Having suffered with some serious depression these past two weeks, probably the worst I've felt in my life, I just randomly stumbled on this today and was completely captivated. Depression is a weird one, and is very hard to explain/understand, but the lack of joy in anything is a big part of it. The fact the I could be captivated by something like this, is genuinely that turning point to know, that things can get better and you can be interested/enjoy something. That's all you need, just one spark of enjoyment and you can get better. This came at such a perfect time, thank you.
I hope things have picked up for you since you wrote this a month ago, having been in the same position I relate exactly to what you’ve wrote. If you haven’t come across the episode yet, look for the Mo Gawdat episodes and his happiness equation, completely changed my mindset
@@mc2554 Thanks man. Things are picking up, making some healthy changes and they seem to be doing something. Learning to put less pressure on myself has been the hardest thing and trying to handle the overwhelm of life is very complicated, but I’m getting there. Getting out in nature does wonders. I hope you’re doing okay too. I’ll certainly watch that episode, thanks for the recommendation.
In relation to around 37:30 about cutting off things/people that you're no longer aligned with is something I've massively improved on this year (lockdown especially). Literally turned my life around and despite current events, I've been able to turn everything into a positive. Going from 23 stone to about 17 this year. Friendship groups, relationships, learning and meditating and going to start Muay Thai. Sometimes we all just get caught up with the "hustle" of everything and forget to find time to actually focus and grow ourselves as people rather than just our career or chasing a new car or new shoes.
Just finished the episode. And wow, made me realise a lot and learn some things about myself and what I'm currently doing. It's so so easy to get caught up in work, especially when still working from home but finding that time and actually setting yourself deadlines and setting time away to do things you enjoy can really develop you as a person. When I first got into marketing and social media I was very quickly sucked in by the whole hustle porn facade and even found myself preaching it to some people. It glorifies working late hours, not taking time for yourself and not spending any money that you've earned. I get that this isn't they want to promote, but it comes across that way. Everyone is different. If you've got a new job and you feel happy... Celebrate, buy a new car if you want to and can afford it. Buy the new trainers that you want. There's nothing wrong with that at all, just don't go too far the other way and get sucked into buying things to impress people that you don't even like. Everything in moderation.

@@JamesMcManusMrJamesMcManus Hey James thanks so much for the message, really glad it resonated with you and well done on your own mastering of your mindset, brilliant work! Dan
the intense resonance i've felt in this episode is intensely fulfilling. Emotionally, mentally and spiritually. This pod has helped to humanise the pathway of an entrepreneur and actually sure's up my belief in my potential to create a scalable business. From the hospitalisation, the grief, the plant medicines to the similar character traits, motivations and world views ... QUALITY!
Wow....dealing with depression and anxiety at the moment, this podcast couldn’t have come at a better time. The honesty and openness was refreshing and very helpful. Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
how am I just watching this episode? came at the perfect time for me though as I've been feeling anxious regarding work, sleeping for 18 hours, lack of motivation to do daily tasks etc. listening to this podcast has made me re-evaluate where I currently am and where I am going to be. thank you both
So many incredible points covered here however my favourite was "depression relates to the past, anxiety relates to the future". Really useful to see the split. Thank you both.
I couldn't love this podcast more. I got so much from just this one episode - throughout lockdown, I threw myself into my business to the point, I forgot why I started this in the first place. Steven, thank you for introducing me to Dan, I genuinely hope that one day, I can give you a fraction of what you have given to me. ❤️
Steven’s podcasts are extraordinary. His commitment to speaking with authenticity and stark honesty about matters of business and personal life is generating important commentary and conversations. The choice of guests is brilliant. These podcasts are provocative, challenging, informative and heartwarming. As a representative of his generation Steve gives me hope for the world. I hope more and more people listen-the back numbers are well worth investing time in. Thanks Steven 🙏🏻
Really enjoyed the sincerity and lack of ego in this conversation, it was refreshing to see. I have just recently been introduced to your podcasts by my grandson and now I am hooked. What I love about them is that it doesn't matter if I have never heard of your guests they all have amazing and inspirational stories to tell. Thank you for many hours of listening pleasure and lots of food for thought.
