42:55: The answer is more conversations between ppl on all sides looking to build bridges to understand each others perspectives. Cancel culture is hideous.
Excellent podcast, just stumbled across you today Steven, keep up the great work! 👊🏻
Amazing! Would love to be there to see how it’s all done, being among this electric progressive energy ✨
First content of yours I’ve been fortunate to view. Subscription earned. Recognise.
This CD has three separate relaxation/meditation sessions on it ruclips.net/user/postUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq guided by a very pleasant and direct male voice. Unlike so many other products of its type, this CD does not have bad synthesizer music, does not feature a phony or affected style of narration, and does not make any bogus claims to be subliminal or to re-train the brain or any of that balderdash. What you get is 1. a guided meditation for getting into a pleasantly relaxed state of body awareness while taking a stroll (superb for those easing back into a fitness routine slowly after an illness or injury) 2. A nice long breath-awareness relaxation session that if followed diligently can put you into very deep states of full-body relaxation and mental calmness, and 3. a buddhist-inspired meditation session designed to help you develop and maintain feelings of loving kindness toward not just yourself and your friends, but toward people you don't even like. The CD makes no claims to be designed for advanced meditators or for buddhists or hindus/yoga practitioners looking for very deep and esoteric stuff. It is geared more toward the average person who just wants to develop the habit of relaxation and stress relief through natural, healthy means. him, if you happen to be reading this, keep up the good work fella, and I love your accent. I would also like to note that I have never fallen asleep while listening to this product. I would like to kindly suggest to the reviewer who said this CD makes him fall asleep, that he might want to get checked to see if he has a sleep disorder, or if he is simply not setting aside ample time for restful sleep at night. A healthy person getting adequate rest at night should be able to go into deep states of mental relaxation without dozing off, if not all the time, then most of the time.
One thing I like more so about Steven in all of his interviews on here, he actively listens more than he actually talks himself, patience of a saint, he allows his guest to talk openly for however long it takes without interrupting. Other RUclips podcasters and interviewers take note, this is how to do it, make the story about the guest not about you, respect goes a long long way. Great video as always Steven, it goes without saying, still the best interview videos on RUclips.
I'm late to his podcasts,this is only the 5th or 6th I've watched but you're right on point,that's what I've taken from the few I've listened to. He obviously does his research and has questions but once the person is there,he sits,listens and just allows them to tell their story for however long or short their answer may be,and doesn't jump from one thing to the next question on a list,he goes with the flow and where that person's mind is,which is pretty refreshing to hear instead of a barrage of questions just for the sake of it. Even when he does bring in something about himself,it's not coz he's wanting to talk about himself,it's coz he's relating and using it gain more insight as well as making the person feel heard and understood which brings out the best in his guests. It's almost like an informative therapy session for us viewers. (Sorry,that was a pretty long-winded way in my own words of saying I agree with you. I'd be a terrible interviewer 🙈)
@@desertbanshee8167 Thanks for your comment, appreciated. Also, you didn't come across long winded, just able to express your thoughts to the written (typed) word. :)
Men like ant is what your country needs, a true hero we all need 👏👏👏👏👏
wish he would go on rogan, kudos for this guy for getting him on.very honest interview
Joe should definitely get some British SF guys on for sure
Definitely agree
You fuck. I planned on commenting that before I looked this up!
Why do you need him on Rogan ? He is on here.
@@Ballerism because it would let more people know about this guy
I think its a very good interview, but what makes it so good is Steven allows Ant to talk. There are lessons for other podcasters to learn. Question then listen, Question then listen!
Excellent interview. I love Ant’s positivity and integrity. When I look back at any problems I’ve had in life they can all be linked to my lack of being true to myself.
Love him or hate him, he is true to himself and how many people can say that these days! I refuse to censor myself. I am me and nothing else. I am happy with that even if others are not. I am under no illusions, some people will hate me but my family love who I am and their opinions are the ones that matter to me. Like Lennon once said "Being honest won't get you a lot of friends but it will always get the right ones"
Ant, I respect you even though I haven't agreed with all your views. The respect is born out of your unapologetic belief that you are being yourself. Nothing more, nothing less.
This man is a legend ,and his advice about your demons struck a cord with me ,I was Abused as an 8 yr old Boy ,whom went on to serve in the British Army, I was infantry for several years ,I deal with my Demons ,but I,ll never let them Beat me.
Good on you mate, keep going!!
G-d bless you brother. I've also been through great trauma. Still standing! One day at a time. There is always a way
Fair play to Ant and ollie for staying True to thier values ,a definite rarity in recent times , OUTSTANDING.
