Seems to me @TheDiaryOfACEO that you need to interview someone with another angle on why young people are having heart attacks, looking at a majority of the comments.
❤
Your credibility took a hit with me after failing to address mRNA vaccines in the context of this conversation.
Mo is right about the podcasts...Your interviews touch on such deep topics, having one a week would give me the ability/time to really digest the information. Just my take...but then I'm no billionaire so perhaps I'm not your target audience. I will say, as someone who has faced the very real possibility of death on more than one occasion, the time you have with your girlfriend may be unexpectedly shortened...do yourself a favor and use the time you have to make the most of what you have. My husband and I celebrate the anniversary of when we met, when we married and the anniversary of every month...And I know that one day I will look back and be glad we did.
Brother, you been killin it recently 💪 thanks for the good work. To Mr Mo, your mind is amazing. It’s such an honour listening to you 🙏
The irony is that human beings are trying to become machines, while machines are trying to become human
for real, great insight👍
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
PREACH!
Interesting 😮
Eh no, machines try nothing
''While life is supposed to be lived, we spend most of it planning to live it'' - that hit hard
Planning? More like living to work instead of working to live.
I'm pretty sure Gid didn't put us on earth to be e slaved as workers to make few people very rich. We are cogs in a machine, that's not living, it's existing.
Really that hit hard !
yes, but if you want to live longer and better you have to do some kind of plan.
Saved that exact line
1 year of chronic work related stress caused autoimmune disease that almost killed me. The business owner begged me to stay so I stayed until I finally ended up in the hospital. My shutting down body forced me to quit my job. It took me 3 months to build my body back and nearly went homeless. I almost lost everything. I will NEVER sacrifice my health to help someone else get rich ever again!
But will you do it to make yourself rich? While you were indeed working for someone else, you were still doing it for personal gains (money, status etc).
Yeah and top of that, when you do heal, what? Are you really suppose to desire being your higher self. " which could be someone who helps these rich scum " like you could want to be a nurse. However, you were descieved by these people and now you lost ALL DESIRE to want to help these people.
I am just as stubborn as you! I don’t know there was anyone else out there that can completely ignore your way into an autoimmune disorder. 🥴 I hope you’re doing better!
I feel this. I made half a million for a company just to see barely anything from it. All I got was stress, tears, and a mental break down. My mom died from autoimmune response to stress. So I'm happy you survived although almost being homeless is so stressful too. I hope you are in a much better place in life.
I needed to read this, thank you
“You’re releasing two podcast sets a week? Crazy! Crazy! You’re stressing yourself and you’re stressing your viewers!” 😅😅😅 funny… but I have to agree Steve.. these podcast guests pour SO much information, wisdom and knowledge into my brain that it takes a good week to digest it all! Having to keep up with two a week IS a lot to handle and chew on!…
Yes ! I loved this section you quoted. My wife and I feel the same way; we only really have enough time to properly digest one podcast a week.
I'm glad you raised this experience. I stopped listening consistently because some topics are heavy or I've had a lot to chew on; however, I am still here. I too provide a weekly program and If I follow the stats and the prods from social media, I'd be posting something everyday! ( I do not have a big following) and they say you must grow it with a lot of actions and posts. It is crazy. I like what I do and the content I share, but I have empathy for the viewers. Also, these companies will not put me on the threadmill and ruin my life.
@@dychui Yes, I feel the same. Two per week is too many to process.
Agree
Yes! One per week is more than enough. I love you and what you’re doing and can’t keep up. Have burnt out before and have clear boundaries so won’t listen to them all…
Mo's humanity, wisdom, and vulnerability is beyond precious. Incredible conversation
You are so right regarding the childhood impact on stress-I saw my parents fighting so much to pay the bills-They only told me to study hard and always have a job which I did-started as an intern with IBM at 19 years old and never stopped working like crazy for big IT companies. I am glad COVID gave us the opportunity to work from home and rebalance our work life balance. Now I put myself first!! I want to enjoy my life with a peaceful mind and have time to go to the gym. I wish I have done these changes earlier!
