What a fascinating episode! Thanks Walter for sharing your knowledge with us! Morning everyone, could you do me a favour and hit the subscribe button please, it helps us continue to bring you these amazing guests. Appreciate you all & have a great day 🙏🏽❤
Steven Bartlett is only using DECEPTIVE & DISHONEST titles to click bate you in to someone whom talks a lot but never really says anything. He only wants to glorify and enrich himself !! People stop wasting your time!!! And go and take action instead and live your lives instead.!!!
The reason why I have enjoyed this podcast so much is that it is not a documentary but real conversations about passion for a variety of topics, it does not always have to be the greatest or brightest that bring the best value... genuine humans doing their best - even if I don't like them I give them a listen because of your efforts and what The Diary Of A CEO represents.
I enjoyed this interview. Very well done. I do have a few questions... What is the name of the book? Walter's last name is??? Where is the book published?
You guys value influence too much. ppl easily respect him without looking at the full picture. That guy was born rich and all he did was steal and devalue their achievements. All the interviewer said are vague shallow information that look smart if you shut ur brain off.
A few weeks ago I was traveling in the U.S. my first flight was delayed by 6 hours, when I finally arrived in Houston, I went & sat in the United lounge to wait for my newly booked connection, I took out the book that I was reading & began to flick through. It wasn't 5 minutes later when the legendary author Walter Isaacson himself came and sat opposite to me. Completely lost for words, I showed him that I was reading his latest book about Elon Musk, and he smiled & grabbed a pen out of his pocket and proceeded to sign my copy. A very kind person, even noticed that I had purchased it over in the U.K! It was only a couple of weeks ago that I was traveling around Florence, Italy after reading & getting inspired by one of his previous books that documented the life of Leonardo Da Vinci. Having also listened to countless hours of lectures & public Q&As lead by Walter Isaacson, meeting him made my day. If it wasn't for that 6 hour delay, I would have never bumped into him. The world works in funny ways sometimes! @thediaryofaceo
I am currently reading the book and have already read the biography of Steve Jobs. I am an Arab, Muslim woman, teacher and educator. I find it very inspiring to read biographies of illustrious personalities who mark the course of events in human life, and I highly recommend reading biographies to my students. The fact that we read biographies of people from other cultures is capable of bringing people together, of cultivating tolerance and empathy towards difference and above all of not breaking down others and giving them the benefit of the doubt when they makes mistakes and gives him the chance to reinvent himself and improve. Thanks to the authors of the channel. I'm subscribing right away!
You should read only one book the word of God, don't you want to know how to live in this short thing we call life in true happiness and peace of mind. Making your self a better man day by day. And when its appointed onto you to die, don't you want to stand before the creator the one true God, and be judged worthy to enter into His happiness and peace that passes all understanding, and know all things and be bathed in His light , being changed in the spirit never hungry, never sick and its forever 10,000 years from now still giving Him the Glory and praise for allowing you into His mighty kingdom. Or be cast out into utter darkness, filled with pain, hunger, hopelessness, alone forever and ever 10,000 years from now and knowing you had the chance to chose, but you thought you knew better. I'm not willing to take that chance to many things add up in my mind and life journey to understand that just like a watch maker makes a watch out of 1900 pieces I to was created by a mighty one, as everything in this world was made by Him. I chose to be with the Alpha the Omega, the beginning and the end of all things seen and unseen. There is no other life out in the cosmos its just us soles here on earth in the middle of the galaxy the milky way, there are no aliens those are demons anyway. Don't be fooled, man didn't create himself, the big bang is the theory of man, just like evolution what we crawled out of the primordial soup of an ocean and evolved into an ape and kept evolving until we turned into a human. That takes more faith than to believe that God created us, because He wanted to fellowship with us and of course be worshipped by us at the same time. I have no problem bowing down to Him in awe , thanks and the fear of His power. But most of all chosen me to be chosen that He pulled back the Vail that was over my eyes so that I could see that He has been patiently waiting for all to choose Him to believe that I needed to be saved.That the way I was living my life was not the true way, but was the highway of destruction and many are on it, but He showed me the path and there are few who believe and follow that patch which leads to salvation, we will know all things and be in His presences for eternity 10,000 years from now because my sole never dies. But not everyone will go to Heaven His kingdom , they will be turned away into the darkness for eternity, alone, in pain, never satisfied , and knowing you had a chance , its not going to be like Vegas thats for sure. Thank you Lord, King of Kings. For leaving your words of wisdom the way out of this mess. I pray He comes in my lifetime, I sick by what I see.
The difference between a hero and a villain is what they do with their pain, specifically their childhood pain. Introspection is phenomenal in evolving the healing of the inner child.
So true. I Buried mine.. wasn't the smartest thing to do. At 11 I escaped my nightmare.. but my dreams haunted me..till VA gave me. What I called no dream pills.. it took away my dreams.. but I lived with them for 30 years.. waking so afraid I would go to Dennys where there were people.. still I never delt with all that I stuffed away. I too have issues of DID. I isolated myself. Just worked..afraid of my own mind. I have gone to therapy..now 64. It showed me what my brain was doing..2-places at Once.. horrible feeling.. made me see the past. Which I conviently blocked from my accessable thoughts. Things I didn't wznt to face. Now,I control my enviroment to keep me from going there.. it works if I can control it.. I have a very intolerant person..very smart But afraid of relationships. So,. I think I am one of those people who will never have that part of life. Workaholic..
@@KariKreps-ps3jx Thats why i go through now (still 36). To not go in that Shoes for my Future. Your post made me Realize the urgency to work through mine. I want to arrive in that Life. I have come Far and stil heading to this direction. I will Leave you a bit Compassion for your Burden. i can only Imagine how much this Weights for you.
Great interviewer. Calm. Doesn’t inject himself into the conversation. Asks questions and genuinely listens to and allows the guest to answer. Respects the guests knowledge of the subject and shows interest in the guest. Hoping this podcast/platforn is winning awards.
It's very different to 'not coddle' over children, compared with not showing them enough love and positive attention. There is a very fine balance to be had there.
Exactly... The point at which your child falls out a window because you thought they had developed depth perception in your analytical intelligent mind. These characters concern me a lot. He did not mention the horrendous way Jobs treated his child. Was the iPhone...etc..worth it..... the ripples spread and helped push things forward and also tip over boats and drown people. I don't idolize these people but know I am complacent by using their products so I need to carbon offset emotionally to help try and balance the books in my head.
Just listened to the audiobook after watching this pod, book is fantastic, well written & narrated and exceptionally researched & very non-biased which surprised me
i thought he was slightly disapproving of Musk in the book -- but did a very good job. I dont mind his opinions because he is honest and wants to be a part of his work but yes He is opinionated he said He thinks hes overly invested in the 'woke mind virus' (despite his son transitioning )?
This is FASCINATING. I was swallowed by this episode. The level of integrity that this man has is remarkable. Considering how much he knows. Stunning interview.
Watching this in December 2024… I wonder what Mr. Isaacson would think about Musk being in government… if he would think Musk is being distracted….Absolutely fascinating interview. Will watch more as I’ve just subscribed.Thank you for this interview.
Walter Isaacson is such a hero of mine. His book on Steve Jobs literally inspired me as a teenager to pick my degree. Brilliant writer and great to see him explain his writing process.
@@jeniferjohnson7827 What they say about those who talk about others (gossip): If they talked about themselves they would be so boring no one would listen...
Great job on writers part, commuting to follow Elon for 2 years, I appreciate that. And also the writer seems like a well rounded person with self awareness.
There were so many RUclips videos about Elon Musk from different perspectives that popped up after Trump won the election, but I think Walter Isaacson would be the best person to give the best analysis of Elon Musk. I am reading the biography now and also read Steve Jobs book, but hands down one of the best biographers in our era.
May I be a “grammar nazi” for the sole purpose of teaching you? There’s only one mistake. Perhaps this is not your native language &/or you appreciate learning. I mean absolutely no disrespect, & I’m aware this may be highly annoying if you don’t appreciate learning. Hahahah OK, great! Thanks! You should have an exclamation point after “Steven has done”. That’s a complete thought & should not be continued with a comma. Also, I completely agree with you! That is all. 😊
I am a disabled mom whose been bedridden for 8 years. I see a little genius in my only son who is 9. I homeschool him even though he’s learned how to read, edit videos, makes music, does math in his head because he hates writing. I am deeply grateful for this interview. It has calmed my nervous system in many ways. Thank you 🙏🏼 incredible how This interview is the answer to a prayer🎖️
My husband was told as a child that it was not worth his time coming to school as he hating writing, was terrible at English, French, Geography and History and didnt have any success writing essays etc..(no one thought about dyslexia in those days!) then he discovered maths and physics which were the only subjects he was good at. Fast forward a few decades, he is semi retired now but has been a professor at university for much of his life, written several books on his subject, written hundreds of scientific papers, headed his own department, and several other departments and committees etc, worked in conjunction with NASA and other international scientific companies and organisations and is still working on new projects now… if your son has the capability (and it sounds like he does) then with hard work and dedication he can reach for the moon… you have done the best thing by home schooling him too… keep him away from the woke mind virus so he can think for himself. Good luck to both of you :)
@@Maugirl2as a mom of two with psychological and autoimmune issues- I am rooting for you! We also homeschool and I struggle with what’s best all the time but I know ultimately… I am the only one who feels that intensely about their lives and learning. I encourage and applaud you momma.
Really?! Your first instinct is fawning? Americans are weird. Gotta fawn over someone. If it’s not Elon it’s Walter. Pathetic. Ever consider Walter is CIA and in the biz of myth-making? You might want to do that.
@@Stefanburakovexactly. This whole story is ridiculous. A godless people need these myths. Walter is likely CIA and in the biz of myth making. Americans need idols. Because they are Godless.
I love the way Elon distances himself from perfection. This means a lot to me. Imagine any famous rich you know having the guts to allow his biographer to say that he thinks he is bipolar, overweight or lives in a 2 room house. Elon is a legend, but the cool factor here is that he does not make it an issue! Elon, greetings from Mykonos Greece, you know you are always welcomed here!
@@LWalker-xu3gpyup, for some reason I naturally took a liking to him in a comfortable sense. Now I know why why have similarities of of upbringing and the way we were treated…
You really think Elon is watching this😂.Just being on the spectrum I would say no because he doesn’t are but I could be wrong. I have a son on spectrum and he just doesn’t think this way.mindyou he’s not a quadrillionare but generally human behavior and what people think of him isn’t important?
Hadn't heard of Walter before this, but this was one of your most fascinating, compelling episodes. Walter sharing his experience here is an absolute gift.
Your journalism is insanely good, incredibly professional. The most impressive thing about you is how humble you are and how well you connect your viewers. You ask questions you already know, bc you ask them for us the viewer. You have the interviewee give definitions and explain the terms even tho you may know what they are. You keep us the viewer at the forefront no matter how well versed we are at a topic. You include everyone in your responses and questions. Incredibly impressed.
Wow, this guy is different. He is smiling alot throughout the interview. He shines. He obviously stays young and inquisitive with all his adventures. He had an interesting life - his story telling is fantastic.
Wrong on everything, made to look CEO's look good. Muah Steven jobs brought in modern day computing, muah elon musk was wrong to buy twitter. Clown show.
I absolutely love the content that you produce. The level of professionalism and insight with which you conduct your interviews is a pleasure to watch. Please continue doing things the way you are. This show is an example to other podcasts of what great interviewing looks like. Subscribed!
This was one of the best interview/discussions I’ve ever listened to. I was throughly engaged from start to finish, which is rare for me when listening to most podcasts. The questions were excellent and Walter’s responses were very well conveyed. I could have listened for hours. Story telling is definitely His gift!!! Bravo!!👏🏻👏🏻
I've watched several interviews with Walter in the last 6 months and this is the best one. A testament to your ability to ask fantastic questions, Steven. Keep it going!
.I’m a 60yr old mediocre entrepreneur. I have watched many of your videos, and commented on a few. Also I have been religious in recommending your channel as I feel you ask the “greatest questions that most interviewers would miss”. I bumped into my sober (ex 365/24 Irish Drunk) Dad at Leicester M1 rest area. He apologized for my childhood.(he was looking for forgiveness) I told him he had nothing to apologize for. “Without you being you, I would not be me. And although I’m not perfect, I love me”. I’m not perfect… but I am the perfect me. The childhood is an incubator.and a comfortable childhood does not awaken things that a rough childhood awakens.
@@Sept2cfm1953 a kid I went to school with was born rich, as a 10 year old he was very aware of his wealth and inheritance of wealth. And his ambition was to await his inheritance. He did poorly at school and anytime the teachers tried to chastise him, his answer was always the same. I’m wealthy and don’t care. ..
It may not be the intention of this particular podcast but it just gave me my own eureka moment. Thank you for having this conversation. Very inspiring and enlightening. KNOW THYSELF and stick to it. Nobody has the right or power to change anybody. Every type of personality is what makes this world works. No one is better than the other. Diversity is its strength. ❤
Wow what a fascinating guy! I love that he's able to see so many different pov's -- not critical. Seems really good at understanding people without letting his emotions get in the way. It even sounded a bit like Steven was trying to get him to say something bad about Elon and he was so respectable.
fantastic interview. After reading his Steve Jobs biography, i’ve been a huge Isaacson fan. History belongs to the storytellers and this man is able to capture individual stories like no other
Steven, you don’t have to ask people to subscribe anymore. Your content is good enough you people will subscribe without you asking. Trust the work you are putting out.
Ask and you shall receive. It has nothing to do with doubting the quality and value of his content but rather, he wants to continue growing and improving (as we should) and its his way of giving back and rewarding the loyalty of his subscribers. I find that both beautiful and inspiring. He asked, I subscribed.
All RUclipsrs have to put ask people to do that in their videos because there’s always newcomers to the channel that need to be reminded to subscribe. Just let it be.
3:08 Steven, you have more than fulfilled your promise to us, your followers! I think the the podcast, the invitees and the topics discussed are absolutely magnificent! Thank you.
Walter, I don't agree with your politics, but I love your exhaustive research style, implacably walking in the footsteps of your subjects to know them with an intimacy that cannot be obtained through a few arms length interviews. It's a seldom employed technique, possibly unique to you among contemporary biographers. I also deeply respect your view about the invaluable societal role the story teller plays in consolidating and retransmitting human virtues to succeeding generations After listening to this fascinating interview, I eagerly look forward to reading your Musk saga.
I daresay that might be what makes his writing so good; only with an open mind and fair outlook can one be truly honest and non-judgmental of his subject. He considers all sides and isn’t quick to say anyone’s wrong, he’s more interested in understanding why they do what they do. I don’t always agree with him, but I respect him.
I am nearly finished with Walter Isaacson's book (audio book) on Elon Musk. It is quite fascinating, delving in on what Musk has gone through in his life: details on his childhood, relationships + family, multiple companies he's successfully built and others that failed, his way of thinking, drive, demons, passion, and much more. The book is 20 hours long and I have about 2 hours left- and at times it can feel grueling, extremely technical, but wildly detailed. However I highly appreciate the deep inside look in one of the most innovative and intelligent man in our time today. If you're an engineer, have a technical inclination, or are simply curious about Musk's unique mind, I think you'd enjoy it. Also Isaacson is a great author and story teller, and I enjoyed his perspective. Thank you Steven for the interview!
Ye Mary Juan 🤡🚬🌿 tu Há de Have a Nicy Day viu .Povo o Pisicopata está Sobre Paixão. Então eu vou Dar a Ele uma Passagem pra ele Morar em Guantanamor. ❤💘❤💖💝Lá há Nicy Day o Espera 😅#
I want to learn nothing about Elon Musk, he's a selfish man. I'm so done with these men being praised, instead of using your "genius" for traveling to Mars Elon how about saving this planet first.
I’d be so interested to hear what Walter Isaacson has to say about what Elon Musk’s mission is now, regarding his involvement with politics, and Donald Trump
I think getting involved with politics is just a means to rolling back the rules and regulations that he feels are getting in his way. Not a fan of Musk, but you can’t find a much easier target than Trump to accomplish that
