is the international reach of this community, so drop where you're from in the comments below! 👇🏽

While we’re on the topic, who wants to come to the London studio to watch a recording?👇🏽 Will choose some of you 

Might be the last time I do this 👇🏽

It looks like the podcast is playing up on apple right now (Thanks for letting us know!)

Still working fine on YouTube, Spotify and other audio platforms 🙏🏽

We've been blown away by the feedback on the Jessie J episode... if you haven't watched it yet 👉🏽https://youtu.be/-eOSj-gsAf8

I got to meet and talk to so many of you in the meet and greets on tour and I noticed there was a common theme of questions that came up that all encompassed starting or running your own business. Everything from, what should I look out for when setting up my own company, how do I seek funding and investment, what's the best way to hire people, how do I maximise my social media and so many similar questions.

I wanted to ask everyone in here as well, what questions do you have about setting up and running your own business that you need advice on? I'm working on a project to help answer and solve these for you!!

Hey y'all, I've had a few messages that an account on Telegram with the handle @stevenbartlett has been privately messaging people in my community and asking for personal details. Thanks so much for bringing this to our attention! We take the security and safety of my community very seriously and my team are working on getting this user removed.

Just for your knowledge, my team and I will never privately message you on Telegram unless I have announced you as a winner of a prize publicly in this group. Please be cautious of messages you receive online and if you're ever not sure if something is real, feel free to drop me a message in this chat or on my other verified socials 🙏🏽

A few weeks ago I asked you guys what you'd want to see on the Diary of a CEO clips channel... well, I'm super excited to announce that we've launched a YouTube channel dedicated entirely to DOAC clips.

For those of you that can only spare 10 minutes of your day, this one's for you - we're cutting down all the best parts from every podcast and sharing them on this channel 🙌🏽

We're going to pick 5 people randomly from the very first 5000 subscribers to come and watch some of our biggest upcoming guests on the pod live from the studio 👉🏽 https://www.youtube.com/c/TheDiaryOfACEOClips

I haven't done this before but thought I'd share an exclusive unseen clip from today's DOAC episode with relationship expert, Matthew Hussey just for you guys in my Telegram community.

Relationship Expert and Dating Guru shares HIS weakest quality in his relationship...we kept this exclusive moment just for you guys! Let me know what you guys think 👇🏽 Also should we do this more?
