  • Summary

  • A few years ago I was a broke, university dropout, at 18 I built an industry leading social media marketing company, and at 27 I resigned as CEO. At 28 I co-founded Flight Story – a marketing and communications company, and thirdweb - a software platform, making it easy to build web3 applications. I then launched private equity fund, Flight Fund, to accelerate the next generation of European unicorns. During this time I decided to launch 'The Diary Of A CEO' podcast with the simple mission of providing an unfiltered journey into the remarkable stories and untold dimensions of the world’s most influential people, experts and thinkers. Thank you for listening. My New Book: https://g2ul0.app.link/DOAC IG: https://www.instagram.com/steven LI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevenbartlett-123

  • Moment 184: I Was Kidnapped Whilst Running The Entire Length Of Africa: Russ Cook

    Moment 184: I Was Kidnapped Whilst Running The Entire Length Of Africa: Russ Cook
    Oct 25 2024
    He became the first person to run the full length of Africa—10,000 miles in 352 days—but just after day 100, Russ Cook, aka the Hardest Geezer, faced the toughest challenge of his life. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, Russ found himself running through chaos, dodging violence, and literally outrunning men armed with machetes. With threats of kidnapping looming and his life on the line, he managed to escape and keep pushing forward. Months later, after enduring sandstorms in the Sahara, crossing rainforests, and navigating endless stretches of empty road, Russ finally completed his journey. Starting in Cape Agulhas, South Africa, and finishing in Tunisia, he covered the equivalent of 386 marathons. Throughout the journey, Russ faced life-threatening dangers—armed robberies, kidnappers, and harsh terrains. But the craziest part? After all those miles, he realised what he’d really been running from—and had to face it head on. His story isn’t just about running. It’s for anyone facing their fears, questioning their path, or trying to break free from what’s been holding them back—because that was him too. Russ unpacks all of this, and more, in his book HARDEST GEEZER: Mind Over Miles. Out now.

Very interesting

I don't know much about AI, but I am now both excited and slightly afraid, but I will now be doing lots of my own reading and research into it. I think it could hopefully be used to make a business out of, so that's whatcI will be trying.

Fantastic. Perfect timing

I sense Steven starts out quite sceptical as I did.Yet Jessie explains the simple science behind glucose spikes and their short and long term effects on our health. it has changed my outlook completely and I am a huge fan. I have bought her book and spread the word throughout my family and I have good reason as I'm sat in A&E having had a heart attack as I write this review. interestingly, our beautiful NHS are offering me cereal for breakfast, puddings for lunch and zero salads options. I'm not blaming them but their low fat education needs to change fast. the end of the book made me sob as I'm here, right now, fighting for a future and needing to say all of the things I should have said.