I scrolled through the comments and could've given two thumbs up to 95 percent. It's the second time I watched this one, and there will probably be a third - an excellent educational journey for anyone. I wish all schools would make these sorts of discussions available to their students, whatever their age. But it's valuable even to old folks like me who lived through the history discussed. It gives you perspective. Well Done!
Thank you Mr. Isaacson for following your calling. It is one if not the only one that keeps humanity connected. You have just become a hero in my life.
He's our humanitys (think) "out of the box" Rocket Man! I really hope he will have a long lasting flying career. What a living symbol of hardship and revange on life. Nothing different could have accomplished anything similiar. I wish him health and prosperity!
Now I really have to get Walter Isaacson's bio of Elon Musk. He explained so well describing Elon Musk so vividly and honestly and sincerely, the character of a rather complexed, difficult to understand human being, but a person who I think needs his sole nurtured and his assurance of being admired and liked by all. I really enjoyed listening to this so interesting conversation with Stephen, and Walter Isaacson❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you
This is a fantastic interview. I’m definitely going to look for Walter’s other books. I hope someday you are able to interview Elon yourself. Thanks for always asking interesting and deep questions.
I once met a man who, as a child, had the chance to meet Henry Ford. It struck me as such a historic moment. I hope that one day, I’ll meet Elon Musk and be able to share that story when I’m old, creating a connection across generations.
Walter Isaacson's own story is very interesting....would love to hear more about him...what he shared of his media experience was great....Fantastic interview thanks ❤❤❤
Walter dismisses the core change of Elon’s understanding of politics. We who are not liberals do not label as conspiracies the take over of children’s minds, or Fauci’s role- including his 2013 patent ownership- of SARS Cvid 19- in killing people, stunting education, and distracting from election fraud. That’s why he bought Twitter. He saw the silencing of free speech. And he doesn’t understand autism spectrum- can’t stop and smell roses. Buying a yacht is Walter’s idea of balance- it is actually boring. Elon has good traits and bad traits- 🤮 So does everyone.
The interview was enlightening, Walter Isaacson is so patient and kind in his thoughts of others. It's a tribute to his deep understanding of others and the world. Thank you for bringing this conversation to my attention.
I love Walter Isaacson's work. We get so many insights from other peoples lives. A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one. - George RR Martin
Wow, now THIS is how an interview is done! Incredible! Thank you because people need to know this, and you pushed all the right buttons on this great man.
It's the first time I've spend over a biographer interview. It's all because of one person Elon Musk. My curiosity towards his personal lives is now fulfilled after this interview. Thankyou so much for sharing your experience with the most complex personality and developer of our generation. I choose to empathize not to judge. He's my inspiration indeed.
Steven this is without exageración the most insightful podcast on the internet. It has changed my way of thinking, my habits and how i comunicate with people. I can not thank you enough. If i could do 1 thing for the people i love i would try and get them interested in your content because of the level of personal growth i know can be achieved just by the continous listening of it. I literally can not recommend it enough
Hey Andres, thanks so much for sharing some of your journey with us! We're so glad you're loving the podcast, and hope you find even more insight in the episodes ahead! Team DOAC
@@meghan42 I’m with you 🙌🏻 what a ridiculous comment. Probably a paid bot, honestly. I’ve been listening/researching lately to how many paid ‘subscribers’ these channels buy. Nothing is as it appears on the internet. Go through the comments and look at which comments Steven replies to for engagement on the video😂 it’s a weird world we’re living in. The humans are starting to be outnumbered.
No coincidence all planned Neurolink AI humanoid SLAVERY death, what kind of old gay follow somebody young. Its like in Royal familie everything is preplaned for them autor of many books Ken Follett ❤ " Fall of Giants" " The men from St Petersburg" many others learn the history of plots and conspiracy on higher level you will know.
@@meghan42Why not? Some people find inspiration in listening to experts on different stuff. I guess that some people are willing to find negativity in absolutely anything.
Maybe Stephen’s most significant and fantastic interview of all time. Significant because those of us who follow Stephen know how much he wants to meet and engage with Elon Musk. This was arguably the next best thing. And Isaacson does not disappoint. Equally interesting was Isaacson’s clear interest in Stephen and knowledge of the podcast (and Stephen’s life). I know this is a very “meta” comment, and the interview itself was, as always, exceptional, but it was also an incredible milestone. I’d bet anyone that Stephen is now working the Isaacson connection to help land that “dream” interview - Walter Musk. Go get him, Stephen!
Seriously?! Fawning? On my phone this morning: an interview with Walter Isaacson talking about his book on Elon Musk. I do not believe in Elon Musk. Why is there so much PR for this guy? I think he's a construct. He's a myth made for idol worship. Everything is to create an audience that "follows" him and adores him. That's who we are. Godless people who are easily persuaded by public relations. I am a cynic. Granted. But Walter Isaacson ... he seems like CIA. His job is to write books that consolidate memory. I resent him. But Americans lap it up. Pathetic.
Elon in 2022: "For Twitter to deserve public trust, it must be politically neutral, which effectively means upsetting the far right and the far left equally." YES!!!!!!👍 Elon in 2024: "Trump/Vance MUST win. I can't handle 4 years of seeing and hearing Kamala/Walz. That would be cruel and unusual punishment." Goodbye principles, hello oligarchy.
I remember some years back watching an interview with Elon on 60 Minutes Australia, and the reporter commented that some Australians can't afford to pay their power bill because it's so expensive. He was shocked and asked for clarification and confirmation. When given it, he said he didn't realize that, and his lip started to quiver, and he said "we'll work harder". A lesson IMO for those other billionaires with their fleets of superyachts to relax on.
I like your comment Elon is an Carrington human being who loves his children dearly and has feelings. He never ask others to work harder then himself. Loves companionship and hared work ethic.
I remember that too also in in hindsight I realized he was at a tough spot himself close to bankruptcy with Tesla in 2018 I think. He was very stressed and that was also the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Well, yes, he is right, work harder! What do you think I haven't gone through that? At first I was like you, resentful, "the government," the rich people dont care" but I realized that I need to make more money, of course Musk is correct but that's not the whole answer, vote for the right people who CAN make the energy cheaper and hold them accountable... but NO, the lazy people like to do nothing about anything, only be critical and have uninformed opinions, which they demand to be heard. Elon Musk is 100% correct, work more, educate more yourself, find other ways, vote correctly.
I really enjoy your interviews, the best traits of yours is your listening to your guests. Your intelligent questions is also great skill that you possess. Admirable characteristics in a person. I enjoyed this author's honesty about himself, a humble person. Very lucky to have had a very nice childhood. My husband is like the author, very balanced person.
Your channel is fascinating and interesting. Your navigation into the lives of these famous people you meet, and transforming it onto the podcast without being intrusive is really a good skill to have . Thank you ❤😊
I was diagnosed with auadhd later in life, I was also heavily traumatized by narcissistic abuse, I was diagnosed with cptsd, pba and bpd. Meds never helped me until I found a med called nudexta that helps with the emotional incontinence, I didn't start laughing and crying uncontrollably until after a bad head injury tho. the things he said about musk feels like I'm looking in a fractal mirror. I think when immersed in abuse your whole life, its hard to find peace. like people get addicted to the chaos of their mind and they don't settle down which leads to the emotional exhaustion that I think is often labeled as bipolar. They way I hyper focus on my art reminds me of the way you speak of his attention to detail. I think its wildly paradoxical the awareness our country has for mental health. Most of our idols and most prominent leaders are lead subconsciously by their past and their attachment theory. and the ways in which our younger years form our frameworks later in life. I have a lot of empathy for musk because I can relate to melting down modes, or apathetic modes. I think it all comes down to attachment theory and how personalities affect each other. His dad was cold and that I think still it pushes musk to validate himself with addition to overworking and musk doesn't have the capacity to slow down and feel the muck. Also probably why he expects a lot of his employees. Perfectionism is also a way to cope with having a NPD parent. A lot of times autistic people are affected by cognitive dissonance at a deeper rate because of the way autistic people are inherently seemly strong with a moral compass and hyper vigilance. Reiki and dance help me slow down and reach calming states and for a long time I did not realise how much my art was my resting space in a world of chaos. It breaks my heart he feels so hurt by his daughter. What a humanizing story of a man who is commonly demonized or misunderstood.
Another fascinating interview. I*m going to get his book on Musk. We already have his book about Jobs so I will have to read that too. I really like this man. He knows himself and is an excellent role model for the importance of that. I like his approach to leadership too. Somebody needs to write his biography! Interesting know he was the head of CNN, too. I miss his leadership there.
Walter is a true biographer. He without thought would mention little details about Steven throughout the interview which indicates he did a ton of research on Steven too. 🙏🏽✨🧡
As he mentioned, he would follow the subject of his biography for 2 years. Of course, he said Jobs would let him be nearby 1 week out of a month & Elon would allow Walter to be nearby 2-3 weeks in a month.
Your podcasts are fascinating …… this may be your best so far ! Interviewing a suberb biographer is brilliant , but perhaps just you being the CEO of podcasters brings you into casting the light on who you interview and not on yourself [ like Walter Isaiahson just did] creates you into a humble man. thank you Miss VLH 💕 P.S. l found all the information about great individuals with bi-polar traits insightful.
This is for me is definitely one of the most insightful episodes I have listened to on this podcast. This alongside the episode with Damon Dash .. I couldn't recover from the insights I gleaned listening to that episode for weeks and weeks. I wish Elon would come on this podcast. Talking about gifts to humanity this podcast is definitely a gift to humanity. I think I would be grateful to Steve and his team for the rest of my life for how much this podcast has elevated my mind. It's literarily mad!
Brilliant interview Steven. I have read the Elon Musk book, as well as 3 of Walter Isaacson’s other biographies. He is truly brilliant, and is able to bring his subjects alive, making his books very readable.
Not even half way through. Brilliant episode, amazing guest. We have too many regulators, not enough risk takers. Such an accurate observation, so succinctly put. Love it. Already one if my favourite episodes
Yes risk is fine if any negative consequences will only affect yourself. Elon could take risks and cut off those servers in an instant - they belonged to him. Had an employee done that and their system went down, they would be sacked. Elon is definitely a forward thinking doer. It’s only because of people like him that we do move forward. Elon works on logic, not emotion so unrelatable to many.
The abuse of people on the spectrum over the years has been shocking. The attitudes to autism and towards my own autistic child whilst he was growing up, were diabolical. His own grandmother wanted to put him in an institution and forget about him, because he was "different" and she wanted to keep him secret from others. That didn't happen, I sheltered him from the abuse as best I can, encouraged him, supported him and now he's in a highly responsible job with great prospects and a great team under him. My mother would have had him locked away, licking windows. Elon will have endured far worse. I'm in the first few minutes of the podcast..... I know I will find it emotionally challenging to hear of Elons life, I know his family were cruel and I can't bear to think of anyone on the spectrum who is treated badly. I think I will have to listen a few minutes at a time. Thanks for the thoughtful guests Steven. ❤ Yes I'm subscribed and notified.
Good for you. What we call the autistic are people with a special interface to consciousness who see the world in different and unique ways. I’m willing to bet a significant number through human history of those who advanced human knowledge and achievement would today be diagnosed as autistic. Society wants the easily understandable behavior of the average and frequently treats those with special gifts badly.
@mshoneylovebaby I don't think Angel comes into it. Whatever comes along your way you just have to deal with it as best you can, and when you sit back one day to draw breath, you realise that you are dealing with something that's been a challenge, but you stepped up to that challenge without thinking. Maybe you did a good job, but you tried your best. He's a bit older now, and loves to travel, yet at age 16 I put him on a bus alone for the first time, had him met at the other end, likewise a train. Now he goes all over Europe alone. Plans all his tickets, journeys and hostels himself. I'm so glad he has the confidence to do so.
This episode was fantastic! Thank you! And thank you for being such a good interviewer; never interrupt the interviewee and allow them to flow through their mind.
As a South African I feel so proud that I belong to a country that produced a man of his calibre! I only wish the world we live in was not the way it is because otherwise he would not only have been the great businessman and scientist that he is for our country, he would have been the head of state of our beautiful country as well 54:41 without having to contest the position with anybody!
Really ? How has he made life for humans better ? Elon , what has he done for mankind that's so riveting ? Builds rockets to go pick up rocks in outer space. Create AI that will end up killing us probably. I'd like to give him back, if you don't mind. Thanks !!
You can be proud of Elon, but you can't be proud of the losers who replied before me, or the political M0HS-&!#$ (read upside down) that South Africa has become.
@@MarJo333and Elon could put just the tippy of his baby toe in effort to assist bridge some of the essential needs of the country of his birth, but he doesn’t give two squats about South Africa nor South Africans.
I love how this podcasts introduces me to such informative people who introduce relevant health info and life wisdom. Im addicted and look forward to each new episode!
Elon’s incarnation is very timely. Not a coincidence. “Even in my mother‘s womb, you knew me.”-Bible. Thankfully, he appears to be a humble person, fairly without guile. We need to pray for people like Elon because their genius-vision-mission-ambition can greatly affect the world. I believe Elon wants only good for earth and humanity, not harm, to result from his efforts, his ‘passion’. Let’s pray for that… and I think he would appreciate that.
Not a fan of Elon Musk BUT this is one of the finest interview podcasts Steve has ever done. Walter Isaacson was absolutely brilliant, insightful, & well informed. His comments were eye-opening to say the least. I’d like to read a biography of Isaacson himself!!
Both Jobs and Musk will go down as two of the top 10 geniuses in US history. I wouldn’t want to directly work with either of them. Musk is the first industrialist that ever started two different billion dollar businesses. He’s definitely the top industrialist in US history. Buying Twitter was definitely an emotional thing. He hates bullies. Now, we know that the US government was using Twitter to censor citizens and to manipulate and control a narrative. He’s the most powerful advocate for freedom of speech.
Love this interview because the interviewer and interviewee both have the background of running a company. I learned what I was beginning to realize about human intelligence and a having a more engineer minded approach. It seems like the world is hard on these type of thinkers in general, and we all should learn to challenge those rule driven aspects to life. Also aware of trials men have to go through as "different" thinkers, and also men who stand out and have fathers who make them suffer in difficult ways. It's interesting that Musk suffers from some mental illnesses, and inspirational the way he uses his loneliness in childhood to understand and yearn for family, and just goes with it, may not know why. There is a lot there for hope moving forward in our current difficult state. Really impressed.
He’s probably in autistic spectrum but luckily he turned into a brilliant entrepreneur because he is smart. If you follow other stories, one may turn to be a killer. We should be able to recognize them and help them. Most often they are unhappy. Most often they were bullied.
I think what we term mental illness isn't illness. It's uniqueness. Not everyone comes from same mould. He just looks able to dissociate...with focus...all brain boxes do that maybe. Time out of normal schools Foster genius maybe.
Do you ever think “this is myth making?” I do. I take it with a grain of salt. Notice all of the gurus have “schtick.” I think they all are created for exactly this: idol worship. And Americans are happy to comply.
Childhood is the blue print for all icons, idols, ideologists, heroes and villains. Most great success people have a bittery childhood and failing pasts, but knowledge & talents empowered themselves to the next level.
Remarkable interview, what an amazing perspective into the lives of our heroes and what sets them apart, and how their significant relevance is inspirational to all of us. Thank you Walter.
Thank you Steve and Walter for this, yet another, revealing look at some of today's best, well known great enterpreneurs! I totally love it - from start to finish!!! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
The greatest human being of the last century. We are lucky to see it all happening now, in our lifetime. Elon is an inspiration. Reminds me of the way I approach my job. I've always push people and they always gave up, so in turn I worked harder by myself to get jobs done. This is what I admire about musk, that drive to do greatness, no matter if I have to do it myself or hard-core People that want help and learn the right way to do things