After always representing the “what’s next?” mentality, and never feeling truly fulfilled, this has resonated with me, but also helped shift my thought process into a more positive way of being in the moment. As always, great podcast!
I found this episode after a I saw a random screenshot of Stevens twitter post. It made so much sense and I started reading through his timeline and stumbled on a comment about how life-changing this conversation was. For me, it's been the most brutally honest, non-narcissist interview I ever heard. Great to know there're people just like me who suffer intense imposter syndrome and anxiety. Also embracing your eccentricity and non-conformism. I've learned firsthand about failing and retrying, finding purpose, increasing self-worth through personal development and mentions of several worthwhile audiobooks I'll be purchasing. Thank you so much
Absolutely epic interview... can’t thank you guys enough. I could have listened to you both talk for hours! You touched on so many subjects with such honesty... made me feel human again! Thank you
Bringing it all to the table. Thank you for being so courageous in sharing so openly, it’s helping me build courage to grow and share more with others myself.
love this response, delighted to have given that perspective. When we share our truth from within, it can really take quite a load off too to be honest! If you want more of the same kind of inspo, as I'm working on my personal brand and all - please do follow me and drop me a DM on twitter & insta and I'll respond! @danmurrayserter
Brilliant episode, it took me a whole week to listen to this start to finish and digest the information. About 12 times I paused and went to research something discussed! I even changed my omega 3 vitamins half way with the incredible insight about the AHA & DHA levels required. Love how you have finished decorating the studio and that you now have the embossed diary. That’s the finishing touch that makes this new format perfect. Thank you as always, much appreciated
This was fenomenal to listen to even 3 years after it's release. I loved how the guest described relationship building, espetially because it really was the way I approached my last one (although it didn't survive, it was really the best so far). This podcast has helped me grow and keep my curiosity satisfied regularly, and helped me in all other different ways so much so far... Thank you all for creating such a space! ❤ For the camera guy: you killed it in the best way possible - I loved the shots made from the cieling lamp, and the shot of the diary at the end, you kind of ditched that at some point (as the years passed) but it is such a great visual effect, it really touches the soul on some deeper level! 👏👏👏
Incredible. Thank you both for being so honest. I’ve listened to this every day this week and my mind is still blown. I guarantee this conversation will change lives and it’s FREE. I’ll be looking into HEIGHTS for sure. Thanks Dan & Steve x
One of my favourite episodes so far! Maybe it should be posted again because it is much lower in views than other DOAC videos!! Thank you Dan and Steven for such honesty. I feel like I can really relate to a lot that was covered in this conversation - thanks for making me feel connected.
I have just finished listening to this podcast as I am starting my own business but I have struggled to nail down exactly what this/what it should look beyond "consulting". I realised my problem is, that I have two businesses that I am almost trying to merge into one. When Dan said when he and his business partner went to see a business psychologist to understand the problems in his old company, then went on to talk about Heights now being a value-based company I stopped what I was doing immediately, I knew I had found my business. I am a Business Psychologist my dissertation, passionate and drive are all-around values. Values are the smallest part of a culture, they are what drives our behaviour and what makes us feel uncomfortable when we act in a way that breaches our values. So from this Podcast I have realised I could help starts up understanding what their values are and how they can use them to drive their businesses in the direction they want, and not get lost in the noise and in amongst the shiny new "trends" that divert our attention. The second is coaching individuals on how to use your values to help you understand imposture syndrome, burnout and what you truly want to life and a career. Would love to hear your thoughts. Megan
I love how you transformed this show from audio and now audio and video. You are a gift to your generation and yes, the other generations can learn a thing or two from you.
I open RU-vid and the first video on my feed is one of your episodes, Steven, from a while back as well and I’m so excited to find so many that I 100% enjoy,…I absolutely LOVED this conversation! What a treat, really, thank you so much.
When I think about “consuming content that enriches me,” your podcasts are, in my opinion, unrivalled in terms of the depth of value they provide. Truly creates positive action. Thanks again. Rohan 🙌
They are brilliant arent they Rohan - I've been listening myself for years too! Feel free to connect with me @danmurrayserter on insta/twitter and hopefully I can add some inspo to your days too! (not quite as deep as Steve though, just to warn you!)
