This podcast PROVES that when mothers or even fathers focus all their energy in making their kids better skilled and better humans, great things will come out of it. I felt like he was a PROJECT for his mother and she focused, persevered, installed in him all what he needed to become this man he is today.

What an intriguing brain this young man has. His mind is wired in a very symphonic way. LOVE IT. He has given me a lot of words that explain my feelings

First time I ever heard of this channel. Felt like I found a goldmine. Impressed in your ability to let the guests talk/rant and knowing when you can add to the discussion.

Being an introvert, this is my favorite episode. I could very much relate to him talking about walking away from the dinner parties. I do the same and always wondered whether I was the only one and whether there was something wrong with me.

The concept of getting an idea, walking away to contemplate on it and then coming back an hour later perfectly describes the life of a writer, although sometimes it can be several hours before they come back. The idea for a story can come at any time.

This guy is one of the most genuine people I’ve ever seen. True to the audience and true to himself.

This is the best podcast in the world. The way the host challenges his guests with tough questions instead of just placating the guests, where its a real philosophical and existential conversation among equals instead of a fan boy interview is unparalleled and unrivaled. Bravo.

Hands down, this is the best podcast in the world. How deep it dives into details where you can literally can get a clear idea how Daniel works in his own way. It's not that he's become a billionaire, it's that he's able to solve huge problems and said practically said anything is possible. Just wow.

I relate to this guy soo well. Introvert by nature that can turn it on. Avoided uni and went into startups in foreign countries early on. I have changed jobs soo much and gained a broad understanding of business, admin, sales, marketing, so on as well as multiple countries, cultures, etc. I am 30 and probably should start my own business.

This man is one of THE BEST interviewers I have ever seen (after Tom Bilyeu, I had stopped watching such podcast because they were not asking quality questions). This man squeezes the brain of his guest and whoa....what a value and insight he provides! Love it!

The music industry was going down hill, but Spotify pushed it off a cliff. Pay artists more.

So much to take out of this episode. The way Daniel has, with his co-founder, shaped their business and how he’s created a culture that allows people to grow and be able to fail is what I found especially refreshing. Empathy and humility are such important attributes for a leader to exhibit. As someone working in a startup with a founder who operates very differently and is far from what I think we need to take our business forward, this episode has been especially helpful. Thank you Stephen for continuing to have such incredible guests on your show. It’s making a real and positive impact on people like me 😊❤

Imagine if he payed the artists? ..... instead of having 1 multi billionaire and millions of struggling, penniless music creators. What an idea THAT would be.

This episode was truly refreshing. I identify a bit with being an introvert with add traits myself. I have always had more than one area of interest in my life: art, graphic design, brand management, copywriting, client management, psychology, fashion. I felt to be really good at many things, but not great at one. I worked with start-ups helping to build brands, but never thought I could be an entrepreneur myself as I saw this diversity in skills as a weakness more than a strength. I also always thought that work should be hard. So maybe it’s time to address those harsh believes.

So affirming to hear that there are other people who need to blend social time with a lot of alone time, even while socializing. And that their friends understand.

When I first saw the video uploaded, I said "No Not Daniel Ek, he is a topic in every tech event in Stockholm". But I sit down and listened and respected his authenticity and that hold me every minute during this interview. Then yesterday I forwarded this interview and asked a friend who knows him and she said he listened him in many occasions, she said he is honest and open so it leaves a surprise to us and a moment of silence. When he shared his motivation to be in a group/herd, I saw the worries of my 11 year old son growing up in Stockholm. When he shared the difficulties of motivations and aims in life, this is so good. Thanks. I will watch again with my son.
