In a remarkable milestone, The Diary Of A CEO, hosted by Steven Bartlett – the founder of Flight Story and Thirdweb, has surpassed 10 million subscribers on YouTube making it the second biggest podcast in the world on YouTube, by subscriber base, behind Joe Rogan. This achievement underscores the podcast’s profound impact and its resonance with a global audience—coming shortly after the show was named Best International Podcast at the 2025 iHeartRadio Podcast Awards.

A Journey of Passion and Dedication

Reflecting on this accomplishment, Bartlett expressed his heartfelt gratitude:

“One day, I’ll forget about—or lose—this chunk of metal, but I’ll never forget what it felt like to build something I love, with people I care about, and to have strangers all over the world tell us they appreciate it.”

The journey to 10 million subscribers has been marked by unwavering dedication from both Bartlett and his team. Beyond the numbers, the essence of this success lies in the genuine connections forged and the stories shared.

While Bartlett is the face of the podcast, he is quick to acknowledge the collective effort:

“People see me on camera, but there are so, so many young people behind the scenes that have given so much, for so long to build this!”

Team members have also shared their personal reflections. Grace Miller, Head of Failure and Experimentation at The Studio – Flight Story, remarked:

“You don’t reach 10 million subscribers by recording and uploading a podcast, crossing your fingers and hoping people watch. You reach 10 million subscribers by caring about every tiny detail…” 

This sentiment highlights the meticulous attention to detail and the relentless pursuit of excellence that the team embodies.

Lessons from Conversations

Through nearly 400 interviews, Bartlett has gleaned profound insights into the human condition:

“I’ve interviewed some of the most impressive, seemingly flawless, successful, and famous people on the planet… and every single one of them is battling something beneath the surface.”

This realization underscores the importance of empathy and kindness in our interactions, especially in the digital realm.

A Testament to Authentic Storytelling

Launched in 2017, The Diary Of A CEO offers unfiltered conversations with influential figures, delving into their journeys, challenges, and insights. This authentic approach has fostered a deep connection with listeners, propelling the podcast to its current stature.

Looking Ahead

Despite this significant milestone, Bartlett views this as just the beginning:

“We are truly just getting started… I still have 4 decades left in me to figure this out.”

With this forward-looking mindset, the future promises more enriching content and deeper engagements with the audience.

A Heartfelt Thank You

Bartlett extends his sincere appreciation:

“Thank you to all of you for the support and encouragement for the last 4 years. It’s spurred me and my team on in ways you’ll probably never know.”

This milestone is as much a celebration of the community as it is of the podcast itself.

Engaging with the Community

In the spirit of collaboration, Bartlett invites feedback:

“What would you like to see from us next? Let me know in the comments below—going to do my best to reply to everyone.”

This open dialogue ensures that the podcast continues to evolve in alignment with its listeners’ interests.

Conclusion

Reaching 10 million subscribers is a monumental achievement for The Diary Of A CEO. It reflects the power of authentic storytelling, the dedication of a passionate team, and the unwavering support of a global community. As the podcast embarks on its next chapter, it remains committed to delivering insightful content that resonates and inspires.

At the 2025 iHeart/Audible Podcast Awards held in Austin, Texas, The Diary Of A CEO, hosted by entrepreneur and broadcaster Steven Bartlett, was named Best International Podcast—a moment that marked both a personal milestone for its creator and a landmark achievement in the show’s evolution.

The award, voted for by the podcasting industry and a panel of international judges, recognises podcasts that have demonstrated exceptional quality, audience engagement, and global reach. For a show that began as a deeply personal project—recorded alone in a small room with a single microphone—this recognition on the world stage speaks to its extraordinary growth and impact.

In a post shared shortly after the ceremony, Bartlett described the moment as unexpected and emotional, expressing gratitude to the show’s listeners, team, and the broader podcasting community. “The Diary Of A CEO has completely changed my life,” he wrote. “It has helped me find my people all over the world, and feel less weird for caring about the often deep, sometimes emotional, weird and wide variety of things that I care about.”

