The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett

Are you using AI to strengthen your brain - or slowly teaching it not to think for itself?

Dr Daniel Amen is a renowned brain health expert who has scanned the brains of Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, and Kendall Jenner. He is joined by Dr Terry Sejnowski, a pioneer in computational neuroscience and co-creator of the Boltzmann machine with Geoffrey Hinton, a groundbreaking neural network that helped lay the foundation for modern AI.

In this moment, Dr Amen and Dr Sejnowski break down how AI affects memory, learning and critical thinking. They explain why the real risk may not be the fact we’re using chatbots, but how we use them - and reveal the simple ways AI can become something that strengthens your thinking rather than replacing it.

What if getting better sleep has less to do with sleeping longer, and more to do with your daily habits?

Dr. Kristen Holmes is a performance scientist whose work focuses on sleep, recovery, circadian rhythms and the everyday behaviours that influence how well our bodies and minds perform.

In this moment, Dr. Kristen Holmes opens up about her childhood and the catalyst to her passion for health and human potential. She reveals the overlooked habits that can quietly disrupt recovery and answers common questions about sleep disruption. Is one glass of wine really going to impact my sleep? What about caffeine? If I don't have time for 9 hours of sleep every night, can my sleep still be restorative?

Is the West collapsing, or is the planet? Political commentator Konstantin Kisin and rebel economist Steve Keen go head-to-head on the biggest questions facing the West: immigration, the debt crisis, climate change, Trump, China and the future of AI.

Konstantin Kisin is a satirist, social commentator and author, best known as the co-host of the Triggernometry podcast and the author of ‘An Immigrant’s Love Letter to the West’. Born in the Soviet Union and now based in Britain, he has become one of the most prominent voices on free speech, culture and the rise of populism.

Steve Keen is an economist, author and one of the most vocal critics of mainstream economic thinking. A former Professor of Economics, he is the author of several books including ‘Debunking Economics’ and ‘The New Economics: A Manifesto’, and is currently writing his upcoming book ‘How Economists Will Destroy Capitalism’. He is known for his work on private debt, financial crises and the failures of conventional economic models, and for correctly warning of the 2008 financial crash.

They debate:
◼ Why almost everything governments tell you about debt and borrowing could be wrong
◼ Whether a socialist government could actually be good for the economy
◼ Why AI could quietly strip away human free will
◼ Why Konstantin believes mass immigration is pushing the West toward civil unrest
◼ Why Steve thinks climate change, not politics, is the real threat that dwarfs everything else

Professor Brian Greene reveals the biggest questions science still can’t answer, whether we’re living in a simulation, why AI may deserve human rights, and what happens at the end of the universe! 

Professor Brian Greene is a theoretical physicist, mathematician, and Professor of Physics and Mathematics at Columbia University, where he also directs the Center for Theoretical Physics.

Former US Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg says the American experiment is on the brink. He argues that the country is at risk of losing its democracy, the problems Americans feel every day are not accidents, and that fixing it will mean doing the hard things almost no one wants to do.

Pete Buttigieg is the former United States Secretary of Transportation, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, a Rhodes Scholar, and a Navy veteran who served in Afghanistan. He ran for president in 2020 and is now widely regarded as one of the frontrunners for the Democratic nomination for President in 2028. Out of office for the first time in years, he speaks with unusual candour about power, war, the economy, and where America goes next.

He explains:
◼ Why he believes American democracy is genuinely on the brink, and what it would actually take to save it
◼ The real story behind the strike on Iran and the "ceasefire" that wasn't
◼ Why a billionaire can pay a lower tax rate than a teacher or a firefighter, and whether a wealth tax is the answer
◼ How AI is about to disrupt not just jobs but people's identities, and who he thinks should share in the gains
◼ What he says the administration really hid about the American troops who died

He explains:
◼ Why he agrees we are in an AI bubble, and what actually makes bubbles burst
◼ Why he believes cash is the worst place to store your money over time
◼ The five forces behind his "big cycle”, and where he thinks we are now
◼ Why he says the US and UK are already in the decline, and what comes next
◼ What AI will do to jobs, and who ends up on each side of the wealth gap

Nearly 1 in 3 American adults now take vitamin D, but Dr. Stasha Gominak says many of them are taking it wrong, and that done carelessly, supplementing can leave you worse off than before.

Dr. Stasha Gominak practiced neurology for over 20 years. She earned her MD from Baylor College of Medicine and completed her neurology residency at the Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital. After working with her own patients, she believes that nearly everyone struggling to sleep shares the same hidden deficiency, a conclusion she published in 2 papers and built into RightSleep, the method she now teaches full time.