Fascinating insight into some incredible people. After almost every DOAC podcast, including this one, I leave thinking “I’m grateful that people in this world are doing such amazing things, but I definitely don’t want their life!” Other reflection… wouldn’t it be amazing for Walter to write a biography on Steven. I know Steven already documents a lot (vlog etc), but it would be super interesting to hear/read it from the perspective of a world class storyteller!
What a fascinating episode! Thanks Walter for sharing your knowledge with us!

Steven Bartlett is only using DECEPTIVE & DISHONEST titles to click bate you in to someone whom talks a lot but never really says anything. He only wants to glorify and enrich himself !!
People stop wasting your time!!! And go and take action instead and live your lives instead.!!!
The reason why I have enjoyed this podcast so much is that it is not a documentary but real conversations about passion for a variety of topics, it does not always have to be the greatest or brightest that bring the best value... genuine humans doing their best - even if I don't like them I give them a listen because of your efforts and what The Diary Of A CEO represents.
I enjoyed this interview. Very well done. I do have a few questions...
What is the name of the book?
Walter's last name is???
Where is the book published?
You guys value influence too much. ppl easily respect him without looking at the full picture. That guy was born rich and all he did was steal and devalue their achievements.
All the interviewer said are vague shallow information that look smart if you shut ur brain off.
A few weeks ago I was traveling in the U.S. my first flight was delayed by 6 hours, when I finally arrived in Houston, I went & sat in the United lounge to wait for my newly booked connection, I took out the book that I was reading & began to flick through. It wasn't 5 minutes later when the legendary author Walter Isaacson himself came and sat opposite to me.
Completely lost for words, I showed him that I was reading his latest book about Elon Musk, and he smiled & grabbed a pen out of his pocket and proceeded to sign my copy. A very kind person, even noticed that I had purchased it over in the U.K!
It was only a couple of weeks ago that I was traveling around Florence, Italy after reading & getting inspired by one of his previous books that documented the life of Leonardo Da Vinci. Having also listened to countless hours of lectures & public Q&As lead by Walter Isaacson, meeting him made my day.
If it wasn't for that 6 hour delay, I would have never bumped into him. The world works in funny ways sometimes! @thediaryofaceo
Thank you for allowing your ‘listeners’ to experience conversations with the most interesting and informative people on the planet.
I am currently reading the book and have already read the biography of Steve Jobs. I am an Arab, Muslim woman, teacher and educator. I find it very inspiring to read biographies of illustrious personalities who mark the course of events in human life, and I highly recommend reading biographies to my students. The fact that we read biographies of people from other cultures is capable of bringing people together, of cultivating tolerance and empathy towards difference and above all of not breaking down others and giving them the benefit of the doubt when they makes mistakes and gives him the chance to reinvent himself and improve. Thanks to the authors of the channel. I'm subscribing right away!
I agree. Walking in another.s shoes via biography broadens the mind.
Well said.
Opening your mind to perspectives is great. Your job is a very hard one and I hope you continue to help educate our future generations.
Alah al bar
You should read only one book the word of God, don't you want to know how to live in this short thing we call life in true happiness and peace of mind. Making your self a better man day by day. And when its appointed onto you to die, don't you want to stand before the creator the one true God, and be judged worthy to enter into His happiness and peace that passes all understanding, and know all things and be bathed in His light , being changed in the spirit never hungry, never sick and its forever 10,000 years from now still giving Him the Glory and praise for allowing you into His mighty kingdom. Or be cast out into utter darkness, filled with pain, hunger, hopelessness, alone forever and ever 10,000 years from now and knowing you had the chance to chose, but you thought you knew better. I'm not willing to take that chance to many things add up in my mind and life journey to understand that just like a watch maker makes a watch out of 1900 pieces I to was created by a mighty one, as everything in this world was made by Him. I chose to be with the Alpha the Omega, the beginning and the end of all things seen and unseen. There is no other life out in the cosmos its just us soles here on earth in the middle of the galaxy the milky way, there are no aliens those are demons anyway. Don't be fooled, man didn't create himself, the big bang is the theory of man, just like evolution what we crawled out of the primordial soup of an ocean and evolved into an ape and kept evolving until we turned into a human. That takes more faith than to believe that God created us, because He wanted to fellowship with us and of course be worshipped by us at the same time. I have no problem bowing down to Him in awe , thanks and the fear of His power. But most of all chosen me to be chosen that He pulled back the Vail that was over my eyes so that I could see that He has been patiently waiting for all to choose Him to believe that I needed to be saved.That the way I was living my life was not the true way, but was the highway of destruction and many are on it, but He showed me the path and there are few who believe and follow that patch which leads to salvation, we will know all things and be in His presences for eternity 10,000 years from now because my sole never dies. But not everyone will go to Heaven His kingdom , they will be turned away into the darkness for eternity, alone, in pain, never satisfied , and knowing you had a chance , its not going to be like Vegas thats for sure. Thank you Lord, King of Kings. For leaving your words of wisdom the way out of this mess. I pray He comes in my lifetime, I sick by what I see.
The difference between a hero and a villain is what they do with their pain, specifically their childhood pain. Introspection is phenomenal in evolving the healing of the inner child.
So true. I Buried mine.. wasn't the smartest thing to do. At 11 I escaped my nightmare.. but my dreams haunted me..till VA gave me. What I called no dream pills.. it took away my dreams.. but I lived with them for 30 years.. waking so afraid I would go to Dennys where there were people.. still I never delt with all that I stuffed away.
I too have issues of DID. I isolated myself. Just worked..afraid of my own mind. I have gone to therapy..now 64. It showed me what my brain was doing..2-places at
Once.. horrible feeling.. made me see the past. Which I conviently blocked from my accessable thoughts. Things I didn't wznt to face.
Now,I control my enviroment to keep me from going there.. it works if I can control it.. I have a very intolerant person..very smart
But afraid of relationships. So,.
I think I am one of those people who will never have that part of life.
Workaholic..

