The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett sponsors and ad reads

The businesses that I've watched scale well commercially all have a system their team uses every single day. And for my team, that system has been our sponsor, Pipedrive. It's an easy to use intelligent CRM tool for growing sales teams that gives you visibility of every deal in your sales pipeline at every single stage. And it shows you what needs to happen for that deal to move forward all in real time. It's what keeps our commercial operation consistent when we were a team of five or when our commercial team was a team of 50. Over 100,000 companies are already running their sales on it so if you'd like to join them sign up at pipedrive.com slash CEO where you'll get an exclusive 30-day free trial instead of the usual 14 days and there's no credit card needed at all head to pipedrive.com slash CEO.

I realize that the Diary of SEO audience are strivers, whether it's in business or health. We all have big goals that we want to accomplish. And one of the things I've learned is that when you aim at the big, big, big goal, it can feel incredibly psychologically uncomfortable because it's kind of like being stood at the foot of Mount Everest and looking upwards. The way to accomplish your goals is by breaking them down into tiny, small steps. And we call this in our team the one percent and actually this philosophy is highly responsible for much of our success here. So what we've done so that you at home can accomplish any big goal that you have is we've made these one percent diaries and we released these last year and they all sold out. So I asked my team over and over again to bring the diaries back but also to introduce some new colors and to make some minor tweaks to the diary so now we have a better range.

I've got 60 seconds and I'm going to show you how much I can get done because of our sponsor called Whisper Flow. And for those of you that don't know what it is, it's a business I invested in that turns your speech into text in any app or device. I'm going to post into our Slack channel, which rewards whichever team member conducted the most experiments this week. Hi everyone, here is this week's experimenter of the week. Congratulations to the Diary of a CEO trailer team, which is Ant, Liv, Dom and Cam. You guys have won. Okay, now I'm going to open Gmail. So here is one of our founders on an email chain that I want to connect my team with. All I have to say is add my team's emails and Whisper will do exactly that. Now a quick message to Juan, who does my schedule every single week. Hey Juan, can I record on Wednesday at 2pm? Actually, no, you know what? Let's record at 3pm on Wednesday. Whisper Flow is four times faster than typing and it is incredibly easy to use. So if you want to give it a go, all you have to do is head to whisperflow.ai/steven to download it today.

I want to speak to the business owners listening and watching right now. I know what it's like to be personally responsible for every decision. I founded my first company at 21 years old, and honestly, the pressure can be immense. It's the kind of mental load that takes its toll below the surface. I recently did some tests through our sponsor, Function, which got me thinking about that invisible impact. I found that I had low levels of omega-3s. I had deficient levels of vitamin D, probably because I sit inside this dark room all day. And that has totally changed how I construct my day going forward. I get up in the morning and the first thing I now do is I go for a walk outside in the sunshine. In part to help my vitamin D levels increase, but also because it helps to reset my circadian rhythm. With Function, you can check your brain health, your aging, your stress, and so much more. They provide over 160 lab tests for what is equal to a dollar a day and member pricing on advanced imaging. Head to functionhealth.com slash DOAC to join and use code DOAC25 for a $25 credit.

If you're running a business, people have probably told you to use AI or get left behind. And I get that urgency. Still, AI doesn't fix a messy business. It exposes one because AI can only work with the information it can see. So if you ask AI something about your business, about stock or sales or customers or about your team, that information needs to be connected to the AI to be useful. That's the idea behind NetSuite by Oracle, the sponsor of this episode. NetSuite is the AI-powered business management suite that securely connects your financials, your inventory, your commerce, your HR and your CRM into a single source of truth. And with NetSuite Next, AI is built into that connected system. It can surface useful insights, help with routine work and let you ask questions about your business in plain English. For the first time ever, you can try NetSuite Next for free if your business is generating seven figures or more. Just go to netsuite.ai slash Bartlett. That's netsuite.ai slash Bartlett.

Just like John Jones, where marginal improvements in your cognitive performance can have a massive impact. Sometimes I podcast for 10 hours a day. Over the last couple of weeks, I've been in filming for a TV show and I have like one or two days off to get all of my work done, which means there's lots of cognitive load. And so I turn to ketones because I find myself more articulate, able to think more clearly, able to work out better when I'm fueled by ketones. And so the reason I became a co-owner of this company and the reason why they now are a sponsor of this podcast is because I remember one of my team members called Christiana, she tried it once and came up to my desk and she goes, this is the best product ever made. And I think in part that's because she really cares about those cognitive benefits as I do, as John Jones does, and as I think most of my listeners probably will. So if you haven't tried these yet, all you have to do is go to ketone.com slash Stephen, and you'll also get 30% off your first subscription order. You'll get exclusive Ketone IQ merch, and of course, cognitive benefits that might just change your life.

If you know me, and if you've listened to this podcast before, you'll know how obsessed I am with sleep. I've been on a bit of a journey with sleep. I see it as the single most important thing that I have the privilege of having control over. And that's exactly what our sponsor 8 Sleep are. It's a very, very intelligent piece of material to sleep on. Here's what the Eight Sleep Pod does. It monitors your body while you're sleeping. And with their AI, it adjusts the temperature for you using billions and billions and billions of hours of sleep data. And members have reported... up to a 34% deeper sleep and falling asleep up to 44% faster. Me and my fiancé, Melanie, sleep on different parts of the bed and it adjusts my part of the bed to my body and her part of the bed to her body. So if you want to learn more about this pod, go to 8sleep.com slash Stephen. Big opportunity. I'm not kidding. Give it a try. I really want to just make sure I tick off the box of cause factors.

I travel all the time. I made a rule in my life that I'll only travel with a cabin bag. The problem with this is there's not much space. And here's the solution. It is called an Exeter 1% travel pack. And I teamed up with Exeter to make this. Typically, I can only bring some of my black shirts. And it's a trade-off of which black shirt shall I bring? How many of these do you think I can get in here? So let's try... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14. Let's try 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24. Okay, so that's 24 black t-shirts. Here's where the magic comes in. Zip it up, make sure it's nice and sealed, and then use this little contraption. Stick it on there. I can now take more than 20 black shirts with me, which will last me three weeks. So if you travel frequently and you want to get one of these so you can save more space and be away for longer, go to exter.com and use code DOAC for 10% off our collection.
