A side of @Druski that the world has never seen... Tomorrow, 9.24.26 👀
Jürgen Klopp is a legend - not just of Liverpool, but of football itself. I spent 3 hours with him this week talking about his incredible journey on The Diary Of A CEO… and I really hope you enjoy it. It’ll certainly make you respect this man even more and respect “the Liverpool way” - regardless of who you support. 1. What really happened behind the scenes that encourage him to leave. 2. Would he have stayed if he knew he was going to win the premier league and city were going to struggle? 3. The job offer he once got from Manchester United (and the exact reason why he turned it down)? 4. His relationship with Michael Edwards and who was responsible for transfers at Liverpool? 5. Why Darwin Nunez was angry at him at the end of the season. 6. The importance of his “aura” and “heavy metal football”. 7. His thoughts on Liverpool’s massive transfer window that he once said was not possible. 8. How he inspired players to “run through fire” in unexpected ways. 9. If he’d ever return to Anfield, and his heartbreak around the tragic passing of Diego. 10. We also spoke about Arne Slot, leadership, legacy, and what it truly means to give everything to a legendary club like Liverpool. And so so much more… A huge thank you to all the Liverpool fans and legends who sent in their thoughts and questions ahead of the interview - including @Carra23 and @JHenderson. Out Monday! 8am 👊🏾❤️

She said Yes 💍🥺 To say I was nervous is an understatement… I snuck into Morocco where she was on holiday with her family - she thought I was in Europe - and surprised her when she thought she was meeting her fam for dinner. 10 years ago, I didn’t really understand the concept of marriage - but when you meet the right person, a lot of things start to make sense ❤️

Dr Louisa Nicola revealed a simple tennis ball exercise that can boost your hand-eye coordination
My Nigerian mother and my English father modelled hard work in a way that I never understood growing up. My dad worked a full time job late into the evening and when his work was done, he would go and join my mum at her job in a small, hot, fast-paced restaurant kitchen until the early hours of the morning. They came home when I was asleep and went to work when I was asleep. When my mum left the restaurant, she opened a corner shop called KJS and would work all day and all night. She would end up sleeping in the back room of the corner shop on a bag of rice because local kids would break in, steal things and vandalise the shop because she was pretty much the only black women in the area. My dad again, would finish his full time job, and go straight to my mum’s shop and help her until late into the night. The most remarkable part of this, isn’t just the fact that they worked 7-days a week to provide for their family. It was their attitude towards their work. They never ever described or viewed what they did as hard work. I never ever heard them complain even once about "working hard". They seemed to view work as the ultimate privilege, honour and opportunity. The older I’ve gotten, the more I’ve realised that they were my biggest professional inspirations and influence - not because they gave me profound advice like some parents do, but because they set a profound example without needing to say a word - one that has enabled me to pursue my own dreams with a level of focused gratitude that I wouldn't have had otherwise. "My parents were tasked with the job of survival and I with self-actualisation. What a luxury it is to search for purpose, meaning, and fulfilment." - Bo Ren

If nothing changes, what will your life actually look like in 2026? Most people don’t get stuck because they lack ambition - they get stuck because they never pause long enough to choose. Today I’m joined by Chris Williamson returning to The Diary Of A CEO for the second time, to help make sense of the decisions that shape where we end up next year. Chris is the host of Modern Wisdom, one of the world’s biggest podcasts, and someone who’s spent years speaking to psychologists and founders about why people struggle to change even when they know what they want. He talks about the decisions we delay and the discomfort we avoid, and how easy it is to wake up years later wondering where the time went.

Druski opens up about how a call from Drake changed his life: “The thing that changed my life was Drake calling for The Laugh Now Cry Later music video. Brands started to take me seriously, it was no more sending free merch. It wasn’t until then that the real money was coming in. I can’t believe he took a chance on me”

Communication expert Jefferson Fisher showed me something I won’t forget... He calls it the string theory. When two people are talking, there’s an invisible string between them. If you check your phone, the string goes slack. Even just having it on the table breaks the connection. Here’s how he explained it 👇🏾

Antibiotics don’t work on viruses - which makes plant-based remedies more important than ever. I had Herbalist Simon Mills on The Diary Of A CEO recently because he challenges the way we think about treating illness. For cold and flu symptoms, he shared a simple one you can make at home that not only warms the body, but helps your system flush out waste. Here’s how it works, and why it might be worth trying next time you’re run down.