Well done Eddie. Hope life is a bit easier for you now
Do well brother I wish you all the best
Hi Steven I was lying in hospital last night listening to this podcast and it was like a lightbulb was turned on in my head! I’ve listened to thousands of podcasts but this one has literally blown my mind!
I just had to come on and leave a comment #Positivity
I’m a bit late to the party on this one. What an amazing interview with Ant who has clearly defined spirituality to me. It’s different for all and has always been something I’ve never been sure what it is. This is it. The demons, the reflection, a story. (life is a story) well told . Thank you both.
Lol guess that makes me double late!! I agree! If you’ve been through extreme adversity, and had to not only face but accept your own mortality on a daily basis, it can be very spiritually awakening!
As a great man once said! To live is to suffer. But to survive is to find meaning in the suffering!!
The biggest fallout I ever had with my son was when he didn't qualify for entrance to university of "my" choice. It has to be my biggest regret as a parent in the way I reacted, I was totally out of line. 10 years later he has gone on to excel on his choosen career/route through life.
Worst thing a parent could do force their kid to do something they probably didnt want to do
of course that has to be a horrifying realisation as a parent - but kudos to you for realising it and saying it out loud. just like Ant is saying, you’re honest with yourself even if it isn’t comfortable- that’s admirable. awareness is the first step to rectifying the mistake or the situation. Go u man
@Kate Moore honestly i know so much worse could have been done but, still you dont force your kid to do something you want them to do as later in life it will backfire
@Betty Amber neow hate my parents love tryna force their shit on me si thi
Cancel culture needs to stop
Well, if we stop caring, the left will eventually just start to cancel each other (which is happening currently) and they will just destroy themselves, sad to see but it looks like it's going to be the outcome
@@wardy540 Yup. Then a new hipster bandwagon will come along for the kids to jump on and be shouty and angry and intractable about. That's how it works. 🤷🏾♀️
You realise how ludicrous that sounds right?
In effect you are saying cancel culture doesn't fit with how you think, therefore it in itself needs to be cancelled? Are you quite sure?
Cancel that Cancel Culture? Hypocrite?
@@danjames4086 you have a warped way of thinking. That’s like saying if you’re in favour of freedom, you can’t restrict someone’s freedom by stopping them from restricting other people’s freedom. That sort of nonsense gets us nowhere.
I’ve a,ways said it, mindset is the most important thing in life. I realised this at 18, when I changed my life for the better. Don’t get me wrong, mindset is incredibly hard to maintain, but very important. Something you’ve always got to keep on top of
👊🏽
This was an extremely high consciousness conversation with an incredible amount of wisdom. Thanks guys!!!
No it wasn't! LMFAO!
It was the equivalent of two teenagers having a ‘deep’ conversation after downing a litre of cheap cider. Nothing to see here, move along…
As ex squaddie this amazing guy who's got the highest 2 ranks SBS and SAS .
don't surprise me this amazing story as squaddies join army 2 reasons ..
1. U waz a victim of bullying or divorce and not having a father in ur life . And ur joining army to be a MAN X ..
2.. YOU join as you have no purpose of life. No trade just being honest with urself x. ..
Or ant ? Loves the violence the drink. But ain't gonna talk 4him but I'm pretty sure was anger out his parents.
I served in basra. 2002 to before 2005 December. Was years of he'll 4me .. lost over 40 lose squaddies from my regiment royal artillery 1st battalion . R.i.p brothers .
This guy is amazing and love to shake this man's hand. Read his book and I've passed his teaching to my 3 boys . What a guy 👊👊🙏
This could be my favourite one so far! Thanks Steven and Ant.
🙏🏽 thank you Paul
This type of content is really important. Sometimes we question ourselves so much, and trying to find the answers is so challenging that we put a stop to our journey, giving up too quickly. Being your truest form is something I was so afraid of and now having listened to this podcast along others. Made me realise what I really want to get out of my life. Thank you so much @stevebartlett and Ant Middleton so this. You’ve opened up some new and exciting experiences and challenges for me.
"I hope nobody's listening; but if you are, please keep this to yourself" made me hit subscribe.
I really enjoyed this chat. First time on this YT Channel and I'm really impressed. Ant is a legend and as strong minded as they come, keep these solid guests coming.
this has to be hands down my favourite podcast so far ! absolutely loved this ! Ant's mindset is something else... admirable, so inspiring !
I'm a grown woman and i can relate to Mr middleton on so many Levels its a shock 2 the System 💞
Another great podcast, really good to hear this side of Ant and his whole take on recent events
First time watcher. A sign of a great host that allows Ant to be himself, making him feel comfortable enough to be open and honest.