I suffer from imposter syndrome. I have done my whole life. I'm 62 now. I keep pushing forward regardless although it's self sabotaging and more serious and damaging than people believe.
I didn’t appreciate how powerful this conversation was going to be! Thank you for sharing this Steven and to Dan for his story 🙏 putting yourself out there online resonated a lot with me. I feel like I’ve been in that state of flux for the last 2/3 years not quite being able to get started, or not keeping the consistency.
nature is the most scientifically logical thing to believe in! Feel free to connect with me @danmurrayserter on insta/twitter for a lot more nature and spiritualism insights ongoing!
So much to take away from this episode. Love the point on learning and teaching. When there’s so much to learn, how not to make that an overwhelming experience to absorb. The perfectionist in me wants to retain it all but even just taking away a few points and working on those would result in growth. Treating other parts of life to the same depth of planning as a business is definitely the one I will be focussing on. I also found it so interesting to understand burnout from the view of under-fulfilment rather than physical/mental exhaustion. Thanks for speaking so honestly on this.
Such an eyeopening and insightful episode worth to listen many times this week. I started realizing a lot of those elements since I made redundant and how important is personal focus and growth. Whilst searching for these answers I have understood how important is a break as I "hustle" these 3 months to find a new role. As a person with a lack of confidence which comes from imposter syndrome that I encounter it daily, in job interviews and even to as you said the relationships, what tips would you recommend to cope with it? Thanks for sharing these stories! P.s: I hope one day to be able to meet you in person or even work with you to learn more about your philosophy.

Well that covered some ground! Lots of relatable points discussed and oof! That was not what I'd planned for my evening, but glad I listened to it all. Thanks for sharing 🙌
Hello Steven! It's fascinating to listen to this conversation bc many things that were discussed resonate with me a lot and I really felt it deeply. When I hear about familiar experience from other people, especially from someone who have not only overcome difficulties but who have been able to use their experience to become a person who they enjoy to be and make something meaningful for others (share their wisdom in a valuable way); moreover, stay kind-hearted, open and loving, who're conscious of their... pain/fears/triggers (if these are the rights words) and they don't project it on people around them, so such people are absolutelly amazing and their stories need to be heard. And special thank you for being so honest and sincere!)
Invaluable knowledge gained during this 2-hour podcast. As a final year student who aspires to become an entrepreneur getting an insight on so many things is amazing. Looking forward to your next episode and apply all that I've learnt soon!
Love this Stefan, that's awesome mate! What are you studying? If you want more of the same kind of inspo, as I'm working on my personal brand and all - please do follow me and drop me a DM on twitter & insta and I'll respond! @danmurrayserter
12:05 About three years... Is that just about the right amount of time to self reflect - if you spend every waking moment of it - to find an inkling of purpose again? To me, it feels like it has been 3 years, and blink, and I'm here. So much more attuned to life than I ever was before.
This was amazing! So much valuable content in just 2 hours of podcast 👏 I listened to it on Spotify and felt the need to come over and comment how great this was. Love your honesty Thank you for this! ❤
Finally had the time to stop and watch this, think this is going to be part of a new routine carving out time to stop, watch and think. So many topics covered and an incredible number of thought provoking points, so grateful for you taking the time to create and put out such high quality, raw conversations 🙏
Hey Sam, thanks so much for the comment and taking the time to leave a comment too! What did you particularly resonate with? Also - if you want more, working on my personal brand and all - drop me a DM on twitter or insta and I'll say respond! @danmurrayserter
thank you so much Dan for being so honest and helping us feel that we can have our mental problems and still be a successful entrepreneur …that spoke to me a lot. I am very keen in following your work now that i know you 😊. Steven your honesty and spontaneity is funny and the spark of your podcast. I love it ❤😊
Thank you Anand - I appreciate that comment. Feel free to connect with me @danmurrayserter on insta/twitter and hopefully I'll stay articulate and think up some new soundbites!
