Steven Bartlett is a British entrepreneur who has been a TV star for many years. He resigned quietly as a Director of the company that produced his popular podcast The Diary of a CEO.

Bartlett co-founded Flight Story Group with Flight Story, the media company behind The Diary of a CEO. Bartlett was best known as a cast member on BBC’s Dragons’ Den. The podcast has become one of the most popular in the UK, with interviews from global leaders, celebrities, and entrepreneurs.

From a young millionaire to a media mogul

Bartlett is a businessman who was raised in Plymouth and born in Botswana. In 2014, Bartlett co-founded Social Chain and became one the UK’s youngest self-made millionaires. He paved the way for the next generation of Gen Z entrepreneurs and content creators. He also reflects publicly on his mental health struggles and the pressures that come with rapid success.

Bartlett launched The Diary of a Chief Executive Officer in 2017 where he interviewed high-profile figures about business and life. He positioned himself as an entrepreneur, but also as a cultural leader for a younger generation of business leaders. The podcast is expected to reach one billion streams by 2024. It has more than nine million YouTube subscribers and millions on Spotify and Apple. It is currently the 2nd largest podcast in the world, and the most popular one in Europe. Bartlett describes the podcast as “an unfiltered voyage into the remarkable stories of the most influential people and experts in the world.”

Business as usual? Or a shift in direction?

Companies House has a lot of information about you. filing Bartlett is still hosting his podcast despite the fact that he has resigned as a director at Flight Story Group. The social media accounts of the Diary of a Chief Executive continue to promote its latest episodes without mentioning his resignation. This suggests that listeners should expect more content.

What does it mean to make this change? Bartlett has a long track record of success, including podcasting, media startups, and influencer ventures.

Flight Story is a leader in podcast production, and has produced shows such as Begin Again with Davina McAll and We Need to Talk With Paul Brunson. Bartlett might see his job as finished and step back to concentrate on other projects, while leaving the daily podcast operations to capable hands.

Bartlett’s impact on podcasting, media entrepreneurs and a new breed of creators, regardless of the reasons behind his decision, is sure to continue.