Wow this hit me hard, got to share “A genius is the man who can do the average thing when everyone else around him is losing his mind.”
I really wish there were more people in the world like Ant.
Be who you are and be honest with yourself and everyone around you.
And if people don't like who you are or what you are, keep those people out of your life.
The world needs more Ant Middletons...
Fantastic channel... 👍👍👍👍
I’m really fascinated how the DS’s on SAS show, go from the bombastic discipline to the chat they have with the participants in the dark room. Just a few words really, but they get to a heart of what’s going on and this is so much better than a year of therapy where a person tells you what you want to hear. it makes perfect sense, straightforward honesty, no bullshit. So inspiring.
Loved this interview and absoutely love Ant he has lead a phenomenal life and continues to... the world can learn so much from him
If you are not on one side, you are bounced to being the other side is one of the most intelligent observations on what is wrong with society today. Huge respect to Ant for saying that.
This is not an interview, it is a lecture for those who want to reflect on themselves.
Steve has the most underrated podcasts! Another quality episode!!
Thank you Will, appreciate it 🙏🏽
Wow once again glued to the screen listening to Ant. Just love the simple approach and being honest with yourself. I like to think that all the podcasts I have listened to all the messages resonate providing me with a perfect blend of self discovery. Thank you
Recently read a book called "the courage to be disliked" it's a game changer and the mindest of Ant is exactly what is said. Follow these prinicples and be happy.
Just purchased said book for a bargain price.
This was fantastic! Quality conversation and content. Appreciate you both Steven and Ant.
Fantastic interview. Could listen to Ant talk all day. So much sense, can learn a lot from him
lol
Being uncomfortable for me allows me to get my demons out and let go
My mindset feels close on some levels to this man he speaks quite plainly and yet in depth
Cool guy
Hi Steven. First time watching one of these since listening to your awesome book. When Ant talked about identifying who he was on the steps of the jobcentre and when he said "if you dont change, nothing will change around you". Hit the nail on the head when he talked about society, comfort and being restrained. So much food for thought. I remember the story in your book about the rats. I totally got what Ant meant by going against the grain of what we are supposed to be and also about the leaves. This was a very interesting chat. Thanks for sharing this!
hi simone 👋🏽 welcome. thanks for watching
Took me a little while to warm up to this episode but I'm so glad I stayed. Ant is honestly one of the most self-aware and honest people I have ever come across - his words were incredibly moving at times. Definitely going to turn them societal dials down a little bit more going forward. Thanks for another great episode Steven ❤
ants even more aggresive than soccor hooligans, hard to believe
This is amazing! Seeing a totally different side to Ant here and have now bought his books! Well done Steve 👏👏
Never knew Ant was so spiritual without even knowing it. He touches on a lot of very deep understandings for someone who has never read any books about spirituality it’s crazy. New liking for the man
dude instead of reading books and following commercial gurus, combined experience and introspection to get what he portrays here
@@VigilantGuardian6750 Yeh I think “read any books” probably isn’t what I meant. I think it was more that he said he didn’t even really know what spirituality was. But you’re right It is more of a feeling than a concept but reading can play a huge part in it imo, but you have to live what you’ve read experientially not just have the mental understanding 👍
Just stumbled on this interview. It is somewhat unique as I felt very much like I was seeing a completely different Ant Middleton and it was incredibly raw and honest and refreshing.
He is my inspiration. I listen to all his interviews and motivational speeches. Positivety is everything, I agree. Thankyou Ant.
Can you guess what Ant Middleto'ns favorite subject is????? Yes you guessed it...... Ant Middleton!
*guy gets interviewed about his life
You: *Ant only talks about himself
Stop being silly or hating people because they are better than yourself. That's toxic.
Fantastic, one of the best interviews I've seen Ant do.Truly entertaining...
Can't believe I've only just been recommended this channel! Steve is amazing and the way comes across is brilliant. Good luck for the future👍🏻
Love this interview! Very refreshing to hear something real
I have to be honest, wasn't completely feeling this at the start but the more I heard Ant talk, the more engrossed I became and the more I really started to take it on board. Ended up loving it by the end
100% the same feeling.
I do doubt ants authenticity, thinking that deep at 5? Not a chance, a 5 year old doesn't think like that.
I think he knows what to say, mental health, authentic, be yourself, don't offend, etc etc blah blah blah
Slightly mixed views on this if I’m honest.
Parts interesting, parts really repetitive.
