Hi DAOC Team,
In recent weeks, I have recognized that each podcast is ending roughly at 2.5 mins prematurely. This has been consistent for short and long episodes. Although it can be an annoyance during guest podcasts, it is increasingly worse when listening to the early days of the Diary of A CEO podcast. I have enjoyed the new and old episodes for about 18 months and decided to make a recent change to listen to the early series from 2017. Those episodes have been amazing to listen to and wish I had when they were first released due to relatability. Unfortunately, each of those podcasts ends abruptly and often in the middle of an important statement or reflection. Is that a glitch in the system or something I can be resolved on my end? I use Apple Podcast to listen to your channel and have attempted to resolve it through settings in the application as well as the device with no luck. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

I’m a fan and truly find most of your guests very fascinating. Great work on choosing guest wisely! I like that the interview is not limited to an hour too. Here’s my feedback. I noticed though that you have a bit of skepticism and judgmental personality when you don’t agree with your guest. Alignment on your core values and mission are important! You seem to believe what you see in the media rather than taking the information of what your guest tells you as their story and their truth. There seems to be bias on your end before asking them the tough questions. I love the Adam Neumann’s interview and many others. I suggest you rewatch or listen again to this particular interview, to see and hopefully learn about you. While he opened up his story, a part of you is not believing him. While all those are truly irrelevant, that’s their story to tell. I say be present with your guest, believe at the moment, but obviously you will form your opinion later and your takeaway, the same way your audience do! I love your show anyway, again I’m a fan! According to you, you valued feedback, hence this is the feedback. Best wishes, Steve! Great show.

This podcast is a huge help for getting my life together tbh. Not only has it made me a better person but it’s interesting enough to keep me committed to my goals without dying of boredom. Thank you for introducing me to so many amazing people. Thank you for keeping me entertained on my daily walks and when I’m traveling. You’re successful for a reason don’t listen to haters.

This is the second British podcast I regularly listen to, and I have to say, the repeated framing of America as a country in decline is getting tiresome. Your pointed questions about the “fall of America” often seem to come from a strangely pompous assumption that Britain somehow knows better.
America certainly has problems and deserves criticism, but so does Britain. We settled our differences a long time ago, built our own country without British intervention, and have done rather well for ourselves.
I enjoy the podcast and Steven’s interviews, which is why I continue listening. But challenging America is one thing; repeatedly approaching it from a position of British superiority is another.
That version makes your criticism much harder to dismiss as simply “an angry American.” It tells him exactly what bothers you while also making clear that you actually listen to and value the show.

I was a big fan of this man and his thoughtful approach to his podcast as an in depth conversation to explore nuances of complex topics when he started. But it has veered into clickbait with anti-science flavoring and misogyny to my great disappointment. In the quest for rapid revenue, he has given up the core of what made him exceptional at the beginning. And the subtle and not-so subtle bashing of women by making men’s problems women’s fault is maddening. While there are still nuggets to be gleaned, the nonsense you have to wade through to get to it is not worth it. Such a shame.
