  • @Zerion
    The irony is that human beings are trying to become machines, while machines are trying to become human
  • @AndyTurba
    ''While life is supposed to be lived, we spend most of it planning to live it'' - that hit hard
  • @kellio8087
    1 year of chronic work related stress caused autoimmune disease that almost killed me. The business owner begged me to stay so I stayed until I finally ended up in the hospital. My shutting down body forced me to quit my job. It took me 3 months to build my body back and nearly went homeless. I almost lost everything. I will NEVER sacrifice my health to help someone else get rich ever again!
  • I love how vulnerable you allow yourself to be with different guests. You’re very inspiring And a breath of fresh air, for our younger population especially ❤❤
  • @TamaraJoy7
    “You’re releasing two podcast sets a week? Crazy! Crazy! You’re stressing yourself and you’re stressing your viewers!” 😅😅😅 funny… but I have to agree Steve.. these podcast guests pour SO much information, wisdom and knowledge into my brain that it takes a good week to digest it all! Having to keep up with two a week IS a lot to handle and chew on!…
  • @natureofmay
    Mo's humanity, wisdom, and vulnerability is beyond precious. Incredible conversation
  • @elida1037
    OMG. If this podcast does not change your life and open your eyes, I dont know what else will. Thank you for sharing this.
  • @angeeiselt1507
    Best interview EVER! Do one episode like this a month, enjoy the immense impact you create and reduce the stress in your own life. That’s real success! We don’t need more money, more power, more status, more productivity, more efficiency, more “things” in our lives… We need more fulfillment, contentment, peace, love, appreciation, gratitude and joy- and these things cost nothing. Love,love, love your show…
  • @mheberling5939
    I just woke up from only 3.5 hours of sleep. Not sleeping well, stress etc. Well, it’s interesting that I grab my phone and this is what I see first. You literally posted this 11 minutes or so ago. Is this fortuitous? I think I am going to like this interview. Thank you.
  • @DC-fw7ie
    Anyone who has lost someone close to them & has experienced bereavement can relate to this. It puts everything into perspective and makes us reassess our priorities. I lost both my parents at a young age and view life very differently to my friends who have not been through it. Great podcast
  • @queenedmab9184
    Wow!!! This is so deep. One of the best episode of the Diary of a CEO. Mr Mo got me thinking and rethinking how and why I live my life. For what??? Like he said, life is supposed to be lived and we spent most of the time planning to live ....THAT WAS DEEP. Thank you Steven for bringing such amazing guests and thanks Mo for sharing these gems with us❤🙏
  • @superbri007
    Mo has been on this show like... 3-4 times now... and every time, it's amazing. I love his perspective. This man has RESILIENCE, as most of us know he suffered a tremendous loss of a child. I have the utmost respect for MG, and I thank Steven for bringing Mo back on. Your team should discuss having Mo on like once a week or month and call it a DOAC 'Mo' Minute... but I'd listen to Mo Gawdat for hours.
  • @agerduba4668
    You are so right regarding the childhood impact on stress-I saw my parents fighting so much to pay the bills-They only told me to study hard and always have a job which I did-started as an intern with IBM at 19 years old and never stopped working like crazy for big IT companies. I am glad COVID gave us the opportunity to work from home and rebalance our work life balance. Now I put myself first!! I want to enjoy my life with a peaceful mind and have time to go to the gym. I wish I have done these changes earlier!
  • Excellent conversation on STRESS. People stay busy for STATUS symbol and fear of spending alone time with themselves for the demons that will arise 👏🏽
  • @karlacode
    I honestly started crying with the last question and answer. I feel like I watch so many podcasts and listen to speakers and conversations but Mo is such a beautiful soul. So much wisdom. Very grateful to be able to listen to these podcasts. Thank you.
  • @CamilaGrotti
    I had to pause the video to take this interview in. “Why is life supposed to be lived. We spend most of it planning to live it.” Man… 👏
  • @cbcb102
    Setting Limits and Prioritising the Important Stuff was the crux of this talk for me. Trouble is we just don't see this until we are in our 50/60's. Three hours of total engagement. Brilliant!
  • @camwilliams1
    My experience was like being at the family dining table and listening to a father and son being authentically helpful, loving, and kind to one another. Thank you for the gift
  • @christie6664
    The absolute best 2.5 hours I've spent in 2024. Thank you both for your incredible wisdom and raw honesty. This sort of authenticity is rare now.