Great Podcast Steven/Ant, very inspiring listening to you both openly talk about how we all as humans need to find our own positive mindset 👍
Lucky you, Ant to find 'you' at 23. That's young. I think some of us never do.
Looking at yourself in the mirror and being able to say that you've done your best and always stayed true to yourself is so liberating! Because pretending to be something your not is just way to exhausting! And it is as Ant said, so simple. Loved this episode! Thank you
💖
Steve ,I had no idea who you were until 2 hours ago.I am astonished by the content,and the empathy you display.This was outstanding,your possibly greatest asset is that the show or video is not ego or issue led,you have no agenda as such.You make or direct the content about your guest and only contribute when you have a wothwhile comment to make.You allow your guest to talk,which is so refreshing,it doesn't turn into the "Me,Me,Me Show".You have a new subscriber.Astonishing,thank you,I was entertained,educated ,and best of all you both inspired me to look at things in a different way,which is the whole point of reading,watching and listening to anything,in my opinion.Ten out of ten.
Exactly. And he's a relatively young guy. Many long in the tooth media interviewers don't have his talent. If, in the end, he is lured away into the mainstream, I hope he's able to hang on to that. It's what makes him and the series stand out and outstanding. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
p
This was such a fascinating episode! I love how much honesty, authenticity, and reflection you naturally bring out of your podcast guests 💥
Ant is by far the most inspirational person ever. His mindset is on such an elite level compared to 95% of the population. I would genuinely love nothing more than to sit down and talk to him on this level. What a Guy!
Couldn't agree more. Its people like him that I look for in this ever controlling, WOKE, soft society. The world will be a very different place in 20 years time if people like Ant Middleton stay silent.
@@mjparry7796 There's zero chance of Ant Middleton staying silent..
@@mjparry7796 WOKE left n right are the problem
With a thew beers
Sas training and doing dangerous missions across the world made this mans brain. The guy is unbelievable
This podcast has made me think. Although life experiences couldn’t be more different the ethos of his interview is so applicable to life generally. Brilliant interview I’m now a subscriber!
Thanks Ant. Spent a life time of people saying, why do you make life so hard, why do you take the difficult route. I thought one it was challange. When I looked back and knowone was following I had to reevaluate. It was my peace. The selection of 2 options. No confusion.
SAS “who dares wins” was a great program, but it’s like everything ...time moves on. Knowing when to close one chapter and having the guts to create open a new 1 is unique ....
It's still going lad.
@@Not_Invisible_117 recorded a long time ago
All these SAS programmes are a pile of shit and Middleton knows it.
Yeah. I think what he's doing now is really important. I actually think he's getting his message across to alot of young men now.
@@JohnSmith-le5oe less shit than most programs though
I went to see him live on tour back in 2019, his mindset is inspiring. Another great guest Steve!
Im going later this year cant wait was it good 🙏
Can't believe i waited this long to listen to this. Fantastic,.
Yes wow what an episode. And when both of you understand/recognise/accept your connection with your higher self you’ll be a spiritual member of earth.
That was a great meeting.. It has helped me alot to hear the honesty and clarity in this chat.. Thank you both for your time 🔥
This is top quality. Both on point with so much content. Enjoyed this so much. This podcast just gets better and better!
thanks richard, glad to hear you enjoyed
I keep finding myself thinking every new episode is my favourite (that means you're doing something right).
Ant is cut from a different cloth reading his book and he's so inspiring and relatable
To think I could get to watch my favourite podcast behind the scenes!!! Omg 😍
ANT has gone through the most his mindset is elite 💯
These podcasts are class ! I've read most of Ants books and they have changed my perspective on life. I know you want me to keep it to myself Steve but I had to share this one as its too good not to. 👏👏
This video was exactly what I needed to watch today. What an amazing podcast.
the world needs more hero's like Ant, too many outspoken cowards
Wow, thank you for this. I didn't know I had so much in common with ant, he's articulated things about me I couldn't.
That was a fantastic Interview Steven much respect. Ant massive respect for really diving deep into your self and being your self and speaking truth and seeking truth learned alot here thank you.
Great interview! First 2 minutes had me hooked and was a such a great message and the thing I had to hear at such the perfect time
Fantastic interview, I have great respect for Ant Middleton, honest and courageous, kind and wild😊, hoping to have this mindset
"We can fill our coffins with the rocks they have thrown,
Or we can build our castles with the sticks and the stones"
Castles - Tom MacDonald
Build your castles strong, every stick and stone people throw reinforces how far you can go 💖
Couldn't have put it better myself...👊🏿
This episode is amazing, Ant is talking exactly my language. Being AUTHENTIC and not to let other to say what and how you need to be and do things. Than you
What a deep conversation, especially the part about spirituality and being connected to everything around us in the universe. Really interesting to listen to!