Before this conversation, I thought I understood Bruno Fernandes. I knew the numbers. The goals, the assists, the leadership, the criticism he’s faced over the years at Manchester United. But I didn’t understand the mentality behind it. Bruno has arguably become United’s greatest player of the post-Ferguson era, carrying their creativity season after season. He’s won more club player of the year awards than Ronaldo, and only five players have scored more than his 70 league goals. So I went to Manchester United Training Ground to ask him questions the footballing world wants to know. Bruno spoke about growing up in Porto, watching his father sacrifice his own football career to provide for the family. He told me his dad never praised him for scoring goals. Instead, he’d point out the small things he still needed to improve. And somehow that mindset shaped one of the most resilient athletes in world football. We spoke about: - Why he believes character matters more than talent in elite teams. - How dressing room culture determines whether talent succeeds or fails. - Why taking risks is essential if you want to create anything extraordinary! - His honest opinion on pressure and why he thinks it’s a privilege. - His thoughts on having Michael Carrick as a manager. - Addressing Roy Keane’s criticism. When you listen to Bruno speak, you understand that what makes him exceptional isn’t just technical ability. It’s his standards. The standards he holds himself to. The standards he expects from teammates. The standards he believes define culture. I really respect how Bruno chose to join United during instability because he believed in rebuilding something meaningful rather than joining an “easy” project. I saw a much softer and more thoughtful side of Bruno that I don’t think people will expect. So, thank you Bruno for taking the time to sit down with me and for being so vulnerable. Even if you don’t care about football, there’s a huge amount to learn from this conversation about leadership, resilience and high performance.

🚨 ANNOUNCEMENT: Today I’m excited to announce we’ve closed a major investment to build the Disney of the creator economy! In 2017, on my way home from work I picked up a $100 mic from the Apple Store, went home, plugged it into GarageBand, opened my diary and started talking about the things inside it. I edited the episode (terribly) and published it as a podcast called “The Diary Of A CEO”. That decision changed the course of my life… 💡 That’s the day I became a “creator”. It cost me $100 and a laptop to start my own show and build my own audience in 2017. Thirty years earlier, in 1992 when I was born, I would have needed millions in funding, a warehouse full of broadcast equipment, and - most expensively - permission from network executives who controlled the only distribution channels that had any reach! WE NO LONGER NEED PERMISSION TO CREATE! 👊🏾 A seismic shift is underway in the “attention economy” and I don’t think most people realise how profound it is... When attention shifts from institutions to creators, everything shifts: how elections are won (as we saw in the last US election cycle), how society is shaped, how companies are built (funds are now investing in distribution not ideas), and how capital is allocated (we’re seeing the rise of creator-investors / funds). The new centre of gravity is not the institution, it’s the individual creator. 🏰 For the last century, companies like Disney demonstrated the power of a single piece of intellectual property. 🐭 They built a global empire by taking a character like Mickey Mouse and building a universe around him - films, theme parks, and merchandise. 💸 This created a flywheel of immense, compounding value which changed the course of the last century. We are building the modern version of this model. But in our world, the IP is not a fictional character. The Creator is the new franchise. Our mission is to turn individual creators into global brands with the same scale and impact as Disney - but in the modern internet era. We focus on three core pillars: Creator Media (like The Diary Of A CEO), Creator Ventures (their products and companies), and the Creator Technology (like Flightcast) that powers it all. We’re already powering some of the world’s most exciting creators and today we're announcing a major 8-figure strategic investment into Steven . com at a $425m valuation that brings some of the world's most forward-thinking investors and many of my favourite founders on board to build this future with us! Thank you to all of you for the support and encouragement over the years ❤️ and to my 100+ colleagues who are building this future alongside me. If you want to join us on this mission, please let me know below! 👇🏾

what. the. f*ck! 😳 I woke up to a text from my brother telling me Spotify had announced that my podcast is the 2nd biggest show globally behind Joe Rogan.... i genuinely don't know how to say this, so I'm just going to word vomit it out... How f*cking weird is that? Like truly... how weird is that!? The Diary Of A CEO started in my spare bedroom at 2am back in 2017. Episode 1 was edited by me on Garageband (sorry about that episode) and I used a sock as the pop-shield 🧑🏿‍💻🧦 We got 40 downloads in the first week 🤗 I kept going because I loved it. It was therapy - as an introvert, I love deep meaningful conversations, and they're rare in a world full of small talk - so I found my own little place to connect with people on the level that I enjoy. It turns out so many of you - like those kinds of conversations too! If my mates Ash Jones and Oliver Yonchev - who are always the first to tell me when something is crap - hadn't told me they thought it was decent, I probably wouldn't have had the confidence to continue... isn't it crazy how a few supportive words from someone you trust can genuinely shift the trajectory of your life... Life is so weird man thank you. For the feedback, for tuning in, the comments, the guest suggestions, for showing up every week, for enabling all of this, for coming to our events, for your kind words, and for being there through the sunshine and the rain! I won't let you down ❤️👊🏾 anyway, back to work P.S. shoutout to all my incredible friends on this list @ChrisWillx @hubermanlab @jayshetty @melrobbins ❤️

