Now THIS is a new chapter for The Diary of a CEO. More billionaires incoming.

I flew from the Uk on virgin some 15 years ago, and as we boarded the plane, Richard Branson was welcoming people in. We were the last to board so he asked us to join him in first class. We chatted all the way and he had his notebook with him and scribbled away. It was a pleasure to meet him, a real gent. I'll never forget it and have followed him ever since. As a fellow dyslexic, he is truly inspiring to me.

April 2024, for those of you who struggled with Sir Richard Bransons stammering .. his dyslexia has never stopped him aiming toward higher spaces in the world, to be the person that he is and continues to be today. WOW is all I can say in this interview. Brilliant. Thank you.

You did a terrific job of interviewing Sir Richard Branson. I can imagine you not getting much sleep the night before. Your questions were thoughtful, insightful and meaningful. Better than what he would be asked elsewhere. I really got to feel his essence and sense his sensitivity. I do hope that reaching this pinnacle in your podcast, is not the top of the mountain, but the start of the next one. Well done Steven. Professional journalists need to take a leaf from your book.

i met richard once years ago in his at the time new training centre in crawley i was electician i had to ask him what sockets he wanted in his office above the main entrance he was such a nice man he made me feel like i mattered and he was so down to earth he cared about my opinion he is a normal as me

I am genuinely sorry for your loss Mr Branson and feel deep compassion for your circumstances. Big hugs to you and your loved ones 🫂 everything will work out for you...thank you for your raw honesty...take care of you..

During a very low period, a sad phase in my life I happened to pick up Richards book and he made a total about turn in my life. I could say it saved me and made me a better person. Richard probably will never know the good influence he oozes to others. ❤ his style and lift. 👍☘️

It is amazing how much you can learn about such range of matters through the conversations Steve has with his guests. Inspiring people with great knowledge about their field and beyond. If it’s not yet the most important Podcast, it should definitely be the most important. The people that Steve brings to the table are the biggest influencers in the world! A big thanks from Nicaragua 🇳🇮.

I worked in a 5⭐ hotel in Ireland a few years ago, and printed in the handbook was a quote which read; "Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don't want to". I have wanted to work for Richard Branson ever since then. He sounds amazing and sounds likes a really great man to work for. As the saying goes; "look after your staff and your staff will look after your business". I do hope the hotel brand would remove this quote from their handbook, because they train people like crap and they treat them the same way. Sadly.

Such an incredible episode, I can imagine this as a pinch me moment for you! Seeing your growth of this over the years is truly inspiring and so proud of your journey and how many lives you are helping with these insightful conversations!

Never miss an episode of DOAC. It is inspiring to hear him talk about his mum, especially as I found parallels between her and mine in the principled as well as professional sense. Not only that, when I was the same age, my mum was also reading Richard's autobiography, and so he has been this inspiring character for over a generation.

It's not if you have a court case. Its why so many dyslexic men are in jail currently I think. The system can write faster than some people can read. It's literally that. They could be innocent or and productive. There's a gap in the market for diagnosis and Advocates for dyslexic people who can't afford legal fees but could pay something towards the help. It's a politically charged hornets nest if anyone did it. But it's a good fight. It looks as if there this help but in reality it's not in place. I am a dyslexic and no help diagnosed late in life dyslexic people in my experience don't give up easily. But it's a double bind system where winning is for losers. Here's the to do list of what's necessary 1) Decent reading software qnd extra appointments for dyslexics. 2)Advocates qnd accounting for dyslexic people in court proceedings. 3) Training given to legal professionals so they understand their own neurodivergence and how this can colour their perception of how dyslexic people work. 4)Memory prompts and notes allowed in court if the person has memory issues. 5) intelligence tests that are dyslexia friendly 6) loan people assistive technology 7) 3xtra time given for reading court documents. 8) Extra time for legal aid representatives to go through dyslexic peoples anointing of documents. 9) Disability laws change so that everyone has a fair trial. 10) Inclusion on the ground that there is different people who learn differently and that's OK. = culture change. 11) Thanks for listening. Dyslexic people do communicate in unconventional ways. We break social norms if necessary because the apparatus wasn't designed for us. It's a different more wordy neurotype. It doesn't make us mad bad or wrong. ✌️