Great interviewer. Calm. Doesn’t inject himself into the conversation. Asks questions and genuinely listens to and allows the guest to answer. Respects the guests knowledge of the subject and shows interest in the guest. Hoping this podcast/platforn is winning awards.
It's very different to 'not coddle' over children, compared with not showing them enough love and positive attention.
There is a very fine balance to be had there.
We have the balance line to far wok.
Yes, there's a big difference between "not coddling" and ignoring danger to a toddler.
Exactly... The point at which your child falls out a window because you thought they had developed depth perception in your analytical intelligent mind.
These characters concern me a lot.
He did not mention the horrendous way Jobs treated his child. Was the iPhone...etc..worth it..... the ripples spread and helped push things forward and also tip over boats and drown people.
I don't idolize these people but know I am complacent by using their products so I need to carbon offset emotionally to help try and balance the books in my head.
Just listened to the audiobook after watching this pod, book is fantastic, well written & narrated and exceptionally researched & very non-biased which surprised me
i thought he was slightly disapproving of Musk in the book -- but did a very good job. I dont mind his opinions because he is honest and wants to be a part of his work but yes He is opinionated he said He thinks hes overly invested in the 'woke mind virus' (despite his son transitioning )?
and he opines that he thinks he shouldn't have bought twitter --- at least a couple times.
I'd like to see how a different writer would work with him.
This is FASCINATING. I was swallowed by this episode. The level of integrity that this man has is remarkable. Considering how much he knows. Stunning interview.