Since its launch, The Diary Of A CEO has become one of the most listened-to podcasts in the world, frequently topping global podcast charts and featuring high-profile guests ranging from business leaders and artists to psychologists, scientists, and public figures. Known for its in-depth, often vulnerable conversations, the show has carved out a distinctive space in the podcasting landscape, offering an alternative to traditional interviews by focusing on human emotion, self-reflection, and long-form storytelling.

While the show’s audience has grown exponentially, the format has remained intentionally minimalist. There is no scripted introduction, no heavy editing, and no background music. Instead, the emphasis is placed entirely on conversation—often raw, sometimes difficult, but always thoughtful.

The award also reflects the work of The Studio @ FLIGHTSTORY, the in-house media production company founded by Bartlett and based in the UK. The studio, which now produces multiple original shows, is central to Bartlett’s broader ambition of building one of the world’s most important modern media companies—one that prioritises purpose, storytelling, and depth in an increasingly attention-driven industry.

To date, FLIGHTSTORY has launched four shows, with many more in development. The Diary Of A CEO remains the flagship title in its growing portfolio, and its recognition at the iHeartPodcast Awards signals a continued rise in both influence and scale.

In a media landscape that often rewards speed, virality, and brevity, The Diary Of A CEO offers something different. Its success lies not just in who it features, but in how it listens. And in a world increasingly driven by surface-level content, this latest recognition is a reminder that there is still a global appetite for meaningful, emotionally intelligent conversation.

The team behind the podcast has hinted that this is only the beginning. With hundreds of new episodes and shows in the pipeline, and a vision to reimagine what modern media can look like, The Diary Of A CEO is not only celebrating this award—it’s using it as a signal to keep building.

The iHeartPodcast Awards are presented annually by iHeartMedia, one of the world’s leading audio platforms, and Audible, the Amazon-owned audio entertainment service. As podcasting continues to evolve into one of the fastest-growing forms of media, the awards serve to recognise the creators, producers, and storytellers shaping the future of the industry. With more than five million podcasts available globally and over 500 million people listening regularly, the medium has entered a golden era—where voices like The Diary Of A CEO are not only being heard, but increasingly celebrated on the global stage.

Bartlett, who has built a reputation as a transformative figure in business, was approached by Prince William to become an ambassador for Homewards, leveraging his entrepreneurial expertise to encourage business leaders to support young people at risk of homelessness.

After an initial visit together to Bournemouth, where the pair engaged with local businesses, charities, and young people, their latest trip brought them to Aberdeen. During their time in Scotland, they met with local business leaders, charity representatives, and individuals directly affected by homelessness, gathering insights into the complexities surrounding the issue.

“Today was one of the most surreal, inspiring, and proud days of my career,” Bartlett shared, reflecting deeply on the experience. “Homelessness is not simply a housing problem. Speaking directly with young people today, it became clear it’s a mental health challenge, a confidence and skills issue, often rooted in family breakdown and community support systems.”

Bartlett praised Prince William’s genuine passion and commitment, noting the prince’s remarkable capacity to unite various stakeholders around a shared vision. “Prince William is incredibly kind, patient, hard-working, and deeply knowledgeable. His strength lies in listening—not only to experts but, critically, to those who have lived experience,” Bartlett said.

The collaboration has deeply resonated on a personal level for Bartlett, whose parents have longstanding admiration for the Royal Family. His mother, a proud Nigerian woman who grew up adoring the Queen, and his father, a British-born man deeply moved by Princess Diana’s legacy, were both emotional and profoundly proud upon learning of their son’s involvement.

Bartlett expressed sincere gratitude for the opportunity, recognising the gravity of Prince William involving him so closely. “The whole experience has been incredibly surreal—it’s hard to articulate how honoured I feel. I’m genuinely humbled by Prince William taking the time to seek out my perspective,” Bartlett stated.