WFH doesn’t give any balance unless you previously commuted an hour each way - still sucks
Absolutely agree, I thank the bad thing that happened, covid, for the adjustments we made in working from home. I was working a ft job and serving at night as a single mom not realizing I had really neglected my presence in my daughter's life, and in being there for myself. I now have time to have a better relationship with her, my family, with eating right, with looking at my finances. I stopped eating the fast food I was bringing home cuz im too tired to cook. Everything changed for the better. Good changes came from a tough situation.
I love how vulnerable you allow yourself to be with different guests. You’re very inspiring And a breath of fresh air, for our younger population especially ❤❤
Hope you loved the episode ❤️
Wow!!! This is so deep. One of the best episode of the Diary of a CEO. Mr Mo got me thinking and rethinking how and why I live my life. For what??? Like he said, life is supposed to be lived and we spent most of the time planning to live ....THAT WAS DEEP. Thank you Steven for bringing such amazing guests and thanks Mo for sharing these gems with us❤🙏
I just woke up from only 3.5 hours of sleep. Not sleeping well, stress etc. Well, it’s interesting that I grab my phone and this is what I see first. You literally posted this 11 minutes or so ago. Is this fortuitous? I think I am going to like this interview. Thank you.
“entering a new evolution”. Interesting.
@21:10
Pi
Live viewing comment updates are wild. Certainly a new evolution.
"Well, it’s interesting that I grab my phone"
If we apply these life principles, the whole world will be healed! GOD BLESS YOU!
I think financial stress is everyones real problem.
Big part of it
Not the 10,000 individuals that own most of the worlds wealth!
It’s certainly one of mine.
If you can pay for your living space, energy bills, transport to work, food and occasional treats then it shouldn't be a stress. When it is look at the millions of people who can't afford these things and you'll feel better
Youre very naive then
Mo has been on this show like... 3-4 times now... and every time, it's amazing. I love his perspective. This man has RESILIENCE, as most of us know he suffered a tremendous loss of a child. I have the utmost respect for MG, and I thank Steven for bringing Mo back on.
Your team should discuss having Mo on like once a week or month and call it a DOAC 'Mo' Minute... but I'd listen to Mo Gawdat for hours.
My experience was like being at the family dining table and listening to a father and son being authentically helpful, loving, and kind to one another. Thank you for the gift
Now that I'm more deeply into this encounter, I see how true your words are. There's an expression on Stephen's face I've never seen before. It is young, listening, heeding. It may not slow him down right away, but the seed is planted.
Lovely observation !! ❤
THIS! I ADORED the love between these two Soul Brothers ❤
Excellent conversation on STRESS. People stay busy for STATUS symbol and fear of spending alone time with themselves for the demons that will arise 👏🏽
The truth! #blackexcellence
“What is the bullshit I’m telling myself?” Wow I’m impressed, Steve sure is a rare gem
Steven is brave to br so vulnerable and genuinely interested in what his guests can share.
OMG. If this podcast does not change your life and open your eyes, I dont know what else will. Thank you for sharing this.
I learned how to practice happiness because of Mo Gawdat. I taught myself how to keep on going in spite of the difficulties of life also because of him. Thank you so much Mo and Steven. My life has grown a lot easier because I listened to the two of you have a conversation. I am open to learning something new in this episode.
lmao i learned to turn my back on just about every single thing on this shit hole.
Other podcasts with Mo that you liked? Thx
Mo alludes to the root cause of our society being more stressed than ever and what I’ve gathered from what he is saying is that it is essentially down to capitalism. The irony is, Steve is an example of someone that benefits and helps uphold the systems that is causing the stress Mo speaks of.
Mo kinda does the same. Self-help as a whole is pretty much psychology serving capitalism. Any therapist worth their salt knows self-help is very limited and won't do much more than give a motivation boost. However, it's profitable as heck
Maybe it can be and both and maybe the food for thought is powerful enough to counterbalance at times. Or not. However, for me, without thinking about the people themselves and whatever else it is they are doing, listening to this conversation was very impactful. One day at a time huh.
