Summary

Hello! Welcome to the first episode of our very special In Conversation series. Today on the show, we are joined by one of the most recognisable business and media personalities in Britain, Steven Bartlett. In 2014, he co-founded a social media marketing agency called Social Chain, which cemented the then-22-year-old as one of the leaders in the social media marketing world. Three years later, he created his podcast, The Diary of a CEO, which is one of the biggest podcasts in the UK right now. Two years ago, he was announced as the youngest-ever investor of BBC’s Dragon’s Den. All were achieved by the age of 31. In this chat, Steven talks about everything: from being expelled from school and dropping out of uni, his relationship with religion, the reason he never thought he’d end up in such a healthy romantic relationship, what it’s like coming into money, and why he never sets an alarm. This episode was audio produced by Annabelle Lee. Big thanks to Elite Eleven for making this episode possible.
