Mo is right about the podcasts...Your interviews touch on such deep topics, having one a week would give me the ability/time to really digest the information. Just my take...but then I'm no billionaire so perhaps I'm not your target audience. I will say, as someone who has faced the very real possibility of death on more than one occasion, the time you have with your girlfriend may be unexpectedly shortened...do yourself a favor and use the time you have to make the most of what you have. My husband and I celebrate the anniversary of when we met, when we married and the anniversary of every month...And I know that one day I will look back and be glad we did.

1 year of chronic work related stress caused autoimmune disease that almost killed me. The business owner begged me to stay so I stayed until I finally ended up in the hospital. My shutting down body forced me to quit my job. It took me 3 months to build my body back and nearly went homeless. I almost lost everything. I will NEVER sacrifice my health to help someone else get rich ever again!

Totally agree as it has taken me a few weeks to watch, digest and re watch due to so many gems, all resonated with me, but needed to listen on repeat as Mo spoke to me. Quality over Quantity
Was not expecting that tail end segment about relationships. I came into the podcast thinking I'd get a lesson on how to handle stress but walked away with life lessons, or experiences at the very least, that my parents have never even once talked to me about. It's absurd how I'm learning more about life by listening to random strangers talk than from the people who raised me.
I had to pause the video to take this interview in. “Why is life supposed to be lived. We spend most of it planning to live it.” Man… 👏
Mo has been on this show like... 3-4 times now... and every time, it's amazing. I love his perspective. This man has RESILIENCE, as most of us know he suffered a tremendous loss of a child. I have the utmost respect for MG, and I thank Steven for bringing Mo back on. Your team should discuss having Mo on like once a week or month and call it a DOAC 'Mo' Minute... but I'd listen to Mo Gawdat for hours.
You are so right regarding the childhood impact on stress-I saw my parents fighting so much to pay the bills-They only told me to study hard and always have a job which I did-started as an intern with IBM at 19 years old and never stopped working like crazy for big IT companies. I am glad COVID gave us the opportunity to work from home and rebalance our work life balance. Now I put myself first!! I want to enjoy my life with a peaceful mind and have time to go to the gym. I wish I have done these changes earlier!

I now have time to have a better relationship with her, my family, with eating right, with looking at my finances. I stopped eating the fast food I was bringing home cuz im too tired to cook. Everything changed for the better. Good changes came from a tough situation.

Prioritized my well being 4 yrs ago & cut work back to what feels tolerable (I'm self employed) & have a good work life balance now. Problem is that I'm now 30g's in debt which creates an entirely different steess. Cost of living went up so much & I've considered moving & cutting costs, have consulted 5 or 6 advisors over the past 4 yrs & there's no good solution.. there are no reasonable ways to cut costs.. so problems arise when prioritizing your well-being which in turn is bad for your well-being... it's tricky to figure out the balance which is partly why people don't try.. it's tough

If it helps. When I was trying to find out why I drank alcohol to access I was obsessed with trying to find the answer. Then someone said “if you want to know why you drink, stop drinking and you’ll find out.” So I did stop and wow did I ever find out why I drank. 😮That was 25 years ago and I’ve not drunk alcohol since the day I stopped. Maybe you should just stop and see what happens. I was told the alcohol is waiting for me if I want to start again. Same in your case.

It’s time for him to shed the old beliefs that tie his value to an endless pursuit, making room for a life that is more grounding, fulfilling, and wise. I think he’s ready to take the time to focus on what he has long said matters to him, inspiring us to do the same along the way.

This is so nice of you to say. He makes a very reasonable recommendation to him
All interviews with Mo have been awesome, but this one really hit hard multiple times. Thank you both for your honesty and vulnerability. Amazing, important and much needed conversation.
Today is the third day of a long overdue vacation. I listened to this podcast twice...started at 6:30am EST. Powerful stuff. Now time to go do it. Thanks Steven.🇯🇲
Mo genuinely seems like such a wonderful guy, could listen to him all day. I'm glad he decided to share his knowledge and thoughts with the world. Absolutely love every podcast you've had with him.
This has been the most re assuring podcast for me to listen to in recent memory. Thank you for helping to restore my faith in a meaningful life.
Wait, we get mo Gowdat and Gary Brecka in the same week?? The fact that we get all this information for free should be illegal. I cant thank this Channel enough
Mo Gawdat, what an incredibly wise man. Loved this one ❤️
One of the most kindest conversation I have listened to..I have been my most stressful self this entire year, this is the 1st time ever I have felt this calmness in my soul..thanks for this episode Steve..it's gonna change many people's life..
This almost feels like therapy but requires radical honesty thank you
“Your objective is maximize without ceiling. You think there is a possibility that there is NOTHING. So I might as well have as much as I can. “ #stress On the spot Mo!! Thank you. 🙏
I finished this podcast for the fourth time, in 3 weeks?!!. This conversation is truly inspiring and phenomenal. I love the entire conversation and I hope you two get to create more together soon. Thank you for all the wisdom, because of you I get to grow in more ways I could have ever imagined.
Wow! The way Mo communicated his needs to his very good friend is so informative. Using logic in relationship and having the wisdom to take care of one's own mental health first and then taking loving action steps to execute...what kind of impact with this have on relationships if we all learned this skill.
Listening to this while I’m on sick leave from work due to a burnout 🙃