Watching this in December 2024… I wonder what Mr. Isaacson would think about Musk being in government… if he would think Musk is being distracted….Absolutely fascinating interview. Will watch more as I’ve just subscribed.Thank you for this interview.
Walter Isaacson is such a hero of mine. His book on Steve Jobs literally inspired me as a teenager to pick my degree. Brilliant writer and great to see him explain his writing process.
What did you pick ? Curious
Wht s ur degree
This guy is so devicive typical cozy up to a guy to get his story. Then criticize him for his way of doing business and creating new ways forward

There were so many RUclips videos about Elon Musk from different perspectives that popped up after Trump won the election, but I think Walter Isaacson would be the best person to give the best analysis of Elon Musk. I am reading the biography now and also read Steve Jobs book, but hands down one of the best biographers in our era.
What a FINE FINE Human Being Walter !!! May God Bless You for your FINE Understanding of YOURSELF as You Find OTHERS
One of the best interviews STEVEN has done, the questions he asked the guest are so insightful, and spot-on.
May I be a “grammar nazi” for the sole purpose of teaching you? There’s only one mistake. Perhaps this is not your native language &/or you appreciate learning. I mean absolutely no disrespect, & I’m aware this may be highly annoying if you don’t appreciate learning. Hahahah
OK, great! Thanks!
You should have an exclamation point after “Steven has done”. That’s a complete thought & should not be continued with a comma.
Also, I completely agree with you! That is all. 😊

Ya I want to meet Steven so badly.
Regarding Steve Jobs……the reason he named his electronics APPLE 🍎 is because he worked in an apple orchard to earn finance. Remarkable man.
I am a disabled mom whose been bedridden for 8 years. I see a little genius in my only son who is 9. I homeschool him even though he’s learned how to read, edit videos, makes music, does math in his head because he hates writing.
I am deeply grateful for this interview. It has calmed my nervous system in many ways.
Thank you 🙏🏼 incredible how This interview is the answer to a prayer🎖️
My husband was told as a child that it was not worth his time coming to school as he hating writing, was terrible at English, French, Geography and History and didnt have any success writing essays etc..(no one thought about dyslexia in those days!) then he discovered maths and physics which were the only subjects he was good at. Fast forward a few decades, he is semi retired now but has been a professor at university for much of his life, written several books on his subject, written hundreds of scientific papers, headed his own department, and several other departments and committees etc, worked in conjunction with NASA and other international scientific companies and organisations and is still working on new projects now… if your son has the capability (and it sounds like he does) then with hard work and dedication he can reach for the moon… you have done the best thing by home schooling him too… keep him away from the woke mind virus so he can think for himself. Good luck to both of you :)

I love the way Elon distances himself from perfection. This means a lot to me. Imagine any famous rich you know having the guts to allow his biographer to say that he thinks he is bipolar, overweight or lives in a 2 room house. Elon is a legend, but the cool factor here is that he does not make it an issue! Elon, greetings from Mykonos Greece, you know you are always welcomed here!

@@LWalker-xu3gpyup, for some reason I naturally took a liking to him in a comfortable sense. Now I know why why have similarities of of upbringing and the way we were treated…

You really think Elon is watching this😂.Just being on the spectrum I would say no because he doesn’t are but I could be wrong. I have a son on spectrum and he just doesn’t think this way.mindyou he’s not a quadrillionare but generally human behavior and what people think of him isn’t important?