Dr Rena Malik is one of the world’s leading urologists who believes something is quietly going wrong with our bodies and our relationships… And the data she’s seeing suggests it’s happening faster than most people realise. Rena specialises in the urinary and reproductive systems with expertise in sexual medicine and hormone health. And what I like about her is that she goes through all of the questions which no one has ever answered for us.

this is probably an unexpected opinion coming from me... entrepreneurship is over-sold and self-awareness is under-sold 👇🏾 The not so popular truth is, most people would be happier with a good salary than a successful startup. But social media continues to push a generation to optimise for lives they don't actually want. Entrepreneurs like me get a lot of likes and followers when we tell people to quit their jobs and chase their dreams. But here is the context that we nearly always miss👇🏾 Entrepreneurship can be really really boring - you will have to do things you do not enjoy. You will deal with big, hard, stressful problems, every day - including bank holidays, christmas and any other time off - for years. If you're lucky enough to be successful, the problems will get bigger, not smaller. You will not have one boss. You will have hundreds - every customer, every investor, every employee. You will answer to them 24/7. You will probably work 3x the hours you do now, have 10x the stress and a tiny probability of significant success. A recent survey found 87.7% of founders deal with at least mental health issues. That's not a bug. It's a feature of entrepreneurship. You'll see your kids less. You'll probably earn less (for years, maybe forever). You will probably pay yourself last and as little as possible. You'll struggle to switch off. Forever. Your phone will probably become a prison. And here's the punchline: If you succeed, it all gets harder. More money = more complexity. More growth = more anxiety. More success = more people depending on you. In life, when you find yourself following someone else's playbook, you are at risk of winning someone else's prizes. All I'm saying is be intentional. I'm not AGAINST entrepreneurship, I'm FOR self-awareness. Truth "wealth" is probably👇🏾 ✅ Knowing what game you want to play and why ✅ Having the courage not to play other people's games ✅ Understanding your real strengths and weaknesses ✅ Designing within them, not against them Happiness is not about the structure, the social media post or the story. Happiness is about alignment. Building a life that's aligned to whoever you are! This does the beg the question, why do I do it? If I'm honest, the answer is probably....I don't know. It's probably some blend of lower t trauma, my inability to fit inside normal structures like school and conventional work-places (I was fired a few times), my adhd brain that makes working on something for 14 straight hours feel like 7 minutes and some childhood self-esteem issues. Whatever the reason, this is who I am and what works for me. This is the weird way I make myself happy and fulfilled. To someone that is not me, it would probably feel like torture. And to me, their life would probably feel like torture. And that’s the thing… when you create a life that feels like home to you, it will probably look like hell to tourists. Please know what you are not!

You will deal with big, hard, stressful problems, every day - including bank holidays, christmas and any other time off - for years. If you're lucky enough to be successful, the problems will get bigger, not smaller. You will not have one boss. You will have hundreds - every customer, every investor, every employee. You will answer to them 24/7. You will probably work 3x the hours you do now, have 10x the stress and a tiny probability of significant success. A recent survey found 87.7% of founders deal with at least mental health issues. That's not a bug. It's a feature of entrepreneurship. You'll see your kids less. You'll probably earn less (for years, maybe forever). You will probably pay yourself last and as little as possible. You'll struggle to switch off. Forever. Your phone will probably become a prison. And here's the punchline: If you succeed, it all gets harder. More money = more complexity. More growth = more anxiety. More success = more people depending on you. In life, when you find yourself following someone else's playbook, you are at risk of winning someone else's prizes. All I'm saying is be intentional. I'm not AGAINST entrepreneurship, I'm FOR self-awareness. Truth "wealth" is probably👇🏾 ✅ Knowing what game you want to play and why ✅ Having the courage not to play other people's games ✅ Understanding your real strengths and weaknesses ✅ Designing within them, not against them Happiness is not about the structure, the social media post or the story. Happiness is about alignment. Building a life that's aligned to whoever you are! This does the beg the question, why do I do it? If I'm honest, the answer is probably....I don't know. It's probably some blend of lower t trauma, my inability to fit inside normal structures like school and conventional work-places (I was fired a few times), my adhd brain that makes working on something for 14 straight hours feel like 7 minutes and some childhood self-esteem issues. Whatever the reason, this is who I am and what works for me. This is the weird way I make myself happy and fulfilled. To someone that is not me, it would probably feel like torture. And to me, their life would probably feel like torture. And that’s the thing… when you create a life that feels like home to you, it will probably look like hell to tourists. Please know what you are not!