@@janeyt2011 respectfully, but isn’t that just an example of treating the symptoms without curing the disease? Steve has spoken about the adverse impact of AI yet he’s investing in a company which creates AI audio content, all in the name of what? Profit, and all at the expense of what? A particular group of people that can be exploited.
@manx1261 yes fair enough - tbh I was thinking broadly and don't know the ins and outs of it all - so probs best not to comment 🙂
Hey Mo's Back! I had to quit the best job I ever had because of anxiety and panic attacks. I just remember constantly wanting to excel but couldn't because of the environment. The pre-work anxiety was unbearable.
I've recently experienced the same thing... I feel you!
I did the same 😅
I did the same and found a more relax job atmosphere there’s no constantly stress and I get to enjoy my days and my life daily… i knew it was time to change and I did ❤
Same here
Same here! Was signed off for 15 months due to work related stress due to toxic work environment Never again will I allow any job to stress me out again.
Best interview EVER!
Do one episode like this a month, enjoy the immense impact you create and reduce the stress in your own life.
That’s real success!
We don’t need more money, more power, more status, more productivity, more efficiency, more “things” in our lives…
We need more fulfillment, contentment, peace, love, appreciation, gratitude and joy- and these things cost nothing.
Love,love, love your show…
Love this comment. I didn’t like what Steve said around working harder to get the big plane and mansion. It’s exactly the opposite of what Mo is saying. Explains the relentless output. No need for two podcasts a week, one of the reasons I cancelled my membership.
"AMEN"
While I fully agree with the comment, I can speak from my personal experience that this path is also a pretty lonely one from a romantic point of view, at least for the time being. Women very very rarely want a man that doesn't chase conventional status (money, power, ownership of "things").
@@Vlad-bs1js maybe you'll find the rare one, sad when material and high achieved define a human.
@@gracemitchell698 Just the material bit, as the achievements are already there (still got ways to go though) but in areas that matter to me. That being said, I have not lost hope and I'm quite happy with my life. With a bit of luck, one day I will also be able to also reach my goal of starting a family.
I think what Mo is telling Steven at the end of the interview is to be a Role model for all of us. If Steven were to openly change his priorities, slow down the success chase and cut down on his workload, a number of people will follow in his example...
I thought the same thing.
Setting Limits and Prioritising the Important Stuff was the crux of this talk for me. Trouble is we just don't see this until we are in our 50/60's. Three hours of total engagement. Brilliant!
Thanks for the tl;dr. If I were on a long journey and had time to kill then I'd watch or listen to it, but I have a few days off work and 3 hours is a big chunk of the time I need to relax and recuperate.
@@JK_Clarki agree i did watch it but over 3 days
I strive to think and talk about people the way Mo does. The pure love and appreciation. It's beautiful.
If it helps. When I was trying to find out why I drank alcohol to access I was obsessed with trying to find the answer. Then someone said “if you want to know why you drink, stop drinking and you’ll find out.” So I did stop and wow did I ever find out why I drank. 😮That was 25 years ago and I’ve not drunk alcohol since the day I stopped. Maybe you should just stop and see what happens. I was told the alcohol is waiting for me if I want to start again. Same in your case. Investigations like this are not for the faint-hearted - but you will be ok because you strike me as having the heart of a lion. 😊
Never knew that when I was a smoker 50 years ago I did it to manage anxiety. And then I quit.
Bam! Anxiety and panic attacks ensued.
Wow, I lowered my alcohol intake with 90% and I totally found out why I drank, I wish I found out sooner. Thanks for these words 😊
@@joanmurphy2166 how did you manage the anxiety and panic?
@@kaynoname1125 Cognitive behavioral therapy helped a lot. Also, a book called, Feel The Fear and Do It Anyway.
@@joanmurphy2166 thank you 😊
Listen, we need to slow down. Pay attention to our hearts and remember to be grateful for what we do have. There is always someone out there that has it worse than we do. One thing I notice - there's lots of hate right now. In some cases, many cases, its warranted. Try and pray for the ones that make you angry - stay in the moment whenever you can, hold your loved ones close. Much love to everyone.