Your journalism is insanely good, incredibly professional. The most impressive thing about you is how humble you are and how well you connect your viewers. You ask questions you already know, bc you ask them for us the viewer. You have the interviewee give definitions and explain the terms even tho you may know what they are. You keep us the viewer at the forefront no matter how well versed we are at a topic. You include everyone in your responses and questions. Incredibly impressed.
Wow, this guy is different. He is smiling alot throughout the interview.
He shines. He obviously stays young and inquisitive with all his adventures.
He had an interesting life - his story telling is fantastic.
Yes it is like he is feeding us propaganda, which is the purpose of this video. Make Elon seem like a nice guy when he is the devil in disguise
What a fascinating and eloquent man, I could listen to him all day! Brilliant interview.
Musk and Jobs are the fascinating people he is just the collector and tape recorded of their genius. He did choose them, so give him credit for that!
Wrong on everything, made to look CEO's look good. Muah Steven jobs brought in modern day computing, muah elon musk was wrong to buy twitter. Clown show.
I absolutely love the content that you produce. The level of professionalism and insight with which you conduct your interviews is a pleasure to watch. Please continue doing things the way you are. This show is an example to other podcasts of what great interviewing looks like. Subscribed!
This was one of the best interview/discussions I’ve ever listened to. I was throughly engaged from start to finish, which is rare for me when listening to most podcasts. The questions were excellent and Walter’s responses were very well conveyed. I could have listened for hours. Story telling is definitely His gift!!! Bravo!!👏🏻👏🏻
I've watched several interviews with Walter in the last 6 months and this is the best one. A testament to your ability to ask fantastic questions, Steven. Keep it going!

Wow what a fascinating guy! I love that he's able to see so many different pov's -- not critical. Seems really good at understanding people without letting his emotions get in the way. It even sounded a bit like Steven was trying to get him to say something bad about Elon and he was so respectable.
fantastic interview. After reading his Steve Jobs biography, i’ve been a huge Isaacson fan. History belongs to the storytellers and this man is able to capture individual stories like no other
No it belongs to the winner's always have always will.

Steven, you don’t have to ask people to subscribe anymore. Your content is good enough you people will subscribe without you asking. Trust the work you are putting out.
I subscribed because he asked 👍🏻
Ask and you shall receive. It has nothing to do with doubting the quality and value of his content but rather, he wants to continue growing and improving (as we should) and its his way of giving back and rewarding the loyalty of his subscribers.

Walter, I don't agree with your politics, but I love your exhaustive research style, implacably walking in the footsteps of your subjects to know them with an intimacy that cannot be obtained through a few arms length interviews. It's a seldom employed technique, possibly unique to you among contemporary biographers. I also deeply respect your view about the invaluable societal role the story teller plays in consolidating and retransmitting human virtues to succeeding generations
After listening to this fascinating interview, I eagerly look forward to reading your Musk saga.
Yep. Walter's left leaning ideologies surface at times. Some chapters seems to have hidden agenda. Other than that good book.
I daresay that might be what makes his writing so good; only with an open mind and fair outlook can one be truly honest and non-judgmental of his subject. He considers all sides and isn’t quick to say anyone’s wrong, he’s more interested in understanding why they do what they do. I don’t always agree with him, but I respect him.
In Aspergers your "flight or fight" response is usually pegged at "FIGHT". Tons of brilliant minds come from that spectrum. It's a gift and a curse.

Fascinating interview! WOW, every time you think you've seen the best interview, the next comes out. Bravo Stephen and all his guests.
I am nearly finished with Walter Isaacson's book (audio book) on Elon Musk. It is quite fascinating, delving in on what Musk has gone through in his life: details on his childhood, relationships + family, multiple companies he's successfully built and others that failed, his way of thinking, drive, demons, passion, and much more. The book is 20 hours long and I have about 2 hours left- and at times it can feel grueling, extremely technical, but wildly detailed. However I highly appreciate the deep inside look in one of the most innovative and intelligent man in our time today. If you're an engineer, have a technical inclination, or are simply curious about Musk's unique mind, I think you'd enjoy it. Also Isaacson is a great author and story teller, and I enjoyed his perspective. Thank you Steven for the interview!

I want to learn nothing about Elon Musk, he's a selfish man. I'm so done with these men being praised, instead of using your "genius" for traveling to Mars Elon how about saving this planet first.
I’d be so interested to hear what Walter Isaacson has to say about what Elon Musk’s mission is now, regarding his involvement with politics, and Donald Trump
World dominance
Strive for autocracy and its ultimate grifting opportunities.
There’s also the curve ball of Musk doing drug which can vastly change the outcome of his actions in whatever he does.
I think getting involved with politics is just a means to rolling back the rules and regulations that he feels are getting in his way. Not a fan of Musk, but you can’t find a much easier target than Trump to accomplish that
This will be a scary outcome for the U.S
Thank you for having Walter on the show !!
Gained much respect for Walter Isaacson. He can think critically for himself but doesn’t demonize people. His context awareness is also on point
Elon Musk isn't a good man. He isn't. Too bad all that genius isn't used for the good of the people.
I scrolled through the comments and could've given two thumbs up to 95 percent. It's the second time I watched this one, and there will probably be a third - an excellent educational journey for anyone. I wish all schools would make these sorts of discussions available to their students, whatever their age. But it's valuable even to old folks like me who lived through the history discussed. It gives you perspective. Well Done!
Thank you Mr. Isaacson for following your calling. It is one if not the only one that keeps humanity connected. You have just become a hero in my life.
He's our humanitys (think) "out of the box" Rocket Man!
I really hope he will have a long lasting flying career.
What a living symbol of hardship and revange on life.
Nothing different could have accomplished anything similiar.
I wish him health and prosperity!
Now I really have to get Walter Isaacson's bio of Elon Musk. He explained so well describing Elon Musk so vividly and honestly and sincerely, the character of a rather complexed, difficult to understand human being, but a person who I think needs his sole nurtured and his assurance of being admired and liked by all. I really enjoyed listening to this so interesting conversation with Stephen, and Walter Isaacson❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you

I once met a man who, as a child, had the chance to meet Henry Ford. It struck me as such a historic moment. I hope that one day, I’ll meet Elon Musk and be able to share that story when I’m old, creating a connection across generations.
Walter Isaacson's own story is very interesting....would love to hear more about him...what he shared of his media experience was great....Fantastic interview thanks ❤❤❤
I thought we'd hear a little more about him as well
Walter dismisses the core change of Elon’s understanding of politics. We who are not liberals do not label as conspiracies the take over of children’s minds, or Fauci’s role- including his 2013 patent ownership- of SARS Cvid 19- in killing people, stunting education, and distracting from election fraud. That’s why he bought Twitter. He saw the silencing of free speech.
And he doesn’t understand autism spectrum- can’t stop and smell roses. Buying a yacht is Walter’s idea of balance- it is actually boring. Elon has good traits and bad traits- 🤮 So does everyone.
The interview was enlightening, Walter Isaacson is so patient and kind in his thoughts of others. It's a tribute to his deep understanding of others and the world. Thank you for bringing this conversation to my attention.
I love Walter Isaacson's work. We get so many insights from other peoples lives.

Even if the insights are false? Even if they are myths?
@@notnow7973 Yes, if those insights apply to my own life. Then it doesnt matter if they don't apply for someone else.

