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, right now when I watch you on Instagram the feel that I get from you versus pretty much everybody else other than one of the person I've got to be honest and he's sat in this chair and he's actually coming back is Joe Wicks like when I met Joe Wix he is the guy you meet off off off off air or whatever is the same guy and he's so fucking genuine and all he cares about is like genuinely helping people but the reason I said to try said I think the reason you're so successful is because you are yourself and yeah You will share it all.
[5] And when I was watching you on Instagram and watching some of your videos, you cater to the 99 % of people's lives, which is the real shit.
[6] Yeah.
[7] I saw your video this week you did on your story, waking up and you're saying, listen, I didn't want to wake up today.
[8] And most people don't admit that because, you know, a lack of perfection is sometimes perceived as weakness.
[9] So I wondered how that resonated with you in terms of the importance of your success originating from Chrissy being her truest self.
[10] Yeah.
[11] You can only be the best version of yourself, right?
[12] and I think if you start trying to be something else soon enough it will come out or you'll start to fall through the cracks or it will slip something will slip and you can only uphold that image and you know that presence for so long before it really just fucks up so the only thing you can do is be the best version of yourself and this is what I tell people all the time it's never been about other people's perceptions of you it's always been what you think about yourself and if you truly truly believe in yourself you won't want to be anybody else you want to you you won't want to be fake you wouldn't want to be trying to please everyone my job isn't to please everyone were you always at that point no tell me about that well my god no I mean I remember when I was in a relationship I was 16 years old I was like I'm gonna marry this person so I'm in love like this is it and then he cheated on me And I was like, oh, shit, this is not it.
[13] What's his name?
[14] No. He does not deserve the airtime.
[15] I'll tell you that much.
[16] But I was heartbroken and I was trying so hard to please this person.
[17] You know, I was trying so hard even in school.
[18] I know it sounds petty, but I was trying so hard to fit in all the time, all the time.
[19] I remember, like, this is so, this is not cute on my end.
[20] I'm going to be honest with you.
[21] I remember being it.
[22] school and I'm foreign okay like I'm Mediterranean we're hairy okay and I had a no I had a mustache and the girls used to rip me for it and I was so sad I was like oh my god why am I not like these pretty English girls like I don't understand like I used to feel so shitty about myself constantly trying to like fit in and then when I got cheated on I was like oh my god it must be because I'm not pretty enough it must be because I'm not sexy enough fuck that that's draining what do you mean i constantly have to be something else for someone else i'm never going to be happy and i i wasn't happy for such a long time so yeah i just i just fully like exposed my mustache story there that's fine so let's take us from mustache to to self -confidence um what was that journey and what what changed your uh your your self -esteem and your self -confidence what helped you get that confidence in yourself i think for me It was...
[23] Can we just...
[24] I think that should be the podcast title.
[25] No, no, seriously, even Sarah doesn't know that.
[26] I used to have a...
[27] No, guys, I'm going to be honest of you, okay?
[28] Like, I don't give a fuck.
[29] I had a moustache growing up, okay?
[30] And all the girls used to rip me the fuck up.
[31] They used to be like, ugh, your man, your boy.
[32] Like, honestly, bitchy shit, man. And I ate my school dinner for six months in a toilet.
[33] Because I didn't have any friends.
[34] Do you think that experience is part of the reason you are who you are today?
[35] 100%.
[36] Like, honestly, it's pretty impossible to break me. And when you've broken me, understand that you've really, like, broken me down because it takes a lot now.
[37] Was that, we talk about the mustache thing as if it was this kind of trivial thing, but I'm guessing what you're saying is you were bullied in school.
[38] Yeah, but at the same time, it's not like I was constantly bullied.
[39] Like, I think, I don't know.
[40] a lot of us go through awkward stages in school trying to make friends trying to be with a cool gang trying to do this trying to do that then you almost become like mean as well because you're so hurt by everybody else that you only yeah so I think you know like I remember walking into six form one time and a lot of personal things happened in my life and no one wanted to be around me at that point and I just hated everyone around me and I was full of anger constant anger and hate you know and I didn't want to be that person anymore especially after being cheered on I didn't want to be that person anymore and I remember being on the train one day because I used to work in potter's bar at the time in this little men's boutique like retail shop and I was coming back home and I remember like the penny dropped and I was like I can try so hard to be sexy and cool and all this stuff for other people but I'm not doing anything for myself and that's where the quote do this for you comes from because I signed up to the gym that day and then I walked straight back out and didn't go back for two months I'm not going to be I'm not going to lie to you I was signed up and I'm going to do this I'm going to do this I know what to do signed up didn't come back for two months I was like that shit I'm going back I don't know what to do why didn't you go because I was scared I was like who do you think you are Chrissy trying to be like a fitness girl you don't know what you're doing you know this was like six years ago you don't know what you're doing go back home relax right relax chill go to work study relax at some point you must have changed your mind yeah I did I did and evidently I did and I was like okay no I need to do this like what am I doing I'm so lethargic I'm tired all the time I'm not strong I was never like overweight or underweight.
[41] I was just tired all the time and drained, especially mentally.
[42] So when I got into the gym, I remember looking at the leg press machine and I was like, what is this transformer?
[43] I don't know what the fuck to do with this machine.
[44] And everybody else around me seemed to kind of know what to do.
[45] And then there was like men there and the women were on the cardio machines and the men were at the weights.
[46] I didn't care about the cardio machine.
[47] I was so intrigued by the weights.
[48] I was like, why do men go there?
[49] What is it about men that go there and women go there?
[50] I want to go there.
[51] And I didn't know how to use weights.
[52] I didn't know what I was doing.
[53] I was training.
[54] I didn't have anything.
[55] Like no one was on Instagram at the time.
[56] No one was teaching the way social media has literally opened up a book full of information and free content.
[57] And we didn't, I didn't have that at the time I started, you know?