One episode a week is just fine! I can't even keep up with watching all of them.
The absolute best 2.5 hours I've spent in 2024. Thank you both for your incredible wisdom and raw honesty. This sort of authenticity is rare now.
#blackexcellence Waiting for people like this to rejuvenate and revive black metropolises like Detroit, Michigan………there’s a lot of excellence 2 cum, im sure
Mine too! Well said!
I agree. Started it on my walk and now finishing. What a Mensch
Agree! 👏 🙌 👏 🙌
The first time DOAC brought me to tears! Thank you so much for this beautiful and life-changing conversation
Prioritized my well being 4 yrs ago & cut work back to what feels tolerable (I'm self employed) & have a good work life balance now. Problem is that I'm now 30g's in debt which creates an entirely different steess. Cost of living went up so much & I've considered moving & cutting costs, have consulted 5 or 6 advisors over the past 4 yrs & there's no good solution.. there are no reasonable ways to cut costs.. so problems arise when prioritizing your well-being which in turn is bad for your well-being... it's tricky to figure out the balance which is partly why people don't try.. it's tough
There is a good solution. At the risk of sounding trite, Change your life - radically. Look to natural, not normal.
Steven. Would you choose 400k followers or 5 friends? MO’s example of scarcity over abundance exposes so much about one’s true identity.
First off these two men have changed my life drastically in the last year. Everytime I see they’re gonna be in a the pod together I feel like it’s Christmas! Cus I know I’m gonna learn soooo much!!! The message in this pod today hit hard & was needed for myself! It’s exactly what I needed to hear of all day TODAY!!!! THANK U!!! Sending this to all of my people that I love!!!
Hello, Such profound words, "While life is supposed to be lived we spend most of it planning to live it" and then a deep pause, Mr. Gawdat you hit me hard in the chest with these words and you have shifted my perspective. Thank you so much. 🌸
This hit me too
@@mariaware8445
Mo genuinely seems like such a wonderful guy, could listen to him all day. I'm glad he decided to share his knowledge and thoughts with the world. Absolutely love every podcast you've had with him.
He is exactly right! You do too many in a week. I cannot listen to the entire episode in one sitting and I want to consume all of these amazing conversations!! ❤
Steve - it boggles my mind how much emotional wealth I have gained from listening to these conversations … and you are just a baby!! Meaning I’m old enough to be your mom. 😊. Thank you for putting this out in the universe!
I love you
I love you
Well said ❤
Mo always manages to blow me away, and the way Steve guided this interview is impressive. I listen to every DOAC episode each week, and I’d love to see Steve reduce the number of episodes he releases. Like Mo, I believe (and hope) that Steve is on the verge of pivoting into a new season of his life. It’s time for him to shed the old beliefs that tie his value to an endless pursuit, making room for a life that is more grounding, fulfilling, and wise. I think he’s ready to take the time to focus on what he has long said matters to him, inspiring us to do the same along the way.
I agres
Well said!
This is so nice of you to say. He makes a very reasonable recommendation to him
THIS EPISODE WAS GOLD!!!
I am a minister in Japan helping people navigate relationships, life, spirituality, etc.
Thank you Steve for your transparency and thank you Mo for your boldness and pursuit of true happiness for all.
There were many nuggets in this podcast that I will be "chewing on" so to speak and using to my disposal in my own life and work!
Great Work!
Steve, Mo is right. More than one Podcast per week is too much. Not just too much for you, but too much for us. There isn’t time to keep up with them all. Thanks for a brilliant episode. Mo is a rock star.
This. Amazing. Brought me to tears. Resonated so deeply.
Thank you for letting me listen and be part of such honest vulnerability. 🧡
One of the most kindest conversation I have listened to..I have been my most stressful self this entire year, this is the 1st time ever I have felt this calmness in my soul..thanks for this episode Steve..it's gonna change many people's life..
2hr 53min later and my one thought is to go and listen to their 1st podcast. Wonderful interview!!
Mo is future Steven talking to present Steven …… this is soo good. Mo is really evolving as a person he is very different now.
Brilliant!