Hey Lauryna - glad you enjoyed it! Feel free to connect with me @danmurrayserter on insta/twitter and I hope I can continue to be honest and provide value!
Hi Farhana, hope you enjoyed the interview. Feel free to connect with me @danmurrayserter on insta/twitter but warning, my videos are no where near as good as Steve's. I say something interesting maybe once a week though so its worth it for that! 😜
So much amazing content in this interview. Thanks so much guys. I think it is so hard to find value adding content from success people, who provide practical advice so this is gold! I would like to hear your thoughts about how to get started. I feel that most people (myself included) over analyse all the possible things that could go wrong with a business idea before even starting which means ideas never get off the ground. So any content around getting started or 'analysis paralysis' would be great. Thanks again!
Fantastic podcast Some really interesting discussions around relationships truthful and honest as this is what we all should be. Does leave you feeling that the world is a beautiful place regardless.The dinner party needs to be organised!! Thank you Steven and Dan
Very thought provoking. Definitely could relate to many points as well as feeling draped by some. I must say as a Christian and someone who wholeheartedly believes in God, it was interesting even to myself to have listened to especially the bits about religion and not be affected by it. I don't think anything could shift my belief in God, however both your beliefs and perspectives were understood and respected.
Delighted to hear you got so much out of it! You can follow me on insta/twitter @danmurrayserter if you like and hopefully I can bring some more knowledge bombs!
Great episode, they always make me think. And that is all I ever want from a podcast is for them to get me to stop and think something through or question something. Not sure if I'm late for this but would love to get the chance to join you guys back stage at your next show in Manchester!
I enjoy these podcasts, from every podcast I feel like I'm growing as a individual. Confidence is a big challenge for me and since being introduced to this podcast, I think more outside my comfort area and challenge myself more. Thank you. Also new sub, came from Spotify.
Hi Kevin, great to hear that thank you for enjoying it and giving it your time! You can follow me on insta/twitter @danmurrayserter if you like for more of the same - taking Steve's personal branding inspo here to encourage the follow!
Okay here I go I’m listening to my next interview I just wanted to say at the very start of watching this Steve , you said in one of your podcasts that you liked your space ,there’s a reason why you have to have your space and that’s for all of us to be able to come in ,when we’re invited You have open the door my mum used to say to me when one door closes another one opens,all you have to do is go through,yours is the first door that I’ve seen that’s open and I’ve wanted to go in, I’m so pleased that I did I’ve learnt so much about myself I actually went through bulimia,and I understand his shame so many people that you’ve interviewed and I have the strong sense that when people say that we’re all connected ,I understand it now just by watching you and some of the people that you interviewed I understand it thank you.
@@TheDiaryOfACEO Thanks Teekam, hope you enjoyed it! Feel free to connect with me @danmurrayserter on insta/twitter and hopefully I'll help start your day as positive as your weeks!
Hi Steven, late to the diary of a ceo. I “discovered you “ by accident. By this I mean I came across your conversation with Gary Neville, which was super informative and different . I am a “red” a mancunian who lives in Cheshire 😊. I enjoyed that YT immensely, loved the banter, business conversations and course reminiscing of his career. It was different in a good way . I have today been captivated by the conversation with Daniel, engaging and inspiring, tad lack of judgment in that he supports the “ Gunners” but otherwise I genuine person wanting to contribute positively to our world. I look forward to “ playing catch up” and hopefully enjoying 3 points today away at Elland Road k/r John D
Loved his comment on the rain, I often walk in the rain not by choice but recently instead of loathing it I’ve learnt to love it and enjoy the rain falling onto my face & body. Just, as he said, enjoying the elements which is quite freeing, I allow myself to be thoughtless for a moment which can be liberating 🤍☁️
Hi, Steven Great job again. I am glad you are making videos. I was wondering what would you consider as your main focus since you are not in charge of Social Chain no more. Thanks and have a great day. P.S. I am the talk to you in 7 years guy :D
Right now, this is my focus! Making content for you guys on my RU-vid :) I'll be announcing some other things (business wise) in the new year probably! Hope you're enjoying.
