There’s a lot of things human beings crave in life – happiness, knowledge, status, wealth, abundance – and most of us embark on seeking out this relentless pursuit of success without really knowing how to juggle all of our aspirations and goals in life. But what if I told you that there’s a way to achieve all of these things and have them exist in harmony, no matter who you are, or where you start out in life? Today I’m joined by the genius mind who has done just that and is inspiring so many others to unlock their potential too. Steven Bartlett is one of the most brilliant entrepreneurs of our time, a best-selling author, investor and truly engaging speaker. As the founder of Social Chain and a number of other wildly successful companies he’s reshaped digital marketing. He was the youngest ever Dragon on Dragons’ Den, and he’s the host of the No.1 podcast Diary of a CEO. In the conversation we talk about his incredible backstory of how he went from a university drop out to a multimillion dollar entrepreneur and the fundamental principles he’s learned along the way that have contributed to his success and are detailed in his new life-changing book ‘Diary of a CEO – The 33 Laws of Business and Life’. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did 🙂