Officially the longest podcast I have entirely listened. Great chat. And Mo is right you have a way of having people want to hear you, which not many can do as well as you. Thanks for what you do
Mo’s voice and his accent are so endearing and mesmerizing!! I love his cadences as well😂 I’m hearing what he’s saying but I’m not really listening. I’ll have to come back and rewatch later😂
This has been the most re assuring podcast for me to listen to in recent memory. Thank you for helping to restore my faith in a meaningful life.
Wow! The way Mo communicated his needs to his very good friend is so informative. Using logic in relationship and having the wisdom to take care of one's own mental health first and then taking loving action steps to execute...what kind of impact with this have on relationships if we all learned this skill.
I'm so sorry for your loss Mo, its just awful so many good people passed. The fact your heart hurts is a sign of how fantastic they were, and there is a profound wisdom in your words that helps to teach us all - life is a beautiful pain and even when life is painful we should try to find the beauty in the present. Merci ewi and all the best
I don’t know how anyone can watch this and not subscribe. The scope of topics and ideas, the flow of the conversation, the vulnerability of world class people… it is astounding. I don’t know of a better podcast, or a podcast host, Steven. This is some top-shelf content that has been changing my life as I am sure it is benefiting others as well. Many blessings to you and yours Steven.
All interviews with Mo have been awesome, but this one really hit hard multiple times. Thank you both for your honesty and vulnerability. Amazing, important and much needed conversation.
Today is the third day of a long overdue vacation. I listened to this podcast twice...started at 6:30am EST. Powerful stuff. Now time to go do it. Thanks Steven.🇯🇲
Loved this sooo much.dont ever say...."I'm gonna let you go"...it's passive aggressive. I cried at tge end of this. Then I sent it to all of my favorite people
The relationship Mo and Steve have, they should have a permanent series. Once a month. Talking about these topics. It's so much more engaging when two people actually care about each other and are making their intimate 1:1 conversations, public. More please!
I wish more people thought this way, what a wonderful perspective on life
17:30 OMG this is so me right now, I'm not stressed at all, I'm a freelance artist, but taking the time to take care of myself, healthier diet (mediterranean keto), resistance training, cardio, learning, completely away from IG-fb... yet I've been questioning my worth bc of this glorification of busy
@@alexandrabcastle I'm at the opposite end of the spectrum professionally (technical work) and I also do those things. I am however an outlier in my cohort, but less so than I was in the past
in the first 19 minutes I felt like Mo was giving the story of my life. Thank you for this interview. You both are completely amazing men. This world needs more men like you.
Who are those human beings that watch the amazing DOAC podcasts and don't subscribe for more?! It's such a small price... wait, it's NO PRICE at all, to subscribe and support Steven for creating even a better content, bigger projects. I'm longing for each new episode, it's my way to educate myself. Steven, love you, keep going man!
Thank you Steven for that wonderful episode! It's one of my favorite.
Mo has spoken about so many unspoken truths that you learn while getting older, maybe wiser 😅 and walking through life seeing the world as it is and not as it should be or as we have been taught. The world is changing and we should walk through life with an open mind, heart and eyes.
Again, thank you for hosting that well balance podcast.
Should you decide to reduce your work level (not a bad idea) for the sake of having less unhealthy stress, more time for your partner, friends and yourself ..... please don't stop your podcast. One episode once a week is totally fine.
Quality is better than Quantity.
And I really enjoy and learn a lot from you and your guests.
Be your life blessed
🙋♀️
It was so beautiful to watch this. Gawdat has a deep care for you Steve. It was amazing to watch him mentor you and he receives so much joy by watching you grow. I love this Channel.
Steve, I’ve come to love your podcasts and have listened for over a year now. Find that ceiling, we’ll be here! This was one of my favourite episodes to date. Having begun to change my personal script several years ago, I found this interview exceedingly validating. Much gratitude for your intelligence, humour, and heart 🙏🏼
I love Mo and Steven, they have such a great vibe together! Laughs, Giggles, wisdom, heart-grabbing moments, so much food for thought, I mean, it has it all!! Thank you, Steven and Mo :)
This almost feels like therapy but requires radical honesty thank you
Speaking off ceilings… where in hell is the ceiling for the amount of value I receive from Mo Gawdat and Diary of a CEO podcast. This is the most amazing! 👉🏾✨✨✨ #GratitudeMuch!