I have been binging your channel podcasts. I must say that Steven you are an excellent interviewer. You pause, let the guest speak, do your research and ask amazing questions. Your voice has an pleasant tone when listening. You give each guest so much respect it is refreshing. I learn so much with each one and I am so grateful.
By far, the best 3 hours invested in myself in a long time. Excellent content ❤!!!... I'll repeat it with a notebook the next time ❤
Loved this sooo much.dont ever say...."I'm gonna let you go"...it's passive aggressive. I cried at tge end of this. Then I sent it to all of my favorite people
I'm so sorry for your loss Mo, its just awful so many good people passed. The fact your heart hurts is a sign of how fantastic they were, and there is a profound wisdom in your words that helps to teach us all - life is a beautiful pain and even when life is painful we should try to find the beauty in the present. Merci ewi and all the best
I’ve got CFS/ME through burnout after years of relentless stress and trauma; VERY long story. I’m also a Hypnotherapist and stress is absolutely highly addictive. I don’t want anyone to live with burnout ❤
I've had 2 strokes from stress (at age 27) and even still now at 32, im constantly stressed - with work. The struggle I have is actually finding the head space to even think about changing work / career. with two 2 year old's, changing work or taking a salary cut isnt viable so feels like im stuck in a box. Really interesting listen, going to have another listen to try and digest more of the conversation
Covid was the best thing that happened for me re evaluate my life and choices.
I love Mo’s delivery. It reminds me of a sped-up Yoda. Such wise advice. Thank you 🙏🏻
Oh my, that was out standing! Thank you both so much! What a privilege to hear such stunning intellect grounded in common sense, coupled with wisdom, extraordinary vulnerability and soul bearing. I'm in tears and feel as if I am sitting the table with you. I'm going to watch it again to take notes and pre-order the book. Thank you for this precious gift🙏
Gosh the last question regarding the 30 second call… I’m in tears. Beautiful ❤
My dad day after you know what heart attack. Thankfully survived. Me at 36 week after second you know what. Heart attack. Thankfully survived. Anecdotal all you want. Never again. Changed my whole world view.

Yesssss just seen preview .. ❤ this guy everything he says is accurate! Can’t wait to view it shortly thanks Steven for having mo on as a guest again . Really enjoyed the last time he was on ❤
I had a heart attack at 35, hospital didn't know what to do with me, it left me emotionally vulnerable after recovery, as a result I was exploited in a relationship that has left me ruined financially, but I am rebuilding, health before wealth is what I have learned. I can always earn more money, but ill never get my hearts full capacity back, and no idea how much it diminished my life expectancy. Heart attacks are quite a horrible thing to live thorough, if you are lucky enough to survive one. Fitness and diet control and not being sedentary and managing stress and loneliness are key.
I totally agree with the 2 video per week comment from Mo. The podcasts are great but they’re so long that they can’t be watched both and I end up watching bit here and bits there and never really watching the entire podcast and missing some too!
It is the most thought-provoking interview I've ever watched. Thank you. 🙏
What an incredible soul I finished this episode with tears of love…thank you
Thanks for the talk, after this I decided to quit my job that the stress of it caused me cancer and so many more complications. THANK YOU BOTH!

Steve, I’ve come to love your podcasts and have listened for over a year now. Find that ceiling, we’ll be here! This was one of my favourite episodes to date. Having begun to change my personal script several years ago, I found this interview exceedingly validating. Much gratitude for your intelligence, humour, and heart 🙏🏼
Such a pure interview never ever seen it before .... 3 hours podcast is a healthy and educated podcast i would definitely re-watch this interview again when I am free 👏👏👏👍👍 you both were brilliant
I looooove Mo! Is always THE BEST GUEST can’t get enough of him. ❤
I’m two hours in and can’t wait to continue tomorrow. I’m SO GRATEFUL you let this run so long. Mo’s first appearance here had a profound impact on me... and this already is too. Thank you❤
I love Mo and Steven, they have such a great vibe together! Laughs, Giggles, wisdom, heart-grabbing moments, so much food for thought, I mean, it has it all!! Thank you, Steven and Mo :)
Best interview yet. A great honest friend to Steven, I hope he listens
I listened to this entire discussion, and there's nothing that I can't agree on, everything is spot on, the professional stuff, but also the personal stuff. I don't think people realize, how hard it is, after going through such intense bad stuff, and to remain not only sane, but ever caring and mindful of others, is not easy
Yes Steven, just do this !!!! 100% - it has such a wonderful, positive impact on so many lives x
Wow, the way you two challenge each other's thinking, perspective, and lives is really engaging in a way that is rare and incredibly valuable! It is quite brilliant! I need to listen again! The way Mo speaks of loss and how we spend our time got me so hard as I recently lost my mom(mum). She was sick with cancer, and it has made me realize exactly what he spoke of as well as many other things. Thank you again to both of you for these in-depth life changing conversations! 🙏🏻🧡🙌✨️🔥
Right - what about people who must work to pay rent and feed their kids and can't afford break? It is easy to say when you have money in the bank. :/

That's fair. Us Commoners are struggling for one reason or because of many reasons. "It's Possible to commit no mistakes and still loose" Picard TNG to Data. What can the commoner do? Having too many kids will put you in poverty, keeping up with the Jones will put you there too.

From my perspective, it’s not about taking a break from life and stepping away. It’s about recognizing “why you are doing what you are doing” with the respect of what you are doing shouldn’t stress yourself to the point where you are physically being impaired. Finding the balance is hard. But it could also be just taking time for you at the end of the day to center yourself and invest in yourself, just as much as you are investing in others.
Thank you for your work! So many wonderful thoughts in every episode of this podcast ❤ Greetings from Germany.
This has to be the most profound and meaningful podcast episode I've ever watched. I paused it so many times to 'catch my breath' and 'feel the emotions'. As someone who experienced burnout two weeks ago, this episode really helped me make sense of so many things. Thank you, Steve and Mo🙏🙏