That was a great interview, I could listen to Ant all day. He's my sort of person. 👍
I’m battling some demons myself at the moment and I see man as inspiration how to think and change your set. I love a quote he says ( overcome adapt and improvise)
what’s up man? i had a 20 year demon on my back but shit gets better man
Just brilliant.I have Ants autobiography, very intelligent conversation.well done
Steve
Hi, im 32 years old jist gone and i Lost my mam about 10 month ago, my dad was about 13 year ago. I havnt been doing to well and feeling a but stuck lately, well I say lately, probabley for a few year now if not longer. This has made me think and think about who I really am. I think it's time to get out this "auto pilot" and do something that's out of my comfort zone to really find myself. Cheers both of you this has lifted a weight of my shoulders. I actually feel like I have a bit clarity in my mind just off watching this. 😊
Ant Middleton, Piers Morgan & Jeremy Clarkson now that would be a show....🤣
Boomergasm 💦
The last two are bandwagon-jumping media luvvies, no matter how honed their 'straight talking' media persona. If AM ends up like them (or is bullshitting and is already like them), he would be selling out big time.
The show could be called "2 Entitled Cnuts and Ant Middleton"
Piers Morgan the worst most horrible knt and Clarkson not a million miles behind
Do not care what anyone thinks of you unless you admire them. Pain is learning condenced.
"Do not care what anyone thinks of you unless you admire them" is phenomenal advice
Keep speaking your truth Ant Middleton! Your voice in this world is needed, simple wisdom from knowing yourself.
Wow, always knew this but so good to hear it out loud, some much stuff what has been said really hit home.
Just finished watching. Chipping away at negativity to find the seeds of positivity ... putting myself in awkward situations so I can feel if it is me .... getting as close as I can to being my perfect self .... and above all, being true to me! All of this, and more, resonated with me. Thank you Ant Middleton for sharing yourself so deeply! Thank you Steven Bartlett, as always ... yet another fantastic episode! ❤
🙏🏽 thank you
@@TheDiaryOfACEO ❤
I’ve always liked Ant. He’s someone I respect. I’m not saying I’d agree with him on some topics but completely respect him. He’s had his problems including problems with the law but he had a tough upbringing. Losing his father at a young age and gaining an abusive step father. He’s wise, and fought hard
Wow love this interview with & love the chat you both had !
Honestly- one of the best podcast’s / programs I’ve ever listened to.
I relate 💯% to this
Wow! Thank you Ant, I cried, I relate to your conversation so much, thank you ❤️🙏
This one is absolutely mind blowing, thank you again for another amazing podcast
🙏🏽 thank you harriet
This is my favorite talk I have heard for a while, especially the last 10 minutes, resonated with me, keep it up
WOW! such a great watch! Actually brought tears to my eyes! Great work guys! 👏🏼 💥
I admire anyone prepared to speak about how they feel and what they think....As long as there is no hate or racism in how you express yourself then that’s how you should honour yourself and how we keep debate and freedom of speech alive....Losing your job through fear of a small minority of attention seekers whilst using the power of social media to destroy a person and their career simply isn’t acceptable and WE NEED to STAND UP to it....
See this as the universe telling you that you need to meet me! Love anyone who seeks to understand themselves to this depth. Inspiring and so interesting.
Could listen to Ant all day. Would like to see more of him. He should record all his expeditions like Everest and whatever he comes up with next. No matter what he does it would be great to watch. I was addicted to every single episode of SAS. so gutted to hear it won’t be back on. Good luck Ant with all you do. Xx❤️👍🏻😊
God....this talk is hitting me so hard....I have never heard any talk (and I have heard tons) that has resonated with my own stuff as this talk. Thamks.
Another Monday counselling session completed and some great work achieved.
Now I know why I've no mirrors in my house, I have many filter layers and well the rest I will keep to myself (you know why)!!!
Thank you Steven/Ant
😂
Great podcast bro, love to see another brother articulating himself properly. Great podcast keep up the amazing interview work. You are going to do great.
thank tyler that means a lot 🙏🏽
this channel is pure value, thank you
Ant's books are a source of strength for me. Utterly amazing. I read hi lights nearly every day on my Kindle.
Managed to put your book down for a second and I’m glad I did! One of my favourites so far! Keep at it 🙌🏼
Haha wow thank you Charlotte!!
What a great guy 👍 and I hope he will continue to do shows in the near future.
Such an amazing interview! Thank you, both ❤
