About this episode

How you do anything is how you do everything.

Steven Bartlett embodies this old adage.  His high standards and focus on the finest details launched him from a broke university dropout to one of the world’s most influential entrepreneurs.

At 30-years-old he has already founded multiple companies, starred on Britain’s hit tv show Dragon’s Den, and he is now the host of one of the planet’s most popular podcasts, Diary of a CEO.  

He is a leader for the new era. It was a joy to turn the tables on him and have him talk about himself for a change. 

His new book, Diary of a CEO, is available for pre-order now. 

This is…a Bit of Optimism.