With this latest visit complete, Bartlett emphasises that the real work is just beginning. Encouraging community engagement and broader business participation, the aim remains ambitious yet clear: shifting national perceptions from managing homelessness to definitively ending it.

Who Homewards are:

Homewards is a groundbreaking initiative launched by Prince William and The Royal Foundation, dedicated to proving that homelessness in the UK can be permanently ended through strategic collaboration.

Their Mission:

Homewards aims to shift the approach from managing homelessness to definitively ending it. Their mission is centred on bringing together local governments, businesses, charities, and community members across six carefully selected locations, creating tailored, long-term solutions that address the root causes of homelessness rather than just the symptoms.

Why it matters:

By proving it’s possible in targeted communities, Homewards seeks to inspire national belief and systemic change, ultimately transforming the UK’s approach to homelessness for generations to come.

• “Begin Again with Davina McCall”: A self-improvement podcast aimed at helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and start anew. 

This rebranding to FlightStory encapsulates a unified mission: to inspire and cultivate a happier, healthier humanity through meaningful strategic investments and impactful media.

Steven Bartlett adds another A-Player to his growing team. With over two decades of experience advising some of the world’s most influential figures, including her tenure as Chief Operating Officer for Simon Cowell’s empire, Davies Marriott brings a formidable track record in scaling high-profile businesses. She also served as Chief of staff to the late Dame Zaha Hadid, an Iraqi-born British architect, artist and designer who is recognised as a key figure in the architecture of the late-20th and early-21st centuries. She has been recruited to help to drive Bartlett’s rapidly expanding portfolio spanning media, technology, investments, and consumer brands.

Davies Marriott joined Steven Bartlett’s new company, FlightStory, a year ago and was appointed last month as Chief of Staff to his private office, ahead of his planned move to the United States, announced earlier this year. With a background in supporting British talent on the global stage, Marriott brings a sharp strategic edge to Bartlett’s next chapter.

Operating at the intersection of Bartlett’s media, commercial ventures, and investments, Davies Marriott will oversee content, brand partnerships, IP monetization, and venture strategy, as well as drive global market expansion. A key focus will be Bartlett’s U.S. operations, ensuring a seamless Anglo-American infrastructure to support him as he transitions to life in America.

A seasoned executive in entertainment and brand strategy, Davies Marriott played a defining role in Cowell’s business empire, spearheading the acquisition of the remaining 60% of Syco Entertainment from Sony Music and securing a $125 million deal against the Got Talent franchise – one of the most valuable IPs in the entertainment industry. Her expertise in scaling businesses, structuring talent-driven ventures, and securing high-stakes partnerships makes her the perfect architect for Bartlett’s next phase of expansion.

Jules Davies Marriott on Her New Role:
“Steven Bartlett is redefining what it means to be a modern entrepreneur – he’s building an ecosystem that fuses media, business, and influence in a way that hasn’t been done before. My role is to take that vision and scale it into a global force – structuring opportunities in media, technology, and consumer brands that will shape the future of entrepreneurship.”

“Jules is one of the most exceptional strategic operators in the industry. Her ability to structure and scale high-impact businesses into global powerhouses is unmatched. I first spoke to her several years ago, and even then, it was clear she had a rare kind of brilliance. I remember thinking at the time that there would come a day when I’d need her on our team. Four years later, I reached out as our business started to expand globally, and I’m incredibly grateful she chose to join us. She’s already made a profound impact.”

Jules joined Steven’s company FlightStory in April 2024 and in February 2025 joined his personal private office as Chief Of Staff and COO.

Accomplished entrepreneur and business leader Amy Golding has been appointed as CEO of Steven Bartlett’s Private Office – which consists of more than 50 companies – marking a significant addition to Bartlett’s personal investment and business strategy team. With a stellar track record in scaling businesses, driving innovation, and championing diversity in the tech sector, Amy’s appointment reinforces the firm’s commitment to fostering high-growth companies and impactful investments.