Wow, now THIS is how an interview is done! Incredible! Thank you because people need to know this, and you pushed all the right buttons on this great man.
It's the first time I've spend over a biographer interview. It's all because of one person Elon Musk. My curiosity towards his personal lives is now fulfilled after this interview. Thankyou so much for sharing your experience with the most complex personality and developer of our generation. I choose to empathize not to judge. He's my inspiration indeed.
Look at the apple logo, agents of Satan. Freemason sad frauds. Follow Jesus Christ alone. They ate the forbidden fruit. 🙏
Steven this is without exageración the most insightful podcast on the internet. It has changed my way of thinking, my habits and how i comunicate with people. I can not thank you enough. If i could do 1 thing for the people i love i would try and get them interested in your content because of the level of personal growth i know can be achieved just by the continous listening of it. I literally can not recommend it enough
Hey Andres, thanks so much for sharing some of your journey with us! We're so glad you're loving the podcast, and hope you find even more insight in the episodes ahead! Team DOAC
Oh please. Most insightful? Changed your way of thinking? Personal growth? Stop it.
@@meghan42 I’m with you 🙌🏻 what a ridiculous comment. Probably a paid bot, honestly. I’ve been listening/researching lately to how many paid ‘subscribers’ these channels buy. Nothing is as it appears on the internet. Go through the comments and look at which comments Steven replies to for engagement on the video😂 it’s a weird world we’re living in. The humans are starting to be outnumbered.
No coincidence all planned Neurolink AI humanoid SLAVERY death, what kind of old gay follow somebody young.
Its like in Royal familie everything is preplaned for them autor of many books Ken Follett ❤ " Fall of Giants" " The men from St Petersburg" many others learn the history of plots and conspiracy on higher level you will know.
@@meghan42Why not? Some people find inspiration in listening to experts on different stuff.
I guess that some people are willing to find negativity in absolutely anything.
Maybe Stephen’s most significant and fantastic interview of all time. Significant because those of us who follow Stephen know how much he wants to meet and engage with Elon Musk. This was arguably the next best thing. And Isaacson does not disappoint. Equally interesting was Isaacson’s clear interest in Stephen and knowledge of the podcast (and Stephen’s life). I know this is a very “meta” comment, and the interview itself was, as always, exceptional, but it was also an incredible milestone. I’d bet anyone that Stephen is now working the Isaacson connection to help land that “dream” interview - Walter Musk. Go get him, Stephen!
Such a fantastic conversation indeed. Thank you so much for your support!! Team DOAC 🙏