Steven’s laugh when Mo says “you’re stressing your listeners” 😂
I’m so excited every Monday and Thursday morning to find your new episodes waiting for me to listen to them! Please don’t make it only once a week 😁
I LOVE Mo, he’s one of my all time favorite people/guests. Absolutely LOVE and enjoy every minute of your conversations 🙏🏻 THANK YOU
I didn't switch off, and I NEEDED this in ways I can't begin to describe. This man is truly incredible Steve. I'm so glad you know him and gave him in your life❤
Yesssss just seen preview .. ❤ this guy everything he says is accurate! Can’t wait to view it shortly thanks Steven for having mo on as a guest again . Really enjoyed the last time he was on ❤
What an incredible soul I finished this episode with tears of love…thank you
I love these type of conversations, Mo talks logic and truth that people don't like to admit to themselves. He walks the walk.
This has to be the most profound and meaningful podcast episode I've ever watched. I paused it so many times to 'catch my breath' and 'feel the emotions'. As someone who experienced burnout two weeks ago, this episode really helped me make sense of so many things. Thank you, Steve and Mo🙏🙏
Hands down my favorite episode of Diary of A CEO! Captivating paradigm shifting conversation through and through.
Thank you
I love Mo’s delivery. It reminds me of a sped-up Yoda. Such wise advice. Thank you 🙏🏻
I love Mo Gawdat each time you have him on, he's here for the honesty and always shares his entirely honest opinion regardless if the audience is going to agree or not, you know you're getting the truth with him each and every time. A quality people are consistently becoming afraid of or afraid of those that are comfortable to share in this way. It's always refreshing.
The most astonishing eye opening truthful message for every soul, “where am I going, what’s my ceiling?” MO’s message resinates in my heart. Steven, thank you for bringing the most valuable lesson which comes from MO’s heart to ours. Certainly guides us in the right direction of life and its purpose❤
I only watched this because I’ve had a stressful week at work, but had no idea the depth of wisdom that I would receive. One of the best interviews, giving sage advice to all of us (including you Steven!) 😊❤
Watch Steven as often as you can. The episodes are so rich.
I looooove Mo! Is always THE BEST GUEST can’t get enough of him. ❤
Wow, the way you two challenge each other's thinking, perspective, and lives is really engaging in a way that is rare and incredibly valuable! It is quite brilliant! I need to listen again! The way Mo speaks of loss and how we spend our time got me so hard as I recently lost my mom(mum). She was sick with cancer, and it has made me realize exactly what he spoke of as well as many other things. Thank you again to both of you for these in-depth life changing conversations! 🙏🏻🧡🙌✨️🔥
Oh my, that was out standing! Thank you both so much! What a privilege to hear such stunning intellect grounded in common sense, coupled with wisdom, extraordinary vulnerability and soul bearing. I'm in tears and feel as if I am sitting the table with you. I'm going to watch it again to take notes and pre-order the book. Thank you for this precious gift🙏
My dad day after you know what heart attack. Thankfully survived. Me at 36 week after second you know what. Heart attack. Thankfully survived. Anecdotal all you want. Never again. Changed my whole world view.
You know what - what is it?
BUMBAKLOTSHOTS
The elephant in the room that everyone refuses to discuss.
I became a type 1 diabetic right after my 2nd shot. Never taking a vaccine again
Best interview yet. A great honest friend to Steven, I hope he listens
I’m two hours in and can’t wait to continue tomorrow. I’m SO GRATEFUL you let this run so long. Mo’s first appearance here had a profound impact on me... and this already is too. Thank you❤
Mo Gawdat, what an incredibly wise man. Loved this one ❤️
Such a pure interview never ever seen it before .... 3 hours podcast is a healthy and educated podcast i would definitely re-watch this interview again when I am free 👏👏👏👍👍 you both were brilliant
This is just what I needed to hear.❤
I love this guy. I started watching this as I went to bed thinking I'll watch it fully tomorrow. Ended up watching the whole thing untill after 1 in the morning. This will change my life.
