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.

In this moment, world-leading men’s mental health coach and psychiatrist, Dr K discusses the ways people try and fail to put trauma behind them as well as the REAL way to overcome it.

Most people who have a history of trauma will try and overcompensate in the way they build their future lives. For instance, people can try to overcome the trauma of bullying by becoming invisible or becoming successful to overcoming past shame. However, no matter what people do to adapt to the historic trauma, it still remains in the mind. This can be seen in peoples responses to events that trigger memories of their past trauma.

Instead of this overcompensation, Dr K says that you need to dismantle your worldview by slowing down the mind and paying attention to your thoughts and feelings. He believes that this awareness is a superpower that everyone is ignoring, as the more aware you are in the present moment, the more your problems fade away.

STEVEN’S DIARY IS BACK! It’s been a long time, since I’ve done this. In this episode I talk about heartbreak, grief, business challenges, relationship struggles, advice from Sir David Brailsford and protecting my mental health - all of it is unfiltered. 

When I first started The Diary Of A CEO, the central idea of the show, was to read my personal diary every week – I believed that It might be interesting to get to see inside the very personal diary of someone that was running a business with hundreds of team members, at 25ish years old, while contending with all of life’s problems, relationships, mental health challenges, mistakes, business issues, family problems, and more. So late on Sunday night once in a while, I would pull up a microphone in my old apartment, and I would read through my diary for 45 minutes or an hour.

The Diary Of A CEO took on a life of it’s own, I went from reading my diary, to interviewing other people about their diaries, to speaking to experts about all the problems that I cared about.

But every single week, someone will come up to me and tell me they found value in those early episodes, and they’ll ask me if I would ever share my diary again… So this weekend, I finally decided to give it go. This episode is my diary. The original, Diary Of A CEO.

In this moment, the world-renowned expert in Neurology and Sleep Medicine, Professor Guy Leschziner outline why sleep is crucial to every aspect of your life, and the biggest mistake people make when it comes to get a good night’s sleep.

Humans spend a third of their lives sleeping, however science still understands very little about it. Guy says that sleep is of fundamental importance to humans otherwise evolution would have removed it.

Despite its importance, Guy thinks that people underestimate the power of sleep. He’s says that too often people make lifestyle choices that ensure they will have the worst possible sleep, which can then impact everything from their immune system, cardiovascular system, and mental health.

In this moment, world-renowned fertility expert Dr Natalie Crawford discusses how to improve your chances of conceiving. According to Dr Natalie, timing is a key factor in achieving pregnancy, and she explains that the optimal window for conceiving happens around the ovulation phase of a woman’s menstrual cycle. Dr Natalie also addresses common misconceptions about fertility, including the idea that engaging in sex less frequently helps to preserve sperm. Instead, she explains that regular sex actually increases the likelihood of conception by ensuring access to healthy sperm. For those who are unable to rely on timing and frequency alone, Dr Natalie recommends alternatives such as intrauterine insemination. She also encourages women to gain a better understanding of their menstrual cycles, not only to support conception but also as an indicator of their overall health.