Hey! Glad you thought so, I might not be a nutritionist but I've now read a ton of science! You can follow me on insta/twitter @danmurrayserter if you like for more of the science and insights on my journey!
My god the energy the honesty the realism the transparency is just stupid it's incredibly insane so deep best interview ever in 2020 period this is what being lost in 2020 its so good to have you back Steve you've been missed.... Welcome back... Too cold ❄️❄️👊🙏
Okay so, I really like this podcast and felt I could relate to both of their life views through this on relationships, health, work ethic except the fear of death subject. I understand their viewpoints but I am yet to hear from someone in media discussing death but not from the influence of religion or spirituality but from the scientific minds who find it difficult to see something beyond death (and not in the smug physicist way). The fear of death comes from a place of understanding the broadness of space and time and realising how special it is that you exist in this point in time and anyone else who is alive at the same point in time shares a special place in time together. This isn’t illogical, it’s also an emotionally intelligent and an awareness of nature view point. Feeling an overwhelming respect for your short existence drives you to make your life valuable and not waste. It drives learning, health and love. Yes it’s related to the fear of not living your life but it isn’t illogical or irrational. Yours sincerely, A triggered listener 😂🙈✌️
Interesting listening to someone who’s in touch with a new way of thinking, talking about Marcus Aurelius. My grandfather a mathematician recommended stoic philosophers as something I should be reading but I disregarded it as out dated. But what I think I can take from this is that perspective is subjective but understanding more perspectives is Knowledge and knowledge is power. Great podcast again
Hey Harry, thanks for the comments, we'll let Dan know! Wisdom is usually ageless, so we think you might enjoy a lot of stoicism, whether it's cos your grandfather says so, or cos Dan does on a podcast! If you want to try Heights, we made "CEODIARY" code for £10 off a quarterly sub, for all of Steve's listeners 💚at www.yourheights.com 🧠
Glad you enjoyed this Harry, your grandfather sounds wise too! Feel free to connect with me @danmurrayserter on insta/twitter and hopefully I can share more philosophy and ancient wisdom with you there!
I'd love these two to have this conversation again in ten years time when they have a couple of children each. How they'd feel about death, infidelity etc.
25:00 of the video was really important for me to hear, my biggest insecurity (putting myself out there online) could be my biggest opportunity. I was lucky enough to be a Virgin Startup Ambassador when I launched my first company and I loved public speaking and helping people when I could. But since that chapter in my life, I've found it almost impossible to build my personal brand online and define how I want to put myself out there. Great insights Steven and Dan!
Epic content as always 🙏 On the topic of anxiety/imposter syndrome, have you ever had moments where you’ve thought ‘I don’t trust myself’? I don’t just mean self doubt, I mean, you’ve gone down a path/followed something/someone without any doubt to only end up regretting the decision and then questioning whether you can trust yourself again when at the time, it all seemed right, and you couldn’t believe you didn’t ask X, Y Z? Does that make sense?
I echo what a few other people have said but the bit about nutrition was super interesting. Something after a moderate level of reading about anxiety and sleep loss etc that I hadn’t stubbled upon before and actually makes a lot of sense. Again as always super interesting conversation - I really enjoyed the length of this although I did listen in 2 sittings. 😀
Love this, thank you so much for the amazing comments, and I'm delighted that nutrition is high on your agenda now. If you want more of the same kind of inspo, as I'm working on my personal brand and all - please do follow me and drop me a DM on twitter & insta and I'll respond! @danmurrayserter
Great podcast thanks for this guys some good talk. Yeap balance in life is so important work hard and play hard. What i found is i was working hard suffering to enjoy and even getting the thing i want i was not enjoying it and left a sour taste. I find this is why balance is important. Also doing work you enjoy and the relationships and friendships you have where you can be yourself without a mask is very important to me. One question I do have is what is love?
Thats the difference mental health is your well-being, mental illness is the disorder/condition you have which can be depression. So a person can be healthy but have poor mental health. 💚💚💜💚💚 Shame and guilt is painful reason we are silent 😪 Look forward to these weekly. Thank you so much!