One of the most interesting conversations I've heard in a long time. It was all over the place, yet completely made sense and came together like a symphony. The personal touch of two friends speaking freely was beautiful. Thank you.
During Covid our nursery closed for 3 months. I was doing a PhD (paid by my work) and had two little kids. Then at another point in Covid it closed for a month and I was also pregnant with my 3rd. Those forced times off skyrocketed my PhD work…how weird…I did not expect that. I did a lot of thinking and got a lot done on issues that I’d been sitting at my desk not really managing to sort in my ‘doing’ sitting at the desk each day. It’s not easy to force time off to achieve this, because the impulse is to keep going, but I do have a lot of respect for these times and never fight against them.
Something to truly ponder about. Wonderful perspective and guest.
I have been binging your channel podcasts. I must say that Steven you are an excellent interviewer. You pause, let the guest speak, do your research and ask amazing questions. Your voice has an pleasant tone when listening. You give each guest so much respect it is refreshing. I learn so much with each one and I am so grateful.
Yes Steven, just do this !!!! 100% - it has such a wonderful, positive impact on so many lives x
I listened to this entire discussion, and there's nothing that I can't agree on, everything is spot on, the professional stuff, but also the personal stuff.
I don't think people realize, how hard it is, after going through such intense bad stuff, and to remain not only sane, but ever caring and mindful of others, is not easy
Judging by what he just said, the only truly busy people out there are those that work in the most terrible jobs (the supposed essential workers who get treated the worst), who are too tired to do anything when they get home. I was knacked after standing on a till all day.
Dear Stephen, I just want to thank you so much for making this particular interview happen. I think Mo is the wisest person I have ever heard ( Mo, I am so very sorry about your recents losses). It makes me want to run to the bookshop and buy the book before it sells out!! Don't be too hard on yourself Stephen, you are doing your very best and reaching millions of people , follow your intuition !
I wish you well ..Jayne
How can someone poses so much wisdom? I could listen to him all day and so humble.
Right - what about people who must work to pay rent and feed their kids and can't afford break? It is easy to say when you have money in the bank. :/

That's fair. Us Commoners are struggling for one reason or because of many reasons.

What can the commoner do? Having too many kids will put you in poverty, keeping up with the Jones will put you there too.
From my perspective, it’s not about taking a break from life and stepping away. It’s about recognizing “why you are doing what you are doing” with the respect of what you are doing shouldn’t stress yourself to the point where you are physically being impaired. Finding the balance is hard. But it could also be just taking time for you at the end of the day to center yourself and invest in yourself, just as much as you are investing in others.
I am in Umbria now four weeks hunting for long term rental. I am taking it slow, meeting and asking strangers to help me. Real estate agents say cant help me due summer demand. My husband is away and stressing me out😢 I have strangers helping me. Why old school coffee drinking asking locals to help. I refuse to be stressed and in a panic. Told my husband to stay away, stop showing me data saying nothing online. That is why l am asking locals to help😅
I feel that one like button is not enough for this episode. Very different from 99.9 percent of the advice out there telling you to keep pushing to more success fame and money. It made me cry many times and I picked up the phone and called my family halfway through it ❤ Thank you so much for this one.
That felt like being a fly on the wall of a wonderful and heartfelt conversation between friends. 🙏🏻 for sharing.
"You have this person that constantly calls you and says, 'Hey, let's go out for coffee.' And the coffee is annoying like HELL!" LMAO
Covid was the best thing that happened for me re evaluate my life and choices.
Oh goodness, every sigle time I am thinking “Steven, this interview was the best”, new podcast is coming and blows my mind. THANK YOU for this deep, sincere conversation! You and the guest made think over what’s really matters to me, what’s really important!
This is truly one of the best episodes I have watched and has challenged me to reflect on my outlook on life, priorities and the ‘chase’. Thank you!