She explains:
◼ Why she believes your skin is the best producer of vitamin D, and why she says no amount of pills or salmon can replace it
◼ Why she believes insomnia isn't a behavior problem but a chemical deficiency, and what she thinks changed when we moved indoors
◼ The role she says your gut bacteria play in producing your B vitamins
◼ Why she believes taking vitamin D on its own can burn through your B vitamins, and what she says happened when she tried it herself
◼ Why she connects the rise in conditions like ADHD, depression, fatty liver and diabetes to the same period, and what she thinks links them
◼ Why she considers supplements a form of biohacking, and just as risky as any drug if you get them wrong

The War everyone assumed was over may be about to become something far worse than we could have expected. Professor Robert Pape explains exactly why the deadliest phase of this war is still ahead, and how this could trigger a wave of terror across the world.

Robert Pape is a Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago and director of the Chicago Project on Security and Threats. A renowned political scientist, he has advised every White House since 9/11 on military strategy and is the author of the upcoming book “Our Own Worst Enemies: America and the Age of Violent Populism”.

He explains:
■ Why the US bombing campaign failed to topple Iran’s regime, even after killing its top leaders

Every founder is being told to build an AI company. Alex Hormozi says almost all of them will be gone within months, that the best move is the exact opposite of what the market is saying, and that in a world of AI the only moat left will be reality and your reputation.

Alex Hormozi is a entrepreneur, investor and author. He is the co-founder of Acquisition.com, a portfolio of 16+ companies generating over $250 million a year, and the author of the $100M series: '$100M Offers', '$100M Leads' and '$100M Money Models', whose 2025 launch sold 2.9 million copies in a single day and broke the Guinness World Record for the fastest-selling non-fiction book in history.

He explains:
◼ Why the practical businesses, like plumbing, are the real opportunity, not the ones built on top of AI models
◼ Why delegating your hardest thinking to a machine makes you weak
◼ Why reality and reputation are the only moats AI can't erode
◼ Why revenue retention matters more than marketing or sales
◼ Why marrying his wife Leila was the best financial decision he ever made, and how the right partner changes your odds
◼ He opens up about one of the hardest years of his life, in the same year he made more money than ever

1,700 Americans will die from cancer today. 70 every single hour. Professor Thomas Seyfried says it doesn't have to be this way, and that mainstream oncology has misunderstood cancer for 100 years.

Thomas Seyfried, PhD, is a professor of biology at Boston College and one of the world's leading researchers on the metabolic origins of cancer. He is author of the book 'Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer' and co-developer of the Glucose Ketone Index (GKI) and the “press-pulse” therapeutic strategy. 

He explains:

◼ Why he believes cancer is a mitochondrial metabolic disease, not a genetic one

◼ Why cancer cells feed on two fuels and the strategy his team uses to starve tumors 

◼ How a ketogenic diet could lower your GKI and make chemo and immunotherapy work better

◼ The environmental drivers quietly damaging your mitochondria

◼ How his team is keeping glioblastoma patients alive for years, and why almost no patient is ever told this option exists

Ex-OpenAI researcher Daniel Kokotajlo walked away from $2 million rather than stay silent, and now reveals why he believes there's a 70% chance AI leads to human extinction, why superintelligence could arrive before the end of the decade, and the one plan he thinks could still save us all!

Daniel Kokotajlo is a former OpenAI researcher and one of the world's leading AI forecasters. He is the founder of the AI Futures Project and the lead author of 'AI 2027', the widely-read scenario mapping the trajectory of artificial intelligence. His follow-up, 'AI 2040: Plan A', sets out how the world could still navigate superintelligence safely.

He explains:
■ What he saw inside OpenAI that made him walk away

■ Why the people building AI privately believe it's coming even sooner than the public is being told
■ What happens if AI becomes powerful enough that humans can no longer control it, and why he puts the odds of catastrophe as high as 70%
■ Why almost every job could be automated, and what that means for the next generation
■ The plan he believes could still lead to abundance and a future worth living in

UFC legend Dustin Poirier reveals why he can't bring himself to watch the arrest video, the paid deals he's already lost, his vow to never drink again, and why the hardest fight of his life is happening off the mat.

Dustin Poirier (“The Diamond”) is a retired UFC lightweight fighter with a 30-10 record, best known as the only man to knock out Conor McGregor in MMA. He founded The Good Fight Foundation with his wife, Jolie, in 2018 and now appears periodically as a desk analyst on UFC broadcasts. In June 2026, he was arrested for public intoxication at an Atlanta airport, after which he shared that he’s struggling with alcohol. 

He explains:

◼ What losing your career identity feels like, and how to rebuild when the fight is over

◼ How a childhood of poverty, detention and no father figure shaped the man he became

◼ Why elite athletes often fall apart when they retire, and what to do about it

◼ What going to therapy taught him about the pain he didn't know he was carrying

◼ The mental shift that turned losing to Conor McGregor into beating him
