The Diary of a CEO

do.

I remember hearing Stephen Bartlett, obviously a competitor on the pod scene for me, you know, we're vying for that top spot at the moment.

I'd imagine so.

You can imagine, but I remember Stephen Bartlett, and I've heard it from lots of other places, and I think he borrowed it anyway, but embarrassment is the cost of entry to success.

And I think that, again, that aligns with what you're saying there, doesn't it? You know, put something out there.

Yeah, people might say, well, it's embarrassing or whatever.

And for me, it was such an integral part of me learning.

And even I was listening to Stephen Bartlett the other day, and I have a CEO, he will say to chat TBT, You tell me what book I should read next.

Then I want you to read the book and I want you to break it down into a condensed version of an audio book, like in a podcast, so I can listen to it in an hour.

Isn't it funny? That's where we're going.

I've been going down this deep dive rabbit hole on AI in podcasts and YouTube and Substack and just learning all the things.

And in this episode, Stephen Bartlett was interviewing one of the three godfathers of AI.

His name's Joshua Bengio.

And Stephen was asking him, hey, knowing everything that you know about AI, being literally one of the people who created AI, if your grandson came to you today and said, hey, what should I do with my life? Knowing everything you know about AI and where we're heading as a society, what should I do? And this man's answer had nothing to do with picking the right career.

You're

going for the Stephen Bartlett moment.

Second person to mention.

Don't

get me started on Stephen Bartlett.

What a...

Where's the camera?

After that, I finished university, went into the engineering world and look, I'm very big on, you know, skills and knowledge.

So, you know, Stephen Bartlett's a big, you know, I'm a fan of his.

So I concentrated on those two areas of my career, which you're forced to do as an engineer.

So you've got to go through the four years at university.

Kerr's findings, however, seeped out and reached an even wider audience.

Since his TEDx talk in Buffalo in 2015, Kerr has been interviewed by the New York Times, the Washington Post, Oprah Winfrey for the Oprah podcast, and just recently by the Stephen Bartlett for the popular podcast, The Diary of a CEO.

For more than a decade now, the work has fascinated people across the world.

The research resonates with the public because it validates what so many family members and friends have observed at the bedside of a dying loved one, powerful dreams and visions capable of bringing comfort and meaning to the dying process.

I was listening to this video from Alex Hermosi, and I listen to him every single morning.

I listen to him, Gary Vee, Diary of the CEO, Stephen Bartlett, and Chris Williamson, Modern Wisdom.

Those are my teachers, and it is an absolute blessing that literally free content just to consume of their knowledge.

But Hermosi is really who I listen to a lot in the morning.

Yeah, that's an amazing one.

It was funny, Stephen Bartlett from the Diver CEO podcast, right? He was just in Australia at an event a couple of days ago from when recording this.

And he talked about like doing, like he talked about being the best at number one.

He talked about doing the small things, right? Like doing things that are that are easy, but they're also not easy to do.
