The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett XX
[0] Did you know that the DariVosio now has its own channel exclusively on Samsung TV Plus?
[1] And I'm excited to say that we've partnered with Samsung TV to bring this to life, and the channel is available in the UK, the Netherlands, Germany and Austria.
[2] Samsung TV Plus is a free streaming service available to all owners of Samsung Smart TVs and Galaxy mobiles and tablets.
[3] And along with the Dyeravisio channel, you'll find hundreds of more channels with entertainment for everyone all for free on Samsung TV plus.
[4] So if you own a Samsung TV, tune in now and watch the Dyer of a Cio channel.
[5] right now.
[6] What is it about you that made you successful?
[7] I mean, I've picked up on one, which is really high standards.
[8] The other one I've picked up on the minute you walk through the door, which is you're just a very pleasant human being.
[9] And I'm like, all of these things, if they compound over like 30 years, you're going to get to a really good place.
[10] But is there anything else within, you know, some people are visionaries.
[11] They are, you know, whatever.
[12] Is there anything else where you say, do you know what, that's probably a trait of me that made me successful?
[13] Yeah, I connect the dots.
[14] Okay.
[15] In new ways.
[16] So if that were to be kind of my thing, it's about, have you read the book?
[17] It's called Originals by Adam Grant.
[18] Yes, on there.
[19] Yeah.
[20] So someone gave it to me. Actually, the art teacher in my son's school gave it to me and said, this sounds like you.
[21] And I read it and I was like, oh, you know, when you think you're special?
[22] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[23] And then you read a book and you're like, nope, I'm not special because everybody, he's got it down.
[24] Like every chapter, I was like, oh, yeah, this is me. Oh, yes, this is me. and he talks about in the book about how you become an expert in your area, right?
[25] So you are very deep in expertise in one particular area, but then you're very curious about all this other stuff, which is me. I scan everything, right?
[26] Whether or not I'm really interested in it, I got newsletters coming out of my eyeballs, and I just kind of scan and I'll click on things.
[27] And sometimes I'll just force myself to read something that I have no interest in at all just because there might be something in there.
[28] And I think from doing that, I find new ideas.
[29] That's what creativity is, isn't it?
[30] Yes.
[31] But you have to feed it.
[32] It's like top of funnel, midfuttle, bottom of funnel, right?
[33] And so if you don't have enough top of funnel, but you dry up at the bottom where, you know, there's nothing that comes through.
[34] And then being able to kind of edit a good idea from a mediocre idea, right?
[35] Yeah.
[36] I guess if you come up with a lot, so the more you feed the funnel, then the more stuff you have to look at and then being able to know which one is the one that is actually going to resonate with enough people that it's actually a business.
[37] Because a lot of people, I think, can be quite navel -gazing in, I have this idea and people will care.
[38] Yeah.
[39] So I can also be quite brutal with my own ideas and just go, cares.
[40] You think about it for a couple of months.
[41] And then you have to be able to not fall in love with your own ideas, kind of like with writing.
[42] So writers will say, a really great writer is like, you can't fall in love with your own words.
[43] You need to be able to go into your writing and just chop it out right just so it's succinct and you like you can't love what you did you have to hate what you did and cut it all down so that just the crispy parts are there and I think it's the same with ideas you can spend a lot of time on stuff that nobody cares about and so you have to be able to edit so interesting I completely agree I think about the the successes I've had in my life and it was just a process of like multiple sources from multiple disciplines pull one little dot, as you've said, from those different disciplines.
[44] And then when they come together, so it could be like cryptocurrencies, music and my knowledge of social media.
[45] And then you come together and you go, oh, together it makes something new and interesting and valuable as these three different points of inspiration.
[46] I was going to ask you the question when we're talking about that.
[47] I was like, can you teach someone in your experience to be better at thinking of good ideas?
[48] I think you can provide the environment, right?
[49] But not.
[50] everyone's going to be able to do that.
[51] So there is going to be a cohort of people who just don't think of new ideas.
[52] And they're probably really good at other things.
[53] And that's okay because the world needs all of them, right?
[54] It's like Switzerland.
[55] Like they, you know, some people are plumbers, but they still make 100 grand a year and everybody's happy.
[56] So if we put people in the right seats on the bus, there's such a position.
[57] And that, of course, is management, isn't it?
[58] It's trying to find when someone has talent, but not in a particular area, you make sure they're doing the right thing.
[59] But I think you can, you see this a lot in business school.
[60] Not that I've been there, but I've sat on a lot of panels with people who are entrepreneurs, right?
[61] And they're entrepreneurs because they have done a business plan.
[62] They've done a business model.
[63] They've modeled out what, you know, we can do this.
[64] They haven't come up with, oh, wait, just like you said, if I connect this and this and do it this way or, right, then I can make this happen.
[65] They've said, well, I've gone to Harvard and now I'm going to model out this business plan and I think if we do this and that we can make, oh, look, it's a profit.
[66] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[67] And so there's two ways to come by it, and I guess both are valid.
[68] And especially these days, there's so much money in the universe that people will invest in so many things that you could actually get to a good result by just putting a business plan.
[69] down yeah having tons of money and having gone to harvard which is much easier to get money yes and being in silicon valley and being a white male all that kind of stuff yeah um so it works yeah yeah is it full of passion yeah i don't know maybe if you're passionate about making money that's a passion it's not my way to do it because i just have to be passionate about whatever it is i'm making or selling or you know whatever i think i'm improving if it's improving people's existence, then I'm passionate about it.
[70] And it was like so amazing to be at bliss and have people coming in and walk out the door after their treatment feeling like so happy.
[71] And you could see it, right?
[72] And they just had such a great time.
[73] And you thought, well, I'm responsible for that.
[74] And what a great thing to do all day.
[75] And then the same with Beauty Pie, right, is, wow, people open up these boxes that they get delivered.
[76] And it is like, it's like a fairy tail and it didn't cost them much so they can treat themselves because everybody needs a little lift once in a while and to be able to get this incredibly deluxe stuff for such an affordable price you know every time one of those boxes opens up that somebody is just feeling thrilled and that is a reason to like show up in the morning right yeah yeah did you know that the DiRivaccio now has its own channel exclusively on Samsung TV Plus, and I'm excited to say that we've partnered with Samsung TV to bring this to life, and the channel is available in the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, and Austria.