Seriously?! Fawning?
On my phone this morning: an interview with Walter Isaacson talking about his book on Elon Musk.
I do not believe in Elon Musk. Why is there so much PR for this guy?
I think he's a construct. He's a myth made for idol worship. Everything is to create an audience that "follows" him and adores him.
That's who we are. Godless people who are easily persuaded by public relations.
I am a cynic. Granted. But Walter Isaacson ... he seems like CIA. His job is to write books that consolidate memory. I resent him.
But Americans lap it up. Pathetic.
Love you Walter n your humble Grandeur..Sir you are one of very special communicater n an ICON..best of health n happiness..
I'd love to see Elon Musk on this podcast! 🤩
Great Episode, thanks! 🙏
Elon in 2022: "For Twitter to deserve public trust, it must be politically neutral, which effectively means upsetting the far right and the far left equally." YES!!!!!!👍
Elon in 2024: "Trump/Vance MUST win. I can't handle 4 years of seeing and hearing Kamala/Walz. That would be cruel and unusual punishment." Goodbye principles, hello oligarchy.
@@CMA418 Money is the root of all evil. It's intoxicating for those who aspire to be rich but only 10% get the prize. Keep calling these morons out.
@@Fleloniousrumpt "the LOVE of money is the root of all evil."
But also, "woe to you who are rich..."
I would not like to see Elon Musk anywhere, I've seen and heard enough of narcissism in my life time.
Same here! Sick of marginal narcissistic billionaires who think they are superior to anyone else.
I remember some years back watching an interview with Elon on 60 Minutes Australia, and the reporter commented that some Australians can't afford to pay their power bill because it's so expensive. He was shocked and asked for clarification and confirmation. When given it, he said he didn't realize that, and his lip started to quiver, and he said "we'll work harder". A lesson IMO for those other billionaires with their fleets of superyachts to relax on.
I like your comment Elon is an Carrington human being who loves his children dearly and has feelings. He never ask others to work harder then himself. Loves companionship and hared work ethic.
Autism spectrum disorder man with blinders on to the United States issues.
I remember that too also in in hindsight I realized he was at a tough spot himself close to bankruptcy with Tesla in 2018 I think.
He was very stressed and that was also the last straw that broke the camel's back.
i remember that episode too... and Musk followed through too.
Well, yes, he is right, work harder! What do you think I haven't gone through that? At first I was like you, resentful, "the government," the rich people dont care" but I realized that I need to make more money, of course Musk is correct but that's not the whole answer, vote for the right people who CAN make the energy cheaper and hold them accountable... but NO, the lazy people like to do nothing about anything, only be critical and have uninformed opinions, which they demand to be heard. Elon Musk is 100% correct, work more, educate more yourself, find other ways, vote correctly.
I really enjoy your interviews, the best traits of yours is your listening to your guests. Your intelligent questions is also great skill that you possess. Admirable characteristics in a person.
I enjoyed this author's honesty about himself, a humble person. Very lucky to have had a very nice childhood. My husband is like the author, very balanced person.
Great interview! You hit it out of the park with this one!
Your channel is fascinating and interesting. Your navigation into the lives of these famous people you meet, and transforming it onto the podcast without being intrusive is really a good skill to have . Thank you ❤😊
I was diagnosed with auadhd later in life, I was also heavily traumatized by narcissistic abuse, I was diagnosed with cptsd, pba and bpd. Meds never helped me until I found a med called nudexta that helps with the emotional incontinence, I didn't start laughing and crying uncontrollably until after a bad head injury tho. the things he said about musk feels like I'm looking in a fractal mirror. I think when immersed in abuse your whole life, its hard to find peace. like people get addicted to the chaos of their mind and they don't settle down which leads to the emotional exhaustion that I think is often labeled as bipolar. They way I hyper focus on my art reminds me of the way you speak of his attention to detail. I think its wildly paradoxical the awareness our country has for mental health. Most of our idols and most prominent leaders are lead subconsciously by their past and their attachment theory. and the ways in which our younger years form our frameworks later in life. I have a lot of empathy for musk because I can relate to melting down modes, or apathetic modes. I think it all comes down to attachment theory and how personalities affect each other. His dad was cold and that I think still it pushes musk to validate himself with addition to overworking and musk doesn't have the capacity to slow down and feel the muck. Also probably why he expects a lot of his employees. Perfectionism is also a way to cope with having a NPD parent. A lot of times autistic people are affected by cognitive dissonance at a deeper rate because of the way autistic people are inherently seemly strong with a moral compass and hyper vigilance. Reiki and dance help me slow down and reach calming states and for a long time I did not realise how much my art was my resting space in a world of chaos. It breaks my heart he feels so hurt by his daughter. What a humanizing story of a man who is commonly demonized or misunderstood.
Oh boy, just meditate
This has every gen z buzzword known to man
21:04 "Having something to prove coming out of childhood and demons to harness tends to drive you a bit more". Hugs to everyone who can relate❤
True though when the break through does not happen it is brutally painful and a huge loss.
Walter Isaacson what a fascinating job; what a fascinating person. Would love to meet him!
Another fascinating interview. I*m going to get his book on Musk. We already have his book about Jobs so I will have to read that too. I really like this man. He knows himself and is an excellent role model for the importance of that. I like his approach to leadership too. Somebody needs to write his biography! Interesting know he was the head of CNN, too. I miss his leadership there.
WHY is this only 1.5 hrs?! What a fantastic episode and this needs to be at least 2x as long. Well done.
Walter is a true biographer. He without thought would mention little details about Steven throughout the interview which indicates he did a ton of research on Steven too. 🙏🏽✨🧡
As he mentioned, he would follow the subject of his biography for 2 years. Of course, he said Jobs would let him be nearby 1 week out of a month & Elon would allow Walter to be nearby 2-3 weeks in a month.
Your podcasts are fascinating …… this may be your best so far ! Interviewing a suberb biographer is brilliant , but perhaps just you being the CEO of podcasters brings you into casting the light on who you interview and not on yourself [ like Walter Isaiahson just did] creates you into a humble man. thank you Miss VLH 💕 P.S. l found all the information about great individuals with
bi-polar traits insightful.
P.S.S. Your guest book leaving a question for the next is genius ! !
Walter lssacson
I agree with whoever said you don’t need to ask for subscribers. Your work speaks for itself ! !
This is one of the most fascinating interviews I've watched to date! Love your show.
This is for me is definitely one of the most insightful episodes I have listened to on this podcast. This alongside the episode with Damon Dash .. I couldn't recover from the insights I gleaned listening to that episode for weeks and weeks. I wish Elon would come on this podcast. Talking about gifts to humanity this podcast is definitely a gift to humanity. I think I would be grateful to Steve and his team for the rest of my life for how much this podcast has elevated my mind. It's literarily mad!
Brilliant interview Steven. I have read the Elon Musk book, as well as 3 of Walter Isaacson’s other biographies. He is truly brilliant, and is able to bring his subjects alive, making his books very readable.
HOW AM I GOING TO GET EDITTING DONE WHEN YOU HAVE A NEXT LEVEL GUEST LIKE THIS!!! DAMN! Thank you
'[N]ext-level' is a compound adjective and needs a hyphen, if you're editing.
Really loved hearing Isaacson's insightful and understanding account of his time with Musk. Great conversation!
Not even half way through. Brilliant episode, amazing guest. We have too many regulators, not enough risk takers. Such an accurate observation, so succinctly put. Love it. Already one if my favourite episodes
Yes risk is fine if any negative consequences will only affect yourself. Elon could take risks and cut off those servers in an instant - they belonged to him. Had an employee done that and their system went down, they would be sacked. Elon is definitely a forward thinking doer. It’s only because of people like him that we do move forward. Elon works on logic, not emotion so unrelatable to many.
Depends- I would like regulations in medicine and food.
The abuse of people on the spectrum over the years has been shocking.
The attitudes to autism and towards my own autistic child whilst he was growing up, were diabolical.
His own grandmother wanted to put him in an institution and forget about him, because he was "different" and she wanted to keep him secret from others.
That didn't happen, I sheltered him from the abuse as best I can, encouraged him, supported him and now he's in a highly responsible job with great prospects and a great team under him.
My mother would have had him locked away, licking windows.
Elon will have endured far worse.
I'm in the first few minutes of the podcast..... I know I will find it emotionally challenging to hear of Elons life, I know his family were cruel and I can't bear to think of anyone on the spectrum who is treated badly.
I think I will have to listen a few minutes at a time.
Thanks for the thoughtful guests Steven. ❤
Yes I'm subscribed and notified.
Your son is very lucky to have you as his mom you are an angel
Wish you'd been my mom, darling. Love you ❤
Good for you. What we call the autistic are people with a special interface to consciousness who see the world in different and unique ways. I’m willing to bet a significant number through human history of those who advanced human knowledge and achievement would today be diagnosed as autistic. Society wants the easily understandable behavior of the average and frequently treats those with special gifts badly.
…..😢they know not what they do….😢 still no excuse…
@mshoneylovebaby I don't think Angel comes into it.
Whatever comes along your way you just have to deal with it as best you can, and when you sit back one day to draw breath, you realise that you are dealing with something that's been a challenge, but you stepped up to that challenge without thinking.
Maybe you did a good job, but you tried your best.
He's a bit older now, and loves to travel, yet at age 16 I put him on a bus alone for the first time, had him met at the other end, likewise a train.
Now he goes all over Europe alone.
Plans all his tickets, journeys and hostels himself.
I'm so glad he has the confidence to do so.
This episode was fantastic! Thank you! And thank you for being such a good interviewer; never interrupt the interviewee and allow them to flow through their mind.
Great interview and has allowed a much more nuanced view of Musk than I had up til now.
As a South African I feel so proud that I belong to a country that produced a man of his calibre! I only wish the world we live in was not the way it is because otherwise he would not only have been the great businessman and scientist that he is for our country, he would have been the head of state of our beautiful country as well 54:41 without having to contest the position with anybody!
Really ? How has he made life for humans better ? Elon , what has he done for mankind that's so riveting ? Builds rockets to go pick up rocks in outer space. Create AI that will end up killing us probably. I'd like to give him back, if you don't mind. Thanks !!
What did he do for South African countries or continents ? Absolutely nothing. Proud of what?
You can be proud of Elon, but you can't be proud of the losers who replied before me, or the political M0HS-&!#$ (read upside down) that South Africa has become.
@@MarJo333 He's done absolutely nothing; that you'd understand.
@@MarJo333and Elon could put just the tippy of his baby toe in effort to assist bridge some of the essential needs of the country of his birth, but he doesn’t give two squats about South Africa nor South Africans.
Absolutely beyond great interview. Steven Bartlett does not disappoint! Thank You So Much!
I love how this podcasts introduces me to such informative people who introduce relevant health info and life wisdom. Im addicted and look forward to each new episode!
Elon’s incarnation is very timely. Not a coincidence. “Even in my mother‘s womb, you knew me.”-Bible. Thankfully, he appears to be a humble person, fairly without guile. We need to pray for people like Elon because their genius-vision-mission-ambition can greatly affect the world. I believe Elon wants only good for earth and humanity, not harm, to result from his efforts, his ‘passion’. Let’s pray for that… and I think he would appreciate that.
Not a fan of Elon Musk BUT this is one of the finest interview podcasts Steve has ever done. Walter Isaacson was absolutely brilliant, insightful, & well informed. His comments were eye-opening to say the least. I’d like to read a biography of Isaacson himself!!
Both Jobs and Musk will go down as two of the top 10 geniuses in US history. I wouldn’t want to directly work with either of them. Musk is the first industrialist that ever started two different billion dollar businesses. He’s definitely the top industrialist in US history. Buying Twitter was definitely an emotional thing. He hates bullies. Now, we know that the US government was using Twitter to censor citizens and to manipulate and control a narrative. He’s the most powerful advocate for freedom of speech.
You hosted a wonderful guest 👍- great interview 👏
Man -i love the way you ask questions without interrupting the guest!Just subscribed!!
I really respect Walter. He is a very nice person and very humble. Thanks for making this podcast. I really enjoyed it. ❤
Keep it up Steven!
This conversations are gold, so engaging and inspiring... :)
Nothing new than what I as offered in the garden of Eden 🐍 💩 🔥 wake up.
I ABSOLUTE recommend this interview!!! What an amazing conversation. Congratulations
Absolutely incredible Work Steven Bartlett. Well done. This is amazing.
is it fashionable? to say work when you mean passion?
@@crypton_8l87no but it’s fashionable to use a strangers full name lol
Perfect last question left for this guest !
Excellent interview, lovely guest.
Love this interview because the interviewer and interviewee both have the background of running a company. I learned what I was beginning to realize about human intelligence and a having a more engineer minded approach. It seems like the world is hard on these type of thinkers in general, and we all should learn to challenge those rule driven aspects to life. Also aware of trials men have to go through as "different" thinkers, and also men who stand out and have fathers who make them suffer in difficult ways. It's interesting that Musk suffers from some mental illnesses, and inspirational the way he uses his loneliness in childhood to understand and yearn for family, and just goes with it, may not know why. There is a lot there for hope moving forward in our current difficult state. Really impressed.
He’s probably in autistic spectrum but luckily he turned into a brilliant entrepreneur because he is smart. If you follow other stories, one may turn to be a killer. We should be able to recognize them and help them. Most often they are unhappy. Most often they were bullied.
I think what we term mental illness isn't illness. It's uniqueness. Not everyone comes from same mould. He just looks able to dissociate...with focus...all brain boxes do that maybe. Time out of normal schools Foster genius maybe.
Do you ever think “this is myth making?” I do. I take it with a grain of salt. Notice all of the gurus have “schtick.”
I think they all are created for exactly this: idol worship.
And Americans are happy to comply.
@@notnow7973100% all lore
Childhood is the blue print for all icons, idols, ideologists, heroes and villains. Most great success people have a bittery childhood and failing pasts, but knowledge & talents empowered themselves to the next level.
Partially right
Childhood is the blueprint for everyone.
Elon is a genius what are your accomplishments.
Let’s see all of it
@@patedwards7934he’s not a genius but he is smart. He’s not Tony Stark.. read what @tommy wrote, clearly you are missing the point…
What a wonderful interview!! Walter himself is so inspiring. Great work!
The GOAT of interviews. Keep em coming
I didn’t think this would interest me, finally listened, I was so wrong. Thank you Steven
Remarkable interview, what an amazing perspective into the lives of our heroes and what sets them apart, and how their significant relevance is inspirational to all of us. Thank you Walter.
Yoga is demonic, please use your brain Christians! ‼️ you pray to other gods - WAKE UP ‼️
This was so fascinating... thoroughly enjoyed this... I'm sure you will still get people who will find reasons to hate on Elon
Magnificent you both! It's 2am and I'm watching this undistracted a second time.
Thank you Steve and Walter for this, yet another, revealing look at some of today's best, well known great enterpreneurs! I totally love it - from start to finish!!! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
The greatest human being of the last century. We are lucky to see it all happening now, in our lifetime. Elon is an inspiration. Reminds me of the way I approach my job. I've always push people and they always gave up, so in turn I worked harder by myself to get jobs done. This is what I admire about musk, that drive to do greatness, no matter if I have to do it myself or hard-core People that want help and learn the right way to do things

Fascinating insight into some incredible people. After almost every DOAC podcast, including this one, I leave thinking “I’m grateful that people in this world are doing such amazing things, but I definitely don’t want their life!”
Other reflection… wouldn’t it be amazing for Walter to write a biography on Steven. I know Steven already documents a lot (vlog etc), but it would be super interesting to hear/read it from the perspective of a world class storyteller!