A Trailblasing Career in Business & Tech

Amy Golding, widely regarded as one of the UK’s most dynamic business leaders, made history as she reportedly become “the youngest female CEO of a $100 million turnover company” (unconfirmed) according to Yahoo, when she took the helm at Opus Talent Solutions in 2017. Under her transformative leadership, the company soared to global prominence in technology and renewable energy recruitment, culminating in a high-value private equity sale in 2021. This milestone confirmed Amy’s exceptional talent for scaling and exiting market-leading businesses.

Beyond Opus, Amy founded _nology.io, an innovative tech training and talent hub committed to boosting diversity in the UK’s technology sector. By providing individuals from non-technical backgrounds with in-demand digital skills, _nology.io bridges critical gaps in both talent and representation, fostering a more inclusive environment for the next generation of tech innovators.

Her journey began at Cambridge University, where she earned an English degree before honing her expertise in journalism and strategy consulting. Fuelled by a remarkable entrepreneurial drive, she later established a recruitment venture capital fund that grew to 130 employees and a £17 million turnover within three years. This trajectory highlights Amy’s extraordinary ability to launch and nurture high-growth businesses while championing a more diverse and forward-thinking future.

A Strategic Leadership Role in Steven Bartlett’s Ecosystem

Following her maternity leave, Amy returns to the business world in a pivotal leadership role. As CEO of Steven Bartlett’s Private Office, she will be responsible for overseeing the investment strategy across the portfolio, leveraging her expertise in tech, talent, and investment to drive sustainable growth.

Amy will also join the Board of Flight Story, Bartlett’s media and investment company, where she will act as a link between Steven’s private office team and FlightStory leadership.

Commenting on Her Appointment, Amy Golding Said:

“I’m excited to join Steven’s Private Office at such a dynamic time. Throughout my career, I’ve been passionate about growing businesses, supporting diverse talent, and driving impactful investments. This new role is an incredible opportunity to bring that experience to a diverse portfolio of companies, helping them scale and thrive.”

Steven Bartlett Added:

“Amy is one of the most accomplished and forward-thinking leaders I’ve met. Her ability to scale businesses, develop talent, and drive meaningful change is exceptional. I’m thrilled to have her on board as CEO of my Private Office, where she’ll play a crucial role in shaping the future of our investments and ventures.”

Amy’s appointment signals a new chapter of strategic growth for Bartlett’s Private Office, reinforcing its mission to nurture game-changing businesses and visionary entrepreneurs.

In this episode we discover the science behind habits, how they're formed, how they can be broken, and the fascinating role self-perception plays in the process. We explore the power of reframing uncomfortable tasks, how habits are influenced by our self-image, and why pushing yourself too hard can backfire. You'll also learn why willpower is a limited resource, how to use discomfort as a tool for growth, and why small, achievable goals are the key to lasting change.

In this moment, small business expert, Codie Sanchez discusses how speed and self belief are the core traits for success.

Some of the most successful people in the world have what has been labelled a ‘reality distortion field’. This is a personal energy that makes the people are you believe that they can achieve impossible tasks. Codie says that we actually all have this ability, and can make ourselves belief we are capable of achieving anything, and as a result we are more likely to achieve what we set set our minds to.

Secondly, people need to adopt a bias towards action and decrease the time between thinking and doing. Codie says that time is the most important currency of our lives and too often we waste it by not having a sense of urgency. By taking action quickly, you can learn and adapt on the path to success before others have even started.

In this moment, the gastroenterologist and gut health expert Dr Will Bulsiewicz breaks down everything you need to know about how your poo is one of the biggest signs of your overall health.Will says that too often we see poo as disgusting rather than a major clue of our health, as he says poo for a gastroenterologist is what checking the pulse is for a cardiologist. He says that signs can range from the size, smell and shape of poo, all of which can indicate anything from a poor diet to colon cancer. This is because 60% of your poo is bacteria and a direct window into the state of your microbiome which impacts all areas of your mental and physical wellbeing.
