Uh Diary of a CEO is Back. And I've waited the longest time to be able to say that. Here's the thing.

After season one, you wonderful people DMed me, stopped me in the street, tweeted me, and hounded me to bring the podcast back for another season. There is no piece of content that I produce that's had such a phenomenal dedicated response. And because of that, we've brought the Direver CEO back for a second season, and I've traveled Tens of thousands of miles around the world, meeting inspiring people from the world's biggest YouTubers, most impressive business people to the world's most inspiring artists. We've got an amazing mix of guests. The format is simple. This is not an interview. I want honesty, truth. I want to see into your personal diary. I want to understand you, not to advertise you. I want to hear the things that most people wouldn't have the guts to say because in a world where everything is filtered It's the unfiltered.

That people need the most. If you don't know me, my name is Steven Bartler. I'm a dropout. I got kicked out of school. I started my first business at age eighteen. I'm now the twenty six year old CEO of one of the world's largest global marketing companies, social chain. We work with the world's biggest brands. We have five offices around the world and two hundred and seventy fourtime members of staff. I'm just doing my best. Doing my best to be my best, but also to understand and navigate life. What a crazy, crazy journey it's been and it's still yet to be. After season one of the podcast, so much of my life changed. I moved over five thousand kilometers away to New York City, which is where I now live, and I moved there to focus on building our company in America.
